The food is good quality for value and the entertainment very family orientated, with singers and magician.

I booked the night crossing, but too late to get a cabin, so I got a reclining seat. It''s "ok" for few hours, but I ended up sleeping on the floor as most people in the salon.

On a final note, it was a good experience, cheaper than the plane and I really enjoyed the arrival overlooking St Malo! I traveled on board the Normandie from Caen to Portsmouth last night and enjoyed a pleasant and fast night crossing back to England. The Normandie is a rather nice ferry, its facilities look new. I booked an inside cabin and, even though it''s pretty small, it''s very comfortable.

The advantage of traveling overnight by ferry is you don''t get the feeling of wasting a day off traveling! I recommend this ferry service for anyone crossing the channel. Good price and quick. The ferries are quite new, comfortable with alternative styles of seating. Staff were friendly and helpful.

On my journeys the number of car passengers were minimal so there was masses of space and the ability to choose a quiet spot if needed I was going down with flu on the return trip so this was welcome.
