New arrangements at Portsmouth for Isle of Wight ferries are fantastic. Boarding and disembarking with split levels is super efficient. Waiting at Portsmouth for the ferry is a joy with a swish new food outlet with tables and chairs in the sunshine overlooking the harbour so you can see the ferry arriving . Marvellous. On board plenty of comfortable seating , food and drink and sun decks if you fancy some bracing sea air......and I like the free glossy magazine packed with information about the Island and it's attractions. What a fabulous way to start your break.
