Yes Brit passport. Its the final control check as you board the ship, so Spanish I assume?
Ah ok, similar to Eurotunnel then when both border controls are at the departure port
Oops. Its going to happen.
I had heard that and wasn't sure, but I was specifically asked the question when I handed over my passport. I'm assuming everyone else with British passports were asked the same. The boarding process certainly took longer than I remember it used to.
To my knowledge there is only spanish border officials. the only place you will find British on foreign soil, or french on uk soil, is at the ports & euro tunnel.Ah ok, similar to Eurotunnel then when both border controls are at the departure port
Thought the ship was rubbish compared to Pont Aven..Spanish customs stamp your passport before you leave the port..BUSBY.I had heard that and wasn't sure, but I was specifically asked the question when I handed over my passport. I'm assuming everyone else with British passports were asked the same. The boarding process certainly took longer than I remember it used to.
BTW, this new ship Galicia is amazing, I'm just having dinner, fantastic choice and my cabin is lovely, very happy
I'm confused now, I thought they were leaving the UK? UK border control won't stamp their passports will they?
No I'm travelling to the UK from Spain. So, unless you're an EU resident, your passport would be stamped as you leave Schengen, so you can't come back into Schengen if you've already had your 90 days in 180. I don't think the UK stamp passports, they wouldn't need to if you're British would they? The 90 day rule is a Schengen rule, nothing to do with UK.....afaik!
Sorry I misread your original post, I understand now
May I ask why / what you think is amazing ?.I had heard that and wasn't sure, but I was specifically asked the question when I handed over my passport. I'm assuming everyone else with British passports were asked the same. The boarding process certainly took longer than I remember it used to.

What's going to happen, something you know that could be of importance to everyone...????
Scanned yes.....a physical stamp might not have been put into a passport, but a scanned record could be in the system....
people aree going to get confused. The Op was asked if they were resident of an EU country and they answered yes, and their passport wasn't stamped. As it was a British passport surely it should havebeen .
No, British citizens with EU residency. Our Spanish resident Brit friends do not get their passports stamped.
Maybe its to remind the holder of when / where they have been?
Yes as I said at the end. Or in some cases who they are!!
Nope..I have a UK Passport, because I am British....I am a EU resident...living in Spain, my passport will not be stamped...
Of course, just my opinion, I've only travelled on the Finistere before. This ship is so obviously new and shiny, the choice of food for the included dinner last night was fantastic, I had 5 huge shell on prawns with smoked salmon to start, then a pork steak in a tasty sauce with dauphinoise potatoes and charred green pepper and a fig I think relish, chocolate gateau to finish, it was all delicious. Wine was very reasonably priced. My cabin (just the cheapest inside one) is spotless, plenty of bathroom space, very hot powerful shower, decent size tv with live British channels, and the bed was really comfy. Good selection for breakfast this morning, included with fare, except if you want full English you pay but it was less than £6, and it looked good. Love the duty free shop, staff all helpful and polite, nothing not to like for me. I view the crossing as a necessary evil so maybe my expectations are not extremely high, as long as its clean and does what I need it to do, I'm happy. Can't find any fault so far. Oh and the free WiFi works fine, I'm sat in the lounge posting this nowMay I ask why / what you think is amazing ?.
I have rebooked 5 of our future crossing so as to avoid it.

18 Stamps out 18 Stamps in = 36 x ten years = 360?
