What are people's experiences/opinions on the Irish Ferries 'speedy exit' this year?
We're going on WBL later in the week. Parents were on it a few weeks back and said unloading took ages.
Wondering if speedy exit is worth adding and would make much of a difference. Looks like it's 'only €10', but I'd prefer to hold onto my tenner if I get feck all for it.
We used the speedy exit in April - At first I wasn't sure if it was going to be speedy as unlike the Oscar Wilde where cars are brought to the front of the ship we were sent upstairs and lined up there. However I still think it was quick about ten minutes after docking (not first one off) The only reason we chose speedy exit is because we'd have a heavy boot
coming back and I was nervous of the ramp to upstairs but on the WB Yeats it's more of a curve than a ramp so not too bad. 0 -

Thanks for the reply
After speaking to my mum again, apparently the i delay was actually in getting to the car deck, rather than getting off the boat. Think I'll hold on to the tenner and get s round of ice creams in France instead. Hopefully it'll all work out ok.0 -

This makes no sense at all. If the UK thought it would do well out of a No Deal Brexit i.e. straight into trading on WTO rules it would have walked on March 29th and not asked for the first of two extensions. Even Farage says No Deal isn't the preferred way to exit.average_runner wrote: »All the above is scare tactics and the powers of EU can't afford to make a mistake here.
I think you're reading too much of the Daily Mail yourself :P A No Deal Brexit means the UK immediately becomes a 3rd country and loses all it's free movement of goods and people into the EU. That means passport checks, vehicle checks, ton's of paperwork etc etc. That can only clog up traffic not speed it up.average_runner wrote: »In the event of the delays, they would be temporary and resolved very quickly like other countries outside the EU managed.
What other countries that are not in the Customs Union quickly resolved clogged up border crossing issues with the EU without having first spent many years negotiating some form of customs alignment or trade agreement? Even if there are some (which I doubt) the UK's circumstances will be considerably complicated by two things:-
1. The UK will have to agree to pay it's £39 Billion tab.
2. The UK will have to agree border mechanisms in Northern Ireland which comply with the Good Friday Agreement and don't result in any form of hard border or infrastructure on the border.
I'm sure they'll get that all sorted in jig time.
Enough OT Brexit talk.
