Yes i hope so as well....sailings last few weeks were hit and miss....i believe the online bookings for summer 2020 are open on Wednesday 23/10/19.... I'll take photos of both ships and upload when home...

Speaking of 2020 bookings I've booked Cork Roscoff last week out Monday 30th June on Kerry and back Friday 10th July on Pont Aven. There's been a big increase in the deposit. Had to pay 50% non refundable deposit  :(
Seems they are still having big problems with speculative bookings.  People booking multiple trips only to cancel this they don't want at a later date.  Its been a big issue for them historically I believe.

You mean that people were making a few bookings and were were prepared to lie the loss on those they eventually decided not to use?

Are you glad to be getting off because of a bad crossing or just the time spent onboard?

Cladyman

Can't blame ship this time as I see uk Spain sailing cancelled due to weather too.

Like others on here was interested to hear how you got on, will have to wait.

Had text & emails fro BF Thursday afternoon to say Pont Aven sailing 1500 Friday (not 2030). Did some quick last minute shopping, and checked out of holiday accommodation early Friday. En route more info from BF to say now sailing even earlier and we did at 1400 French time. Not too bad a crossing as we ran ahead of the storm. A bit bumpy up until midnight, but docked in Ringaskiddy at 0230. We got a good night's sleep as embarkation didn't start until 0800. Home early. Didn't notice until later that those on IF Epsilon not so lucky. She sailed at 1630 Friday but anchored of Sidmouth until 0800 Saturday and not expected Dublin until 0800 on Sunday.
