Extremely friendly and helpful staff, safe covid compliant system in place, clean ship.

Reviewed on 2021-04-26T10:30:30

Arrived at the ferry port full of concerns, having been shielding for over a year now with my 1year old daughter and having a full blown anxiety about covid.We are due across Europe, all the way in Hungary on the 4th, so there was no way around this trip. Daddy couldn't join us, and whilst driving doesn't scare me, the trip mid pandemic, with a baby did give me something to worry about... On arrival I was pleased that both at passport control, and check in I was asked to present negative PCR tests, declaration forms and documents before I was granted entry. This gave me a peace of mind to start with. The staff also secured a spot right next to the lift so I can easily maneuver with the pram. When we arrived on board, a kind uniformed man (Jason I believe?!) approached us baring gifts for my daughter, and to welcome us on board. (Pretty sure we are the only girls amongst the lorry drivers :) ) Although I was going to spend the trip outside to minimise contact, we ended up staying at the restaurant, given that there are only a handful of people, and we are safely positioned 20-30 meters from each other. The complimentary meal was only a cherry on top! Thank you DFDS for making me feel ever so slightly safer/better then what I expected, and blowing my expectations today! Baby Emma and Diana

Fined fifty quid for a mistake

Reviewed on 2021-04-09T11:41:22

Three days before travelling, I booked my crossing from Dover to Dunkirk using the DFDS website,- or so I thought. When I arrived at the port of Dover there was a problem. It seemed I'd booked it in the wrong direction, ie. from Dunkirk to Dover. It's a stupid mistake, but very easy to do. Indeed, when booking through their phoneline and their Live chat in the past, their operators have themselves made the same mistake once or twice. You would think this would be a simple case of recognising my mistake and changing the direction of travel. This would cost them absolutely nothing. Instead they decided I had to pay them an extra £49.37 to make the amendment. This they explained, was the difference in price between what I had already paid 3 days earlier, and the "same-day" booking price. I protested that I hadn't booked it the same day, I had booked it 3 days earlier. It only had to be changed the same day because I had made a mistake. But they wouldn't listen. Knowing, I suppose, that I had already had to pay out for a Covid test etc. and would not drive away, they knew they had me over a barrel and I had to cough up. Afterwards I contacted their "Customer Care" and explained the case again and asked for a "goodwill refund". They refused this and only offered a measly, tiny percentage discount on my next crossing which was neither here nor there. I declined it. In my opinion it's not fair play to pocket a fellow's fifty quid just because he's made an honest mistake in the booking process.

I really enjoyed our trip to France last summer. The ship was well managed in light of covid and we there was a free meal included - which is always a bonus.Will travel with them again once it is allowed. Well priced

Misunderstanding on my part for Covid test, but DFDS at Newhaven could not have done more to help me out.First class service!! I’m a fairly regular customer, but this is what you call customer care. Well done!

Travelling anywhere is complicated…

Reviewed on 2021-03-19T21:38:27

Travelling anywhere is complicated nowadays but nothing could be as difficult and disorganised as the dfds crossing today!!After preparing all the necessary documentation before leaving , I arrived in Calais at 16.30 with a flexible ticket booked 6 days previously. After waiting in a queue for TWO hours nothing was happening, no information given by staff members and no indication of what time I would be boarding. Seeing yet another ferry arriving I hoped this would be my chance of boarding only to be told by a very surly staff member that the ferry in question was only for goods NOT passengers. It is now 22.00 hours and I am still in Calais. My hopes of finding accommodation in Dover are gone and my itinerary has gone up in smoke. If the staff members had checked that everybody had the appropriate documentation BEFORE approaching the dock area these ridiculous hold ups could be avoided plus communication is a great way of helping people who have to face a long,arduous journey. I certainly would not recommend DFDS as sitting in the car in freezing temperatures for 6 hours is not my idea of a pleasant channel crossing.

Just Fantastic service

Reviewed on 2021-02-26T11:32:54

I have been using this company for a few years now. Over the last 18 months I have had to cancel a number of trips due to covid-19.I have asked for refunds these have been completed within a week. I have asked for booking to moved this is done within hours and credit also within hours. Nothing is to much trouble, The ferry's are comfortable the food on offer is of good quality and value. I could see no reason why anyone would want to travel with anybody else.

DFDS - great even when things are tough.

Reviewed on 2021-02-15T17:46:41

DFDS - great even when things get tough. For years DFDS was always the ferry company which did go the extra mile.Whether there was an issue while booking, correcting some details, putting us on earlier ferry when we arrived way too early, looking after us when there was issue with bad weather and ferries were delayed, staff onboard the ferries... the lot. Then Covid arrived. We travel frequently and had loads of trips already planned for the entire 2020. Most companies refused to understand / help and failed to offer credit or refund for non-refundable flights, accommodations... And to a degree, this makes sense, especially since for all of these companies this pandemic must be a huge blow into their revenues. But DFDS immediately responded positively and offered a voucher. Later when the voucher was about to expire, they extended the deadline. And even though our original booking was non-refundable, they offered free cancelation on the bookings made with the voucher. It was also clear that they did not had the details and voucher system ready at the beginning of the lockdowns, but this did not stopped them in looking after their customers and sorting that side later. Absolutely great service. We'll be using car ferries for many more years to come and DFDS just made the choice much easier. Thanks guys and see you as soon as this mess will be over.
