                                                        Q  I have always believed

                                                        DFDS have been fair in pricing,   A
                                                        but we are not having a        When it is a premium product with
                                                        positive response to the £2.95   great service, then that is actually a fair
                                                        cup of tea onboard, are we not   price. And we believe that tea should be in
                                                                                    the same price range as coffee. Also, when
                                                        just being greedy?
                                                                                    coupled with a cake in a offer, for example,
                                                                                    then it is a very attractive offering.

           Q  More and more passengers are

           coming onboard with picnics as   A
           our prices are too high. No amount   We have been steadily upgrading our passenger offering. Our feedback
           of customer service will create   shows we need something for families, therefore we implemented the Pizza
           'surprise and delight' when they   concept. We are concentrating on the quality of outlets then putting a new
           feel ripped off.             menu in place. The onboard pricing is benchmarked against high street
                                        outlets and European markets. The environment, service and the way our
                                        customers are treated warrants the price.

              Q   Chris, are there
              any plans to target   A
              high yielding coach      Coach passengers are 750k of total passengers
              companies?            each year. We are fully aware of the difference
                                    in spending patterns and we work onboard to
                                    gauge the day/night split. This allows us to have
                                    discussions with coach companies for smarter
                                    business and to attract higher yield companies.
