You pays your money and takes your choice re ferries, but what gets me on P & O Hull/Zeebrugge is the differance between the boats re meals. Paying that money, the crossing is part of the pleasure, and a nice meal, and breakfast a treat, but what a differance. The Brugge out, fabulous selection cold and hot tables all presented well. Super service from waiters, and the ladies got a rose at the end of the meal. Breakfast the kids were in heaven, croissants, choc sprinkles, and everything they imagined on the hot counter.
Return on the York, very modest selection on cold buffet, hot meals forever running out and waiting for stuff from kitchen. Poor selection of hot food, and oriental food very mediocre. Same story at breakfast, waiting for sausage, hash browns, and NO CHOC SPRIKLES for the corn flakes.
Amazing , one boat does, the other does nt. Most amazing is that it has been like that for 30 yrs to my knowledge (even with Norland and Norstar) and it gets no better. I always pity those who only see the
York, they get a poor deal.

ps for the anoraks compare window frames, Brugge stainless steel, York rusty iron, it obviously is in the genes.

Mike in answer to your P.O.S.H. comment - we've just inherited some money, and feel we could afford to up the game this year...why not, but we still want to go in tents !
