I hear that Superfast Ferries have changed the Ship on the Rosyth to Zeebrugge crossing, has anybody been on it and is it up to the standard of the ship it replaces

Hi Guys

Like you guys I live in the west of Scotland (Hamilton)I used Superfast the first 2 years it opened,yes it is expensive yes sailing times are rubbish but it was handy.I could accept until they stopped sailing every day.Again like you guys I found P & O at Hull and never looked back 1/2 the price (nearly) of Superfast better sailing times (getting into Zeebrugge in the morning ,not at lunch time when 1/2 the day is gone)only downside is that it cost an extra
