One of the easier ones

The only tip I would give is that the verification code goes to your email address đŸ‘đŸ»

Horrible service for a fee

My sailing was cancelled by the ferry company, and yet their app says the trip is “completed”, it’s utterly ridiculous! Even the ferry company website acknowledges that the ferry is cancelled. A total scam. They charge 6 pounds service fee and have horrible service. Never use it again!

Korsika

Problemlose Kommunikation, gerade auch wenn sich Abfahrtszeit Àndert. Hilfsbereites Personal. Leider kein Duty Free.

Worse service

Do not buy ticket, go directly

Buchung funktioniert nicht

Bei meiner App auf dem iPhone funktioniert die App nicht. Ich kann keine neuen Buchungen vornehmen. Auch die Hilfe Funktion bringt mich nicht weiter und direkten Kontakt. Mit einer natĂŒrlichen Person bekommt man nicht. Das ist natĂŒrlich alles sehr schlecht.

Réservation annulée

J’ai effectuĂ© une rĂ©servation en payant le montant avec confirmation de rĂ©servation
AprĂšs quelques heures, la rĂ©servation s’est annulĂ©e !
Cause : les prix sont augmentés

Overcharging overnight

Nachdem man eine gĂŒnstige FĂ€hre fĂŒr einen fairen Preis gebucht hat, erfĂ€hrt man ĂŒber Nacht per Mail, dass die Fahrt plötzlich fast doppelt so teuer sein soll. Beim Anbieter der FĂ€hre direkt kriegt man fĂŒr den alten Preis sogar noch eine Kabine dazu. Short Story shorter: DON‘T!

Jamil

Great app to book cheap ferry tickets

Bravo

Simple rapide et efficace 👍👍👍

FRAUD

Took our money for a ferry that never existed. Went to the port and they said the ferry does not exist. Had to buy new tickets.

Hahahah

Hehehehsh

Preis fast doppelt so hoch in der BestÀtigung wie vorher angegeben

Nicht ok sondern sehr Àrgerlich

Total joke, looks good at first, don’t trust them!

Got this app to book a ferry from Ireland to Wales, seemed pretty easy to use. Got to the Stena ferry in Dublin harbor, they informed us that there is a new policy-ETA-UK- which direct ferries+stena, provide zero info about and we could not board until info was submitted, could take days. Bottom line, we couldn’t board, direct ferries+stena will not refund the $180, not even partially, plus, you can only contact them via chat bot, which keeps apologizing, but blames the traveller.

Hello, We’re sorry for your experience. Entry requirements like ETA-UK are government regulations and are the traveller’s responsibility to check before travel. We provide booking and general information only and cannot supply or manage government documentation.

Pratique

J’apprĂ©cie les alertes qui arrivent Ă  l’avance sur mon portable

Don’t use this app

I booked a ferry from Arran to mainland only to find out AFTER that there was no availability. They also charged an extra £10 on top of a £26.50 fare!! They have no direct knowledge of the ferry availabllty - BEST TO book direct with Caledonian MacBrayne . They also use bots- which when you need to sort out this disinformation for ferry trips asap - isn’t helpful. Expensive and useless.

Schlechte App

Haben ĂŒber Direct Ferrys gebucht. In der BestĂ€tigungsemail war ein Link angegeben, um die App zu installieren und das E-Ticket zu erhalten. App hĂ€ngt sich stĂ€ndig auf. Wir kommen nicht an unser Ticket. Mal sehen, was nachher an der FĂ€hre passiert. Wenn ich die anderen Rezessionen vorher gelesen hĂ€tte, hĂ€tte ich einen anderen Anbieter gewĂ€hlt.

App

App wont let me register - wont send login code to my email. V poor

Lieber nicht

Mit Flexi-Tarif-Zuschlag Überfahrt im 3stelligen Euro-Bereich gebucht, um Umbuchungs- und StornogebĂŒhren zu vermeiden. Überfahrt wurde dann krurzfristig von tagsĂŒber zu einer Ankunftszeit mitten in der Nacht verlegt. Umbuchung dann plötzlich doch nicht mehr möglich, dafĂŒr aber Storno mit Storno- und Bearbeitungs-GebĂŒhr. Dazu noch komplett inkompetente Chatbot-Kommunikation, kein Telefon-Support, dreiste Falschaussagen, Stumm- und Totstellen. Fazit: Gebuchte Dienstleistung nicht erhalten, Geld fĂŒr nichts abgezockt. Unseriös. Besser direkt bei FĂ€hrlinien buchen.

Worst booking experience

My credit card was accepted 4 times(2x Amex & 2x Visa) by my CC companies, but each time the website site said it was not accepted. Then I tried again ( booking for 2 Seniors) and it said there was no tickets available for the trip. Now I tried again ( the sixth time) it was available, but no senior price offerings and it finally was accepted - but at a higher price. DO NOT USE THEIR BOOKING SERVICE!!!

Recent trip

When we arrived for our DFDS Ferry to Dunkirk we were informed that we could catch an earlier ferry to Calais. Oh, joy. Many thanks
