This is such a helpful video for those travelling with neurodivergent children - means I can show my child just what to expect before we go :)

You need to link this direct from your e-ticket confirmation, your website FAQs on getting tickets and checking in, etc. I've spent two hours just figuring out where to go and what to do to be sure that I can pick up my (already booked, purchased, and confirmed online) ticket and check my car in on time. There's a reference to "allowing extra time" to "pick up your ticket" from "Check-in Desk No 1" -- but no map, description, or any other reference to where that is. If this video is accurate, turns out that just means: follow the signs to Irish Ferries, then use Lane 1 to pull up to Check-in BOOTH No 1. Those of us connecting from international flights with a car pickup from LHR plus drive across Kent to Dover, in order to meet an (unclear) check-in window aren't "neurodivergent" --- we are just trying to make sense of fragmented, incomplete, and unclear instructions scattered across multiple web pages and emails. It really does not need to be this piecemeal. By connecting the dots from three different pages, I find that for an 11:05 to Calais, I CANNOT check in more than two hours early, but I MUST check in at least one hour prior, AND allow "extra time" (how much?) to "pick up the ticket based on my confirmation email." So, on a Thursday morning in May, how long should I allow to actually enter the Port and arrive at Irish Ferries Check-in Booth 1 ?

If it is an e-ticket then why the hell do you need it on a piece of paper???

I go on that boat. I'M GOING ON FRIDAY!

[tomcorcoran]

is it any different for an unaccompanied freight booking?

[dannyfeller]

Is it true that in order to squeeze more money from the public that Irish ferries decided to remove crew accommodation? Meaning crew would have to hot bunk? If true that is disgraceful, it’s a merchant ship, not a warship.

😑Foot passengers are treated disgracefully; required to walk for an hour from Cherbourg station to ferryport with luggage, no buses, no taxis, no shuttle. I met an American who was coming into France pushing his luggage in a discarded shopping trolley! No gangplanks to shore for foot passengers on French crossings to disembark; we had to wait for almost an hour until all the cars had driven off before we were allowed disembark via car deck. No buses at Dublin Ferryport either, fortunately a couple of taxis thought to come along in a while.

How about for foot travelers arriving by taxi?

What pisses me off is that always police car verification ...

[hugostiglitz]

Has to be the worst way to get to Ireland from UK.

Illegal immigrants don’t need to be checked.?
