LD Lines

have been on the norman arrow twice now - going again on Thurs 16th and returning two weeks later, its a great ship that is true!

well just booked to travel on the norman arrow.....leave at 4.15am friday the 17th july 2009....so hopefully when i get back i can comment on what it was like

Why is the staff from england, on the Norman arrow? They have no other solution. On a catamaran you can not provide your staff of board and lodging. But they can do it with their ordinary Ferrys. Some people work 4 or 5 months

From what I heard the majority of the crew is British ex speed ferries, although a few are Portugese. I prefer ships with British or French crew but hope that the route is a success as the Benefits to Boulogne could be massive.

The captain on the Norman Spirit is from England. The other staff is not usually British or French.

The crew is British.

This is not a boat, ferry. What an ugly thing that will consume too much. Why should it be always faster? Just give me the Norman Spirit (Prins Filip). Who will work on this boat, people from France or England? That will probably not be true. Labor costs must be reduced. This is not a French company in my eyes. Cheats. There is no place for LD lines on the channel. Take an example to Seafrance, P&O, Brittany Ferries. They have difficultys. But they do it with their own people.
