Arrived quite early and instead of making us wait just loaded us straight on the next ferry. When you get on the ferry seems to have thought about everything even though only a short crossing. Dog friendly zones, teen zone, a Greggs, Costa, snacks and selection of alcoholic beverages. Toilets immaculate. Seating areas well thought out. Really impressed. Apart from the rude crappy service from Costa. Abrupt, stroppy and not helpful. When they finished their overall service they proceeded to stand and have a proper go at a member of the team over the rota or something. Not on. It was a case of "whoa" who shot your cat. Rude mares. Would have been 5* for all the other parts Costa dragged it down to 3*. Disembarking was super quick easy and no dramas. Big thumbs up and thanks!

Thr girlfriend and I had done the hovercraft, which was fun and the fastest crossing as a passenger On our weekend trip this weekend, we took the car and chose the Portsmouth to Fishbourne route as it's the shorter of the car ferry journeys (Red Funnel leave from Southampton) The route is well signposted from the M27 and we encountered no traffic, coming down for the 8pm ferry on a Friday night. Nice to see that, especially as it was the weekend of the IOW round the island race On arrival, we were directed to a lane to wait for the ferry. There was no mention of the 45 minute delay we then noticed on the large dot matrix sign. The time for the next ferry was also wrong as it was for 19.30 and we arrived at 19.45. There were no announcements or explanations about the delay but one of the marshalls we spoke to at least tried to be helpful but perhaps, they could try and keep their customers informed a bit better We popped into Greggs, located in the car park area, for a little nibble. There's also a Costa Coffee available The other slight annoyance was the lack of firm marshalling when the time came to board. There wasn't enough vigilance to stop some naughty cars from cutting in line ahead of other cars which had arrived before them The journey itself was pleasant enough with some light refreshments available though we chose to enjoy the lovely sun-dappled views of the Solent from the outdoor promenade deck Incidentally, the 3rd way to cross over is by catamaran to Ryde

It must be noted that there are several train stations in Portsmouth so it is essential that you know which one you need to get off at. Not all of the trains go as far Portsmouth Harbour Station so it may be necessary to change at Portsmouth and Southsea station. This train station is located next to the main bus station, as well as the Gosport ferry and the FastCat which goes to the Isle of Wight. This makes it handy for onward travel. This station has good facilities such as booking office, cafe, shop and toilets.

The staff are helpful and very friendly. The location is good as you can nip across to Portsmouth on a ferry (very frequent) and you're bang in the middle of the historic dockyard Three stars however for a really big problem: the visitors berths are right in front of the Marina entrance and all the cross channel ferries/ships etc. that go past most of the way through the night produce a spectacular amount of wash which is pretty uncomfortable. Hence I would recommend Gosport Marina which from memory doesn't have that issue.

You'll get to see amazing historic ships, going back over 500 years of of Royal Navy history. HMS Victory: The Royal Navy's flagship that led the important Battle of Trafalgar, which the French Navy was put to shame during Napoleon's destructive wars. Arguably the most famous warship in British history. It's barely holding together as much maintenance and restoration ongoing work continues, but you still can decks and learn about life onboard during the Georgian era. The Mary Rose: King Henry VIII's flagship, which sank in 1545 and was famously salvaged in 1982. The museum showcases the preserved half hull and thousands of artifacts recovered from the wreck, offering a unique glimpse into 16th-century sailor life. Be sure to watch the 4D video! HMS Warrior: was the world's first iron-hulled, armored warship, built in 1860. Its still incredibly well preserved and structurally sound...as it never saw a single battle! Still very cool seeing how modern it felt compared to the older ships. £46/$62 3 Attraction Ticket: as fun this all was, it is really expensive for what you get, so minus one for that.
