Oscar Wilde

"Better than Celtic, cheaper than Brittany!"

Reviewed 03 April 2012 by Garth

I recently travelled on the Ireland France route from Cherbourg to Rosslare with Irish Ferries by car with my partner. I chose them because i didn't want to pay the price of travelling with Brittany Ferries and am not a big lover of the Celtic Link service so this was the ideal choice for us. We ate in the Berneval restaurant and the food was up to a good standard. We booked a 2 berth 4 star cabin which was good too with comfortable beds, though a shame it wasn't a double bed. Staff were helpful and friendly and the ferry facilities were very good and wouldn't hesitate in recommending the Oscar Wilde.
