    I used it once, its a faster journey to the mid mainland than going on Norfolk line but I prefer a cabin to chill in with my son as I have a 3 hour journey when we get there.

    Its a bit boring for me to be sitting about when I could be getting a few hours extra shut eye as I don't usually arrive at my destination until 9-10pm depending on when we get off the ferry at Birkenhead.

    Swings and roundabouts for me I guess but if you don't have kids and a long journey ahead of you afterwards then I recommend it...

    Totally overlooked Warrenpoint!! Not sure if I would like to spend a 9 hour daylight sailing on a small freight ferry like that! (especially with children)

    BUT they are the newest ships on the Irish Sea....albeit one replacing Riverdance ;)
