An update on Brittany Ferries' economie services...
We were mildly content with the Etretat, there's a bit 1970s formica feel about the ship but the cabins are spacious with wide gaps between the beds. The beds are also wide but with an annoying lip that digs into your legs when sitting putting your shoes on. Small shop, cinema, great food (much better than Cap Finistere and comparable to Pont Aven). Would use it again for the savings involved.
And this last trip we came back on the new (to Brittany) Baie de Seine economie service. Spacious cabins and wide beds, absolutely brilliant and reasonably priced food—both times I felt it necessary to congratulate the chefs. No cinema but I had films on my Macbook. This is now my favourite low-cost service.
In terms of overall enjoyment my preferences are Pont Aven, then Baie de Seine, Etretat, Cap Finistere.
And then we saved a bit more with our Club Voyage discount.
