Ferry From Belfast

[markyboyblue]

I am travelling to and from Belfast next week. I am flying over and picking up a new company van then getting the ferry back. There are 2 routes, either to Liverpool which takes 8 hours or to Stranraer which takes 2 hours but then a long drive back to Manchester.

Has anyone done these before and which do you reckon is best?

Go to Liverpool and kick back and relax on the ferry rather than having to drive across the fucking country.

I guess that depends who's time it is that he's relaxing in?

Last time I went on a ferry was to Isle of Man to watch city in 1994. Are the ferries scabby or are they ok these days?

It's a 4 hour drive from Stranraer and that's if you get a clear run. Unless you really hate sailing it makes more sense to go to Liverpool.

My own time either way as I wont be leaving until Friday afternoon.

I have never seen a well appointed one and I have been on a fair few.

The Irish Ferries ones are lovely, haven't been on Stena Line in years so I couldn't tell you.

I'd drive then, so I'd be home sooner, but I don't mind driving

Drive Belfast to Dublin... then boat to Holyhead. Easiest and Cheapest way to do it.... done it loads of times... boat is great... couple of hours home from Holyhead. Stranraer is a nightmare if the sea is rough. Put you on the slow boat...
