The website is fairly easy to navigate, there are a couple of things (and I find its always the way) when booking with a pet... Please can someone take time to say what the difference / options are... See more

I was really pained when my frozen Chicken gotten from Manchester for my personal use were all declared unfit and were all collected from me.
The website is easy to navigate. There’s a good choice of sailings and prices and suitcases are free!! There’s also different levels of seating and cabins (at a cost) available that are clearly shown on the website.
Terms and conditions are not clear. They are written in a pop up window that is too large for a phone screen, and cannot be reduced, so you cannot read them. You have to agree in order to move on. I had no idea that the money I was paying was a) only a deposit, b) non refundable, and c) i still have no idea how much the ferry will be other than it will be dearer than 2025 IOM TT prices.
Clunky website threw me out 4 times before I actually secured the booking and paid for it . Just plain annoying. At the 3rd time I turned off my pc and said “sod it , I’m just not going to go to the UK then” . Get a grip Steampacket .
I don’t like all the details of every passenger you have to put in every single time! It won’t save your kids details. Get an app
Also start taking Amex.
It was easy and straightforward to book. No problem at all.
The web site is very easy to place a booking and easy to navigate to choose the sailings to suit what I wanted.
I’m a frequent traveler and an Executive Club Member, I think every single person involved with the Steam Packet deserves a pat on the back for the excellent service which you all provide.
Thank you.
The simplicity of the booking system which aids the speed of booking. Just one observation, could you put the QR code on the front page to save having to print 2 pages. This used to be the case.
Easy to book, clear instructions, the whole process from start to finish was perfect!
The manxman was luxurious and the manananan was so fast and the sea was calm!
Very easy to book the trip and looking forward to journeying to the beautiful island again.
the friendliness and help from a girl on the phone desk called Ellie - she was excellent
Would have liked more information online about parking arrangements at Heysham port. When I phoned staff were very helpful.
Easy to navigate on line booking , also if you call to book the staff on the phone are polite and efficient.
