Reviews For Le Havre
It did what a ferry…
It did what a ferry is supposed to do - cross a body of water without sinking, and delivering the passengers safely to their destination. The crossing was comfortable and it all ran to time. My only gripe would be the following: When I got to my cabin, the entry card I had been given on shore did not work. Nobody explained that it had to be exchanged for a different swipe card. I only found out because another passenger told me. So, I went to the information desk to get the new card. I was given two, neither of which worked. After frantically going up and down stairs from deck 8 to deck 7 about a dozen times, it eventually transpired that the battery in the cabin door lock was exhausted and needed replacing. As we had been cycling all day long without stopping for lunch, I was desperate to catch the restaurant before it closed. Announcements about last orders were already being made soon after we boarded. So, I could have done without this extra hassle. I have to say, though, that the staff at the information desk were absolutely charming, and one of them made a point of finding me in the restaurant, assuring me that the lock was now working (he had personally tested it) and returning the entry card to me in person. Let me just add that the food in the restaurant was excellent, the cabin was very comfortable, the shower was great. If only I had not had to get up at 5 am for breakfast!

Positive: the staff were very helpful. It wasn’t too crowded. Negative: My car was not under cover so got spattered with sea spray and rain.There were no comfy seats unless I paid - although not expensive. On DFDS they are freely available. A 6h journey on the chairs available otherwise would have been horrendously uncomfortable. Because the comfy seats were at the front of the ship and it was a wall of windows, the sun made the room very hot and there was no climate control. The doors couldn’t be left open as that would allow in anybody - without paying. I had to keep leaving for short periods to cool down.
