点评:So I had a week off. I wanted to do something but the rest of the family were working or in school/ college...
I decided to go on a trip via the Brittany Ferry Santoña and travel from Rosslare to Bilbao and back.
I like travelling by ferry. Once aboard, and in your cabin , it is like being checked in in a hotel room.
The trip started a little late due to weather, but the arrival time was unaffected. As a walk on passenger when we arrived in Spain we were transported from the Ferry in Bilbao to customs (approx 13:30).
The bus then collected us from customs and transported us to central Bilbao, and arrived there at about 14:22. There was a return bus from there at 16:30 for the 18:00 departure. The 'shuttle bus' to and from the ferry was arranged by Brittany Ferries and was free.
The Irish Rail staff in Rosslare Harbour were excellent. The staff on board the Santoña were also excellent, as we're the staff at Bilbao port.
I did not have access to the "C-Club" premium lounge so I can't comment on it's value.
The cabin was great with two three pin plug sockets, two ' continental ' two pin sockets, and four usb charging sockets.
The cabin also had a television, but for the 26 hour trip I had no need for television. Others and families may find that useful.
The food on board, I enjoyed. I did hear some people complain about the food, but in my experience of ferries (24 times Ireland /France 2 times Ireland/Spain) I have no complaints.
If having a family party, or friends reunion, and looking for a few days away I would highly recommend this trip from Rosslare to Bilbao and back.

我决定乘坐布列塔尼渡轮公司的“桑托尼亚号”从罗斯莱尔前往毕尔巴鄂,然后再返回。
我喜欢坐渡轮旅行。一旦登上渡轮,进入自己的船舱,感觉就像入住酒店一样。
由于天气原因,旅程稍稍晚了些,但到达时间并未受到影响。作为步行乘客,我们抵达西班牙后,大约在下午1点30分左右,从毕尔巴鄂的渡轮码头被送到海关。
之后,巴士从海关接我们前往毕尔巴鄂市中心,大约在下午2点22分到达。下午4点30分有一班巴士从那里出发,接回下午6点出发的渡轮。往返渡轮码头的“接驳巴士”由布列塔尼渡轮公司安排,而且是免费的。
罗斯莱尔港的爱尔兰铁路工作人员非常出色。桑托尼亚号上的工作人员也同样出色,就像毕尔巴鄂港的工作人员一样。
我没有机会使用“C-Club”高级休息室,所以无法评价它的价值。
客舱很棒,配备两个三孔插座、两个欧式两孔插座和四个USB充电插座。
客舱里还有一台电视,但26小时的航程中我完全用不到电视。不过,其他人或家庭可能会觉得电视很实用。
我很喜欢船上的食物。我确实听到有人抱怨食物,但根据我乘坐渡轮的经验(24次往返爱尔兰/法国,2次往返爱尔兰/西班牙),我没有任何不满。
如果您要举办家庭聚会或朋友聚会,并想找个地方放松几天,我强烈推荐这条从罗斯莱尔到毕尔巴鄂的往返航线。
