I am driving to UK with my wife and kids later this month. I haven't been on a ferry since the old B & i days in the 80's. Who is the best company to travel with?

I am not necessarily looking for the quickest or indeed the cheapest but I want the best 'experience'. Of course, if the best is also the least expensive and fastest, then I will be happier.

Thanks in advance.
 
Best value is probably Norfolk Line to Birkenhead but its a 6-7 hr crossing although the shipmis very comfortable. Both Stena Line and Irish Ferries have High Speed services to Holyhead (about 1hr 45mins) and their fares are almost identical.
 
Travelled over and back 3 times this year with Stena. Ship was clean, staff polite, food expensive but very good. Had films showing on the way over - evening sailing, premiership match on the way back - lunchtime sailing. Quick to load and offload. Great experience and reasonably priced.
 
Irish Ferries fast cat is the line we always take when we are going over to Ireland. (Holyhead -Dublin)
