Condor Ferries

Further to my first review we now have Condors first response from their General Manager in answer to the article in the Guernsey Press which I attach here. Disabled tourist left upset after ferry 'humiliation'By Jess Stevenson A DISABLED man has described his humiliation after Condor staff refused to help him board a boat to Guernsey. **** ********(pictured), who struggles to walk more than 50 metres at a time, was repeatedly refused help to board the boat in Jersey after having asked for wheelchair assistance. The 63-year-old from Kingston-upon-Hull had been on a day trip to that island. He was on his way back to Guernsey, ...  Read the complete review

We decided to visit jersey while staying at weymouth. I decided to make sure this was possible by looking up the times for weymouth to jersey on condors website. From this we saw that thursay gave us the most time in jersey. However this meant the ferry set off at 6am and didnt arrive back til midnight! This was going to be a long day. With the time and day sorted I booked the tickets via the website. This was very easy to do. Upon arrival to the ferry terminal we parked in the car park opposite the office. However the signs in the car park were confusing and we had to ask a steward what we should do. We then made our way into the arrivals suite (we ...  Read the complete review

What an amazing journey. Well where do I start. Crossing Time advertised an amazing 3 hours 25 minutes. Actual time 5 hours there and 5 hours back, nothing to do with the weather, but the fact that there was only 3 engines working. Apparently this has been like this for years from what I can glean from other websites and the grumpy staff. Boarding the vehicle was more like organised chaos at both ends but more so the Jersey end where the layout of the embarking and disembarking has to be seen to be believed. You have to criss -cross aside from one part to another,each row of cars keep the other one waiting not a good system when you are trying to board. ...  Read the complete review

We were really impressed with Condor Ferries. Very competitive price and convenient crossing times. Travelled from Poole to St Malo August mid week and the ferry wasn't full. On time outward, but bad weather coming back caused 2hrs delay. Don't pay extra for the reclinging seats unless you think you'll want to sleep. The normal seating is all allocated, has much more natural light (and, if you're by a window, good views) and there are tables for kids to do colouring etc. The air conditioning is ferocious - take plenty of warm layers or a blanket / duvet if you've got one with you! (When we asked why we were told that fewer people were sick if the ferry was kept ...  Read the complete review

After deciding to visit Jersey, we thought it would be easier to have our own car to explore the island. Therefore we needed to book a ferry as near as possible from our home, which would be Weymouth. Friends of ours had used the Condor Express operated by Condor Ferries which operates from Weymouth and Poole and they said it was fairly quick, so after obtaining a reasonable quote (£370 for the car + 5) so we decided to book. A few days later the tickets arrived, no problem, all in order, times all correct. Finally the day came for our trip, all excited we arrived at the port with plenty of time, as they ask you to be there an hour before the departure. ...  Read the complete review
