moorgate Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Not sure what you want to know. Two companies run ferries back from Le Havre. Both are similar ships - drive on at the stern, do a U turn inside and then off at the stern again when you arrive at Portsmouth. Not a big problem.

agzy Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 the crew are well used to dealing with all manner of vehicles and the U turn system is widely used and I've never found it a problem,just do what they ask you to do. Good luck. Quote CARPE DIEM While we're talking, envious time is fleeing: pluck the day, put no trust in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladydode100 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 They told us we will be reversing off, not that we have a problem reversing usually, do they put cars on first so vans are not up the front too much? just asking never done it before. Thanks Dode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladydode100 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Just to update on this subject, you were absolutely correct on the drive on and turn around system, no idea what the booking clerk was talking about, this was the info she gave me when booking, which was incorrect, thanks everyone for the advice.
