i beg to differ Helen i agree on some of you points but the old racket company answered your letters and 10 yrs ago even sent me a comp sailing which i got to the MGP free. Also Helen my 1st trip to the IOM was 1959 midnight sailing and a enthusiast said' i have put up with these ferries 40 years never again' so there you go Helen its ok when you get there but how the hell irish ferries turn vesels around has to be seen to be believed when it took 1hr for the baggage to be brought to the check-in at lpool? their excuse LOW TIDE .
