The Norman arrow finishes summer service now, and due on the le havre crossing from April i was told. ( went to the port on a job )
It DOES take big stuff, but they charge more for using the fast boat.
Be VERY careful with LD lines. They are starting to upset people. Miss a sailing, and thats it, no moveing the booking etc. I was told by a manager " its in our terms and conditions" . The poor man i was trying to help limped off back home as he couldnt afford to buy another trip !!
Shame really.
As for Poole Cherbourg - We found it much cheaper than Portsmouth, by nearly £200 per car a few years back . .
But...
Portsmouth's new ferry termianal should be open by next June . . bigger bar, more parking . . .
