I’ve not sailed on BF for eight years, so I might not be best if placed to compare the current service with the past. But all your comments/criticism relates to issues of service rather than the vessel sailed on.

Time on board BF ships is UK time and has been for many years. But I have a vague memory that in the late 70s, early 80s it was French time. Does anyone know if that was the case?

And if you’re right and going by previous delivery timescales the in service date of late March seems very generous. Hopefully if the commercial situation allows we’ll see her much sooner. The big unknown at the moment is what happens to Cap Finistere, she’s the same age as Mont st Michel so has plenty of life left, let’s hope BF can find somewhere for her that makes money.

I like the Armorique, never thought she was inferior, until they trashed her funnel. For those who criticise Galicia and her sisters, I remember being thrown about the channel in a force 7 on Cornouailles around 1982. The E Flexers are magnificent by comparison.

Covid 19 - the worlds first non binary disease?

It was, but due to the danger of internet band width being exceeded, it’s being kept quiet. 🤔

Haven’t sailed on Galicia yet so I may be mistaken, but isn’t the Azul restaurant waiter service?

Sorry Penlan, having read this thread and several other pieces of information on these ships I can’t find anywhere that says there will only be a cafeteria and no waiter service restaurant on these ships. Can you direct me to your source.

Would that be a first. Ferry built for route between ports A & B doesn't fit in port A.

Vehicle capacity on the low side for such large ships?

Wouldn’t fancy getting her on and off berth 2 in a gale. She has also taken 3 out of use with her mooring lines. Great images by the way.

I think she was only referring to Boris Johnson and Lord Frost. 😂

From a purely selfish point of view, it doesn’t matter as long as I’m not one of them. 😂

Agree 100%

Years old, not stone. 😂
