 IOM Ferry fm Liverpool - Rhubarb
Hi. We are taking a car on the IOM ferry from Liverpool tomorrow. The blurb says you can arrive up to 2hrs 30 mins before last check-in which is at 10:30 AM. We are only about 40 minutes drive away and I was thinking of leaving before 9 allowing a good margin to arrive by 10 at the latest. Can anyone who has used this ferry tell me if there's a need or any advantage in arriving earlier? Cheers - R

Don't know about the IOM service but I used to use the Stranraer - Belfast route a lot and provided they hadn't actually pulled the ramp up you'd get on if there was room and security were in a good mood.


Edit - Never tried it in the E-Class mind...

:-))

Don't know about Manx ferries but on CalMac first arrivals are usually first on and first into the cafeteria!!

Thanks both for your replies. Having conferred with our co-travellers, it seems we are now going earlier than first intended so we'll be there 'in plenty of time'. :-) Cheers & thanks again - R
