On the Cowes - Southampton section ALL the urinals in the gents toilet were blocked off, making for long queues for most of the trip.

Thank you for leaving feedback, I am sorry to hear there were issues with the toilets onboard your sailing, I have spoken to the Manager onboard and unfortunately they were blocked and the pipes had to be taken off to clear the blockage. I hope this does not deter you from travelling with us again.

A very efficient service, and can be relied upon even in quite severe weather conditions. It is always my preferred Solent crossing.

As an Islander, it is necessary for me to use a ferry service when visiting the mainland. I have used both Red Funnel and Wightlink services over the years and have concluded that although it is...

Thank you for the positive feedback. It's good to hear you enjoy all aspects of the crossing and that the hard work we put in is appreciated.

This crossing was good as ferry not too full. On occasions, it is overcrowded and very noisy, particularly when adults let their children run around unsupervised. How about making the upper lounge on...

We have recently changed our pet policy and the upstairs bar on the Red Eagle is now the indoor pet area when the weather is unpleasant. In our current refurbishment project we are looking at incorporating a new quiet zone in part of the accommodation, details on this can be found here http://www.redfunnel.co.uk/newlook.

On arriving to an earlier boat than booked for I asked if I could get on the earlier one. The guy in the booth told me if I paid an extra £4 and I could get on it. The boat was barely half full on...

Thank you for your feedback, the 1500 ferry is classed as a peak sailing; therefore the charge was due as you changed from an off-peak to a peak fare time. I know there was room for you to travel earlier, but it would have been unfair on the other passengers who had paid the higher fare, if we let you on without the upgrade.

Ferry timings and punctuality excellent. However crossing is not a great experience when the ferry is busy and if weather is poor as there is insufficient seating for all the passengers to travel...

Thank you for your comments, we are aware that at times indoor seating is at a premium as a large proportion can be found on the outer decks. We are currently undergoing a £2m refurbishment of the Red Falcon to increase the indoor seating by 55%, details can be found here https://www.redfunnel.co.uk/newlook. If this is received well by our customers, then the other two vessels will be refurbished later this year and next year.
We hope that this hasn't discouraged you from travelling with us and hope to see you again soon.

Thank you for the feedback; I am glad to see that this pricing issue has been resolved and you have left new feedback. We can not disregard this review, but if you are now satisfied I would be very grateful if you could either rescore or withdraw this feedback.

Most enjoyable trip - very busy but loaded on time and managed to get a seat for all of my party of 5.

Thank you for the feedback, we are aware that at times indoor seating is at an optimum. We are currently involved in a £2m refurbishment of the Red Falcon, this will see the indoor seating increase by 55%. If this is received well then we will look to do the same on our other two vessels.
We hope that you will look to travel again with us soon.
