Club Arnage

Just been checking on prices , is it just me or are they higher this year?

Or have I waited too long?

Yes looked this year and last, prices are higher, cheapest way of getting there thisyear for me is P&O via Dover.

Love the overnight one from Porstmouth, but even taking account of extra fuel needed, still worked out cheaper P&O way.

Due to my austerity measures, need the money for Beer  ;D

There are some Eurotunnel bargains at the mo' (20,000 cheap tickets) but they may be all gone by now, dunno.  Worth a try though if the route suits.

If the rivers here stay like this, I might well need a ferry to ;D

Last year I paid £278 for Portsmouth-Cherbourg-Poole

This year I'm paying £222 for Portsmouth-Cherbourg-Portsmouth

Same car.  Same number of pax.  Same dates.

Only difference is I booked in October rather than February.

Dick turpin has stung me for an extra 35 squidies just for the bike

Which ferry does he run?  ;D

Ferry prices - Owl

What does it mean?

@Redstu: if you don't mind putting those few extra miles on the road, check norfolkline Dover to Dunkirk.
Just checked their price for one vehicle on dates 6 - 13 june, and they're offering £58.00 including fuel charge (whatever that is).

Darn well worth those extra few miles in France, it's only 20 minutes north of Calais!

Check with www.aferry.to.  I went over with Norfolk Lines in November, and it was cheaper with aferry.to than Norfolk's own website - there was no fuel surcharge.

£32 cheaper for us this year using Brittany Turpin. Thats extra beer in the bar then :P

tunnel for me i think!

Paddy , Del

thanks

Think thats the route we will take. Its actually the one we chose last year.
I should give up looking for alternatives makes planning easier!

Could be this.

Just had an email from Aferry.co with details of special offer if you book before end Jan.  Checked out trip outbound on the tues and back on the Monday (of LM  week) - £46 return for car +3 passengers.

Del

Does this need a special code?
I get £58 for those dates with aferry.co.uk, aferry.com and Norfolk Line's own website.

No code, but you have to follow a link in the email.  It takes you to here:

Magic!
Thanks Del.

I paid less this year than last, going on the same ferry and times.? portsmouth/caen.

I got the same email , so will be booking via the link. a very good price.

Portsmouth has proved just too expensive this year.  The caravan doesn't help, but you can't pay £5-600 just for a long weekend.  I expect a week somewhere exotic for that price.

Websites were giving £150-200 for Dover, with Norfolk cheapest as usual, but then I tried the Caravanning and Camping Club travel, and they did P&O for £100.  I know its embarressing to admit I'm a member, but at that price.....

Have you tried Saga?  ;D ;D

>Martini...LB

The SeaFrance Dover- Boulogne  route is a good price currently at £70 return. Saves a decent amount of Km as well.

So I think I'll be booking this evening.

Boulogne or Calais?

We are doing Dover to Calais - P&O - £92 return.

Neil - clue is in the original post - "The SeaFrance Dover- Boulogne  route is a good price"  ;)

Ferry prices on Dover/Calais seem to be dropping a bit now, I've been looking at July/August and they have dropped about 20%.

I know the clue, but do Sea france know, as when I look at their website no mention of Boulogne ????

and I prefer Boulogne as well

SeaFrance obviously haven't been informed that they are supposed to have a Dover/Boulogne service, if they've ever had a Boulogne service it was a long time ago.

Now its a good job I re read this topic  it is indeed Calais!  However in my defence I searched for Dover to  Boulogne  and it came up with SeaFrance, and i must have speed read the rest.
Damn the excitement is getting to me. I got the price right though!
Sorry Neil et al!

After hearing that the Vomit comet was coming online again (thanks Lorry)I held off to see if any bookings came up, AND they did..!!

I think louis dreyfuss read my post and cut the price, I take back the Dick Turpin tag, I have just saved 45 squddies on last year £140 down to £95 for the same timetable out Wednesday morning back monday evening. How about it now Ian??? While stocks last..........
NO BRAINER - BOOKED  ;D

Finally decided and booked.

Dover to Dunkirk at £46.

Considering that 3 of the companies operating from Dover had special offers on , this could be the time of year to book this crossing.

Just booked P&O Dover Calais. Monday to Monday £61.80 including card fee. Had to be booked by 10pm tonight at http://www.ferrycheap.com/poferries-offer.asp (http://www.ferrycheap.com/poferries-offer.asp)
