Title: LM2013 - Ferries Post by: Brad Zarse on October 17, 2012, 01:55:31 pm Chaps and Chapesses - Just thought you might like to know that the ferry prices appear to have dropped (since I last looked anyway).
Just booked Portsmouth - Le-Havre, on the days, and at the times I wanted, for 4 people, at a total cost of £224.00 - This is down from the £325 that they wanted when they went on sale, and the £450 that I paid last time we went to LM in 2011! Maybe LD lines missed the race date change?!? ;D Title: Re: LM2013 - Ferries Post by: nopanic - neil on October 17, 2012, 06:40:18 pm Chaps and Chapesses - Just thought you might like to know that the ferry prices appear to have dropped (since I last looked anyway).

An alternative, especially if you drag a trailer/caravan, is to use another of their offers. Either go to: www.dfdsseaways.co.uk/nec or use the regular dfds site using the promotional code ENEC. This should give you a return fare for car + caravan (or just a car!!) of £78. Spaces are limited, and if you get an error message, it may mean that there is no more space on that particular ferry, so clear out your cookies and try a different date/time.

Do people still do the Christmas booze run these days?! - I have some happy memories of those when I lived in Kent ....... :) Title: Re: LM2013 - Ferries Post by: DelBoy on October 19, 2012, 04:05:31 pm Do people still do the Christmas booze run these days?! - I have some happy memories of those when I lived in Kent ....... :) Still do, Fran - just booked to go over on 10th Nov. Booze & baccy - although I don't smoke anymore, will get some for SWMBO and my daughter (won't sell it of course - that's illegal!!). So the £22 return is OK for me at this time.
