This review relates to Irish Ferries W.B. Yeats, the new (May 2019) ship sailing Dublin-Cherbourg.

This ship is brand new. It is advertised as luxurious but falls far short of this. It lacks comfortable, pleasant areas to relax. All the seating is functional. It's more like an airport terminal than a cruise ship. Food choices are limited and expensive. (Dinner in the restaurant is 59.) The play area for children is tiny. There are fewer choices of places to eat or drink than there were on the old Oscar Wilde.

It's not all bad. Cabins are comfortable with surprisingly good pillows and mattresses. There are lots of power points throughout the ship (continental style). It is quiet and, at least for the two crossings I experienced, smooth.

Overall, this ship is a step backwards compared to its predecessor, the Oscar Wilde. Given the hype and the expectation, the W. B. Yeats is a dissappointment.
