Brittany Ferries Tips

Thanks for that Vic as we are on the Cap Finistere soon and its a long time to be buying cups of tea after being used to having facilities in our cabin on North Sea Ferries.

My tip for the St Malo night crossing is go straight to the restaurant upon boarding and dont even visit your cabin first if you want to be sure of a table

Or you can do as we have done David on the Bretagne, book a Commodore cabin and you get priority restaurant booking, tea and coffee facilities and breakfast in your cabin.😀 We are only doing it outgoing though, as we thought it would make a nice start to the holiday. A bit expensive both ways, so a standard one coming back, ☹️ and hope for the best in the restaurant. We will probably have eaten too much by then anyway.

Question Vic

Will the cabin 2 pin socket be ok to use to boil water without "blowing a fuse"?

Yes, should be OK for any reasonable load .....the cleaners use them for their big vacuums, and I'm sure they would have warning notices if really low rated. Almost certainly protected at 10A or so.

Enjoy the Bilbao crossing ...we always do. Is it the Sunday 2 nighter?  I  enjoy the full English breakfast best of all !  Been back 2 weeks now and wonder why we came back so soon .... three-and-a-half months was a bit too short

We used a travel kettle without a problem on the Cap Finistere last year with out a problem.   

By coincidence this morning I found the bill for the meal we had in the restaurant.  We enjoyed it. The cost was € 98.45 or £75.80 and exchange rate of €. = 77p that particular ship has sailed.
