…they have no new builds planned, unlike some of their competition who have new and potentially different new concepts planned. And they have a two-tier fleet experience. If you go on the newer Pinnacle-class ships (Rotterdam, Nieuw Statendam, and Koningsdam) they are more contemporary, with modern bathrooms, and have a wider choice of venues and dining.

…dates or times. You talk £100 or more differences. Chose Your Ferry! Get a New One, Not a Tatty Old One. Some of the ferries are very old and tatty. There are some new ships that were introduced in 2011 (Spirit of Britain and Spirit of France) which are much more pleasant to travel on.
