Brittany Ferries

We are sailing with Brittany Ferries Portsmouth to Caern overnight and would like to know if the restaurants, bars and duty free will be open during our crossing - midnight til about 7 in the morning?

There is no duty free within the EU, but no doubt there will be some shopping available and also food and drink is likely to be available - they make too much money on these things not to have something open. Anyone who has made a sailing at the time you mention will tell you for certain - but the best way to find out is by phoning the ferry company themselves quoting the precise sailing.

thanks for your quick answer and yes i understand there is no duty free as such within eu. im not that bothered to be honest so wont worry about phoning, just thought there may be someone on here that has done it and can solve our 'wondering'!

Yes, everything you expect to be open will be. When I was a student many years ago we used to work on the Fishguard-Rosslare ferries in the holidays and EVERYTHING was open 24/7. Sometimes we had to shut the odd bar for 20 mins or so for re-stocking but otherwise it will all be open so you can spend your money.
