We use it on the Portsmouth to St Malo route and we love it. It is a great start to our holiday. It has lovely big ferry beds and plenty of room to dump stuff, sleep and not disturb the OH if you are a light sleeper.
Our daughter used to crash on the sofa bed (when she was younger) and we used it on our honeymoon to meet up with our friends and family as it has loads of seating room.
We order a delivered breakfast and also take advantage of the restaurant booking.
It does cost a bit more but if you don't mind saving your change over the year then you can afford it along with the restaurant meal.
We also use them during the day and they are great if you have been doing a lot of driving and you want to sleep. Personally, I don't rate the fruit or the macaroons and would rather have more of the 'chocolate chaude'. We do like to take the bread and croissants' which we take with us to munch on the way.
The 4 bed cabins are lovely but it is the space and added comfort that make the difference to us.

If the budget allows, I can totally see the point for an o/n crossing. Not convinced for a day-time, but then we don't have kids to entertain, and we'd never do a daytime from the western ports anyway.

Last year we went from Hull for the first time, and will be doing it again in a few weeks. P&O's Club cabins don't seem to be quite so good, from the limited pics they show.

Any thoughts Cat, of BobCat10?



We had a Club cabin on the Pride of Hull outbound and Pride of Rotterdam inbound last month. Can't compare to Brittany Ferries Club cabins as have never used them, but both cabins were spacious and comfortable with a seating area with a small settee, chair and coffee table, TV, tea/coffee facilities, crisps and biscuits, fridge/mini bar and bathrobes. They also had 2 windows, one to the front and one to the side. The Pride of Hull cabin was bigger and better, with a separate bedroom area and a bathroom with a bath(!!!) with overhead shower, but on the other hand, the Pride of Rotterdam cabin had a huge shower in the bathroom, with 2 shower heads, one at each end! The complimentary glass of champagne had unfortunately been discontinued the day before we sailed, but has been replaced by 2 mini bottles of red and 2 of white wine, plus all the rest of the mini bar goodies (2 each of Orange juice, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, water and bottles of Stella). We compensated a little for the extra outlay by taking our own food for tea and breakfast which we ate in the cabin.

If you can afford it, just do it.........Life is far to short to try and justify it with other people.

Do it and enjoy it I say. 👍😀🇫🇷🍷

Aplogies to op. I notice that you are visiting South Africa in September. My son works as a game ranger at Mali Mali which is next door to the Kruger and his home when he gets there is in Mbabane in Swaziland. I have also had a holiday in Mbabane when i lived in SA. You will enjoy visiting both those places.

Again, very sorry OP, enjoy your Commodore Cabin.

Thanks Ian, not long to go now! It is our second trip to SA and absolutely loved it, what an amazing country. We were more Western Cape last time, so doing the East side this time. Everyone I have spoken to says Swaziland is a lovely place with lovely people. We are also staying in St Lucia KN, and then onto the Drakensburg and Lesotho.
