  • "I was very sick"

    Crew very pleasant and helpful. Seats comfortable. Good refreshments. Smooth car parking. However inevitably due to choppy seas there was a lot of sickness. The food that my friends ate looked delicious.

  • "Great trip"

    We where in the Isle of Man for the TT races and my friend had mobility problems and I changed our ferry trip from the Saturday to the Friday one that goes direct to Liverpool instead of Haysham Port. So glad I did as I had a little accident and was on crutches also. The staff on the ferry where great and helped us to our seats.

  • "Good trip"

    Our trip went very smoothly, boat was a bit late but that wasn't a problem for us. Onboard facilities were good, we watched a movie, had to tell some other rude passengers to stop talking so we could hear the movie, but that was not the fault of Steampacket.

  • "Steam Packet Fast Cat Liverpool to Isle of Man"

    The fast cat from Liverpool to Isle of Man was on time, very clean and very comfortable. There are lots of seats around the ship. Leaving the Isle of Man, the fast cat schedule had changed due to an engine problem. We were never informed of this by e-mail. Luckily we heard about it whilst on the island so we didn't waste the extra 45 mins delay. The sailing time was also extended so if you were catching a train it would have been a problem.

  • "Great crossing, no problems whatsoever."

    The ship was punctual, clean, and fast; and the crew were helpful, polite, and cheery despite the early hour of the crossing (which is the only downside to the crossing in my view: with a 7am departure and the check-in 60 minutes prior, the crossing is made somwhat inconvenient, particularly for visitors situated outside of Douglas).

  • "Reasonable, punctual, and fast."

    No problems whatsoever with the crossing: the ship was punctual, and the crew were friendly and helpful. The ship was clean and fast, the only possible downside I can think of is that the frequent security announcements (however necessary) momentarily interrupted the FIFA world cup game currently being shown on the many screens on board - in no way a big issue!

  • "Belfast to Isle of Mann and Isle of Mann to Liverpool"

    Fortunately very calm seas both journeys, but happened to be on same boat both trips which meant I could not watch a film on both trips as one cinema was "out of action" and in the other the same film was shown on both journeys - a bit annoying when you want to watch a film to take your mind of your usual sea sickness. Otherwise boat OK, food being served looked OK and everything clean and comfortable.
