As the saying goes. “ you can please some of the people all the time, you can please all the people some of the time, but you’re never going to please all the people all the time”
Me & the OH were very pleased, so this is what I saw, heard and tasted, and others will have their own views.
Arrived about midday at So’ton as noticed on motorway sign. Easy parking, baggage taken away by van, then a stroll to terminal building. No queues in either line, paper work was already completed prior to check-in, all handed over, next thing seapass in hand and told to board. Bucks fizz or Champers(?) when boarded, most people just milling around chatting etc, it couldn’t have been no more than half hour when an announcement was made that state rooms were ready.
