“hi everyone.... i booked a 3 day promo trip to france.
BUT .... i asked them can i change my outbound date and still return on the promo return as planned. As i wanted to go a day earlier .. after 3 days they said i cant as i would have to cancel the return aswell even though i was coming back on that ferry.. i even said i would pay the difference. so really unhappy to them saying i would have to pay twice for the same return eerrrrrrrrrr”
“This was originally due at 02:45am. We received a text at 19:45 to advise of a delay.
No further communication received since.
We arrived at Pembroke at 2:45 and had to wait passed 4:30, yet text said last check in was at 4:30, for the people who had been sat in the booth for a good 40-50 mins quite literally with their feet on the desk. Again no communication.
We were then left in our vehicles with not a word from any staff and no updates to when we may depart. We are travelling with 2 dogs and didn’t know when/if to feed them/walk them etc.
We only got to board at gone 8am. No staff on board with any hint of customer service to raise concerns to.
Not only was the ship NOT the one that was on our booking confirmation I was very unhappy to have to leave my car and dogs almost outside to the elements.
I’m just glad Stenna Lines are operating for the return journey.
Sent 2 emails and no contact number and no reply - Will have to probably do indemnity claim due to lack of response etc”
“I booked a ticket and paid through without insurance because I knew I am going at this time. But that’s not the point, the application add an other ticket when I was looking before, it saved it and put it through the booking I did. I paid for the unwanted ticket £165 and the customer service told me they can’t refund me. The app is simple but DOUBLE CHECK before you paid et get fooled like me.”
“Very bad company it’s a scam after a few minutes I tried to reschedule the trip the price was kept on increasing very bad company o will never have to do with them again ever in my life and breathe suggest this company to my friends and family”
“Made a booking, paid an insurance in case of cancellation or amendment. Changed the date, then was asked for an extra £51.75. I went direct to the ferry company and was given a price approximately the same minus the £51.75! What’s the point of the insurance?”
“No phone number to three days to respond to my email I gave them a wrong email address but but corrected it my sending the correct email address but took them 3 days to respond. Don’t give someone your money if you can’t communicate with them. I will never use them again.”

Dear Sir/Madan,
To best honest I’m very disappointed with this situation, as you can see in my Attachment document, I booked my trip in 17 August 2023 and then suddenly my trip got cancel due to online technical issue and unable to confirm the booking. I already speak with few of Your CS at first he said the money will be refunded 3-5 days and I wait for 1 weeks and I checked with my bank account and there’s not I got from you, 2nd CS says you guys haven’t sent the money and I have to wait for another 10 days and until now which I wait for almost 1 month and half, I haven’t get any refund from you ( I already Checked to my bank account, they haven’t get anything from you ) does anyone can help me to refund the money. I really need it for support my family.
Please respond.Thank you very much”

“we booked our return ticket for Las Palmas - Tenerife connection. The service provider was ARMAS. According to the given port location by Directferries, we could not find the ferry location though we were in the port 1h before departure. We had to walk to few locations without success. When we were on the return journey, we realized that there is a shuttle service from city to ferry in Las Palmas. Such information needs to be provided to customer while buying the ticket.
So, for the outbound journey, we had to buy another ticket, from another service, costing another Euro 100.
When we informed this situation to Directferry after our journey. They said that we should have contacted the service provider. If Directferry sales tickets, they should take the responsibility to provide the correct location to customers. It is not understandable, why they mentioned to contact service provider. Based on this experience, I will never buy ticket through Directferry, but first search the local ferry operators, and get the ticket and other relevant information. Also, we found that the other operator provides a good customer service compared to the one with Directferry.”
“shocking experience trying to amend a booking with Direct Ferries for which I had paid an additional £30 to have the right to cancel. It was a complete rip off, and Direct Ferries were unhelpful - their customer service centre use email, so they deliberately ruin your holiday by making trying to change anything as drawn out and painful as possible
My advice - go directly to the ferry operator - as well as it being cheaper, it would be difficult ot get worse service!”
