SPTH Form for Ferry travel to Spain (1 Viewer)

[Emmit]

It gives me no pleasure in posting this but, having spent 3hrs trying to fill the above Form online this morning, I had to surrender and go to the ferry terminal and seek help from the brilliant BF staff.

To put this in context. I was a professional Form filler outer for 30yrs and I do not accept defeat easily but this one was a Lulu.
Example: Sex: Male? No. What else could I put.
Next mobile phone, In no particular order, it would not accept 078**** or 78******,or 004478****' or +4478**'''* oh! and there were two boxes for a mob. Never got to the second one!
Country? It wouldn't accept UK, GB, Great Britain, United Kingdom
The way one puts in the dob was interesting. Year hyphen month hyphen date.
Look, I'm not saying I'm perfect but I wasn't the only one at the terminal seeking advice.

As this Form is necessary for getting on the boat might I humbly suggest that you give yourself a lot of time prior to sailing. Do NOT assume you can turn up at the terminal and fill in that Form after arrival there.
The BF man said doing it on a laptop is easier but you will need to print the QR code out (wouldn't you?)

Just because it is in english doesn't mean the answers can be. We aren't that clever here.

My wife wonders why I deal with everything online in spanish.

We are sitting waiting to board to Santander. We got so far in the form and then had ask a Brittany Ferries staff member if he could help.
He completed both my wife’s and mine on the phones in less than a minute. All done with a smile. Don’t be afraid to ask for assistance

Filled ours out during our lunch break en-route to the ferry for our bike trip.

Only problem I recall was that it wouldn’t upload one of the required documents but since we had that on our phones we didn’t worry.

So Emmit what were the correct methods of entering the fields you spoke of, it would be interesting to know

 

[Emmit]

As I couldn't do it I am at a loss as to give you an answer.
I have a feeling that the BF desk Jockey may have used the 'Family' section as there was information he didn't ask pertaining to Mrs Emmit that he couldn't deduce otherwise but, other than saying it was easier to do it on a laptop, I can't help. Sorry

"Just because it is in english doesn't mean the answers can be. We aren't that clever here."

The words, "We aren't that clever here" aren't the first words that spring to mind!

Our Daughter was meant to fly this Morning with BA from Heathrow, but she got an email 03.12 this morning, to check with airport before travelling, luckily she read the email when she woke up at 05.30...

I've managed to get as far as receiving a bunch of codes to input, but of course it wont accept them until literally just before I sail [2 day crossing]. Comments regarding getting to the Portsmouth terminal extra early noted with Thanks.
