Has anyone used the rosslare-cherbourg route with celtic link ferries ?
I'm trying to find info on the cabins. I have a fussy lot, and need to book an outside cabin, but cant find anyhting on their site about the cabins, just that they have both inner & outer types.
Thanks.

Hi Declang, Why not give CF a ring, we've always found them to be very helpful with any queries. When I checked their prices a couple of weeks ago they were, surprisingly, dearer than Irish Ferries!. Their 2007 prices had only just be published so maybe there was a mistake - hope so!
Hi Jim,
I was comparing to brittany ferries from cork. They are good, but even more expensive !
I was about to start trawling all the ferry sites for a landbridge route through uk, but thought I'd check celtic link first, as rosslare is handy enough for me, with relatives in Wicklow.
Did irishferries once, but very unimpressed with the boat, the service & the cabins. (and the crossing was so rough, it was scary !) Mabye just unlucky, but it put us off them bigtime.
I looked at Celtic last year, but think I read somewhere that they are primarily a Cargo type outfit, with limited extra facilities
I have used both Brittany Ferries & Irish Ferries, and would recommend Brittany as the best, the ship is lovely, and more hotel like that anything else.
Prices seemed to be a little better with Brittany too. Its nice to arrive at 7am and have whole day to travel whereever you are going.
Just booked a crossing for Easter with Brittany Ferries!
It looking more and more like I won't travel with them. I'm still researching ferries & journey times from Ireland to UK and on to France.
I;ve also used irishferries and brittany ferries in the past 2 years. The brittany ship was very impressive, and we splashed out on a great cabin coming back. Fantastic !
Just wondering if anyone had anything more to add about experiences with Celtic Link ? I've used Irish Ferries a lot in the past, though the last time 2 of the 4 engines stopped and we were 12 hours late in arriving - total journey 29 hours !!!!!
I haven't used Brittany Ferries, mainly because they were always more expensive than IF - but also because Cork is a huge drive from the North compared to Rosslare, which can be done in a day with the new motorway.
It would be nice if there were a good alternative to Irish Ferries - it might put a cap on the outrageous fares they charge over the Summer !
I think the general concensus on irish ferries is that they are a bit crap, but they're cheap, so people keep using them.
We had a dreadful journey with them, kinda scary actaully, so are very hesitant to use them again.
Brittany ferries, from cork was a totally different experience. Could not fault them at all.
Hi Declang, I have used CF, in the past, and found them excellent, basic, no discos, boutiques etc, but good 'trucker' style food (included in price). Irish Ferries are about to dump the old 'Normandy' for a much larger ship but I dont know when
