  I like how all of these jamokes are complaining about the boat being old and rundown. It's a government ferry people, it should get you from point A to point B. Frig, don't subscribe to the Marine Atlantic model and start extracting one of our kidneys every time we want to cross - or heck, maybe you people love paying hundreds upon hundreds of dollars to use ferries. Maybe it's worth hundred of dollars to sit in a shiny new boat for 70 minutes. I wish I had money to throw away like you all apparently do.

  It's an experience that certainly is interesting if you've never done it before. You should book ahead of time to reserve a spot and arrive with suitable time to get lined up or lose your place in line (or even your spot). The parking in the ferry is very tight and it makes sense since they get cars and full trucks on there with trailers like Tetris masters. The ride can get a bit bumpy if the waters are right so bring some Gravol just in case. The food on the ship is not great but if you're hungry, it'll do in a pinch. The gift shop has the biggest Labradorite selection I saw during the trip. The ship itself is dated and old but it still works so that's fine by me. It's big and roomy enough that I can get away from the other people who I have to share space with. Pets are required to stay in the vehicles (for obvious reasons) so be sure that it's something they can tolerate.

  Not a bad ferry ride that takes you from Newfoundland to Labrador and back again. There is a cafeteria on board that serves fast food. Not bad. The service is fairly efficient, since the ride is only 1.5 hours.

  The person at the front desk in St. Barbe was very ignorant and not very polite.... customers shouldn't be talked to like children . I wasn't complaining or anything just buying my ticket .....

  We got stranded on the Labrador side on August 21st when the ferry broke down on the Newfoundland side. We and many other people had to scramble to find hotels and cancel other reservations. The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 is that this morning, the ticket agents went in a logical sequence to accommodate the people who got screwed yesterday, and we got on the next crossing, only 21.5 hours behind schedule. The lesson I learned is to book reservations far in advance -- that's how we got a good spot in the line.
