点评:We travelled to France by ferry with our dog and paid extra for a pet-friendly cabin. The cabin itself was clean, comfortable, and had proper beds, so no complaints there.
However, the designated dog relief area was extremely small and located in what felt like an unsafe spot. Considering the high extra fees for pet-friendly cabins (£85+ on top of a passenger ticket that costs around €35), I expected much better facilities for pets. It honestly felt like the bare minimum was provided simply because pet owners have no other option.
If you choose not to book a cabin, your dog must either stay in the vehicle—which is unrealistic for a 3-hour crossing since cars are inaccessible and not running, meaning no air conditioning—or be left in the kennel area. Personally, I don’t think leaving a dog in a small cage in an unfamiliar environment is ideal either.
We were happy to pay the extra cost because having our dog with us on holiday is worth it, but I really think the ferry’s pet policies and facilities could be improved. Providing a cabin is appreciated, but limiting dogs to such a tiny toilet area does not feel fair and could be much better thought out.
翻译:我们带着狗狗乘渡轮去法国,并额外付费预订了宠物友好型船舱。船舱本身干净舒适,床铺也很好,这方面没什么可抱怨的。
然而,指定的狗狗活动区非常小,而且位置感觉不太安全。考虑到宠物友好型船舱的高昂额外费用(在约35欧元的乘客船票基础上还要额外支付85英镑以上),我原本期待更好的宠物设施。说实话,感觉他们提供的只是最基本的设施,因为宠物主人别无选择。
如果您选择不预订船舱,您的狗狗要么必须待在车里——但考虑到航程长达3小时,车辆无法进入且无法启动,也就没有空调,这显然不现实——要么就只能待在犬舍里。就我个人而言,我觉得把狗狗留在陌生环境的小笼子里也不是个好主意。
我们很乐意支付额外的费用,因为带狗狗一起度假很值得,但我真的觉得渡轮的宠物政策和设施还有改进的空间。提供宠物舱固然很好,但把狗狗限制在那么小的卫生间区域感觉不太公平,应该考虑得更周全一些。
