Irish Ferries have redeemed themselves. Although the original ticket to France was 100 euro, because of the cancellation they 1. put me on the ferry to Pembroke in Wales (€127); 2. Gave me €100 for fuel; 3. have agreed to refund for my ferry from Portsmouth to St Malo (£175).
So I had a peaceful night in a cabin on the very impressive MV Pont Avon from Brittany Ferries. It was so calm it felt like we were docked all night.
P.S. My passport arrived from the Algerian embassy a few hours after I left home. So it has been couriered to Stefanie to bring to Malaga. It will come in handy.
