P&O Ferries (P&O)

The first time I was on a P&O ferry was a couple of days ago, I got a small and fast ferry over to Cairnryan, Scotland. And a Large and Slow ferry back to Larne, Northern Ireland. I will write a review on them both.

P&O Smaller Ferry...
The ferry was designed for cars just, It was a smaller ferry and it was faster ferry! It had three decks of cars on it, and when you got onto the ferry it had two decks to it and a Smoking Area outside. The First deck had a shop and some chairs. On the second deck there was alot more chairs, and there was a food shop where you could buy Chicken, Roast Potatoes and many other foods. On North of the boat there is a door that leads you to a small place outside just infront of the Cabin where the captin of the boat was, This was where everyone smoked at. In the shop on the first deck there was Perfum, After Shave, Books and many other products but this shop was very dear and so was the Food canteen. The boat was fast but it was very rocky, But it gets you from Larne to Cairnryan in around One Hour. So Overall this is a very good boat to travel on if you want to get to Scotland quick. The only disadvantage was that there is No Lorries on this boat so the Lorry Drivers had to get the bigger boat!

P&O Larger Ferry...
It was a ferry designed for Lorries, It had a lower deck for large lorries and a upper deck for Lorries and cars. The decks fitted around 100 lorries and cars. When you got onto the boat there was only one large deck, And there was a Truckers lounge but I never seen it, But I have heard that they get there own canteen etc. But on the main deck there was a Cinema, Quiet room, Childrens room, Gambling room, Hot food Canteen, Sandwhich bar and a Shop. I wasn't in the Cinema so I don't know what was on. But in the Cinema and Quiet room you were not allowed Mobile phones. In the childrens room there was two rows of chairs and a TV, Wall E was on the TV. The Quiet room was for reading or just taking some time to yourself. The Gambling room had gambling machines just in it, Around ten Gambling machines. The Hot food canteen sold foods like Chips and Gravy, Mushy peas and many other foods. I had Chips and Gravy and it cost me £1.99! There were comfortable chairs at the Canteen and everywhere over the boat. The sandwhich bar obiously sold Sandwhiches! The shop sold P&O products e.g. P&O toy boats and P&O eatable Rock, They also sold Books, Aftershave, Perfume and many other products. On the two sides of the boat there were decks that you could see the sea and they where the smoking areas on the boat. Overall This boat was a excellent boat, it took two hours to get home to Larne, Northern Ireland. And the journey was very calm.

Overall...
The two boats where excellent to travel on, The boat cost the same. I Drive a Vauxhall Vectra 1.9 five door and they boat had enough room it!It cost around £65. There is secuirty checks before you get on the boat so the boats are safe. I really enjoyed travelling on the P&O ferries and I will be again when I go back to the Mainland or Europe. I might even order for a Cruise next year. I would recommend anyone Lorry Drivers or Car/Van/Motorcyclist drivers to go on the P&O Ferries if you have to go over seas.

Summary: Excellent ferries, 100% Satisfactory
