I Have spent a rainy afternoon planning a trip to Edinburgh via Pembroke and Galway bay. As I have zero experience of Irish sea ferry crossings and their costs I thought I would throw a couple of questions out to those that have the experience.
Firstly am I likely to better the prices below?
Secondly what are the onboard services like on these crossings?

That trip sounds interesting. A jaunt round Ireland for a couple of weeks then across to scotland for another two or three weeks before heading back to dorset & home. Never been to either Ireland or Scotland. For those who have done it would July or August be the best time to go for the weather?

My choice would be Holyhead to Dunlaoghaire dont know prices but the crossing takes only 99 minutes.
We have a Bankholiday in May. and for the last nine years has been fine and sunny because we go to Kerry every year at that time. Might not be fine next year aido

We always bring the sun with us, so get your shades ready
The Fishguard ferry is because we want to spend some time at St Davids before we cross the water and the Belfast ferry is because we have to pick up Clare from Edinburgh uni on our return.

I thought so as well, beats the hell out of trawling up the M5/M6
Now if I could just find some clever person to comment on the crossing prices it would be great.
Sods law says that soon as I book the tickets someone will find them cheaper elsewhere.
We did this trip in April, staying at Fresh Water East, CC site, the night before the crossing from Fishguard to Rosslare.

Both ferry crossings were about 3.5 hour s, with clean catering facilities on both. Apparently there is a choice of a slow or fast ferry, depending upon the season.
We contacted these people for some advice/literature. See
