A passenger was quite shocked when they checked their matress and less than impressed with the crew response. Surely things like this damage the core BF brand?http://www.toutsweet.net/2018/07/not-the-latest-tracey-emin-but.php

Christophe Mathieu in particular is publicly very anti-brexit and never misses an opportunity to rant about it on twitter for example. The article notably doesn’t mention that BF have had a problem with people making double bookings and cancelling at the last moment, which they have addressed by requiring a 20% deposit (rather than a flat fee) at the time of booking. That in itself could conceivably put future bookings down on previous years as people are less likely to book two crossings in advance to cancel one at a later date! It’s hard to tell how much of this decline is Brexit related and how much is due to other factors - I suspect BF themselves don’t even really know!
