    They're expensive, nearly double what I paid this time last year for my August holiday

    2 hours off docking in Cork from Roscoff on the Armorique. Captain said Force 7 winds and 5m swells. We all went to bed after we set sail. It was a long night for me and the misses didn't sleep much. Thankfully the kids are still asleep I got them nausicalm sirop in a chemist in France and seems to have done the trick.

    For anyone that books flexi too make sure you book the out going and return journey separately because if you book it as a return journey once you complete the outgoing leg it makes the flexi for return leg redundant.

    Looking forward to getting to dry land now and hopefully not having sea legs.

    Not with Stena, I had to cancel my return leg and there were no issues.

    Yes looking at a one way return in the second week of July and they are €250 to €350 more expensive than Brittany on Cherbourg to Rosslare. That's with a 20% off that seems to be deducted once you have selected everything.

    Yeah the Yeats was doing a bit of rocking and rolling the night before last

    Kids slept grand, but I hardly slept a wink and the missus was sick and decided to sit upstairs for most of the night. Pretty sure it was down to the pizza we shared as much as sea sickness

    I actually found the bigger waves a bit easier because they're slower. It was choppy in the English channel and that was definitely worse

    Will definitely get the anti nausea meds next time, although it was more the noise and motion keeping me awake

    It didn't help that the boat stank of armpits and farts as well 😷

    we are travelling Friday night and Saturday morning looks rough. I might check out that syrup as I don’t think I’ll get one boy to swallow a tablet.

    IF shocking expensive. It appears Brittany ferries are even worse???

    Pushing people towards alternative package or flying holidays. Sad.

    Stena line withdrawing the Rosslare Cherbourg route so it must have allowed the other 2 to pump the prices up.

    We left it late (last November) to book Rosslare to Bilbao and back Cherbourg to Dublin, travelling out middle of July and back August bank holiday weekend this year.

    Looking at those times now for next summer and it's working out nearly €600 cheaper for me compared to this year!!
