Prices please and with whom
Looked on P&O web site on Sunday, PO-Cherbourg (Wed) and Le Havre-Portsmouth Monday eve. Car + trailer and 4 people, no cabins or extras, quote was
for w/e of 11/12 £256
for w/e of 18/19 £211
Couldn't book it for varios reasons until Tuesday, when I found that some 'on-the-ball' person at P&O had realised the change of date for LM 2005, and these prices were reversed. This means that there is a price hike of 21%+ for LM weekend, and that 2 day delay cost us 45 quid! I did write to them a few years back about the hike for LM weekend, and the reply was 'it is not our policy to rook the Le Mans travellers' - could have fooled me!
Can't make a direct comparison with last year as we have for the last few years taken the fastcraft, but this year they will not allow even small trailers on them, but the cost last year was £259 for similar sailings ie out Wed and back Mon eve.
C'est la vie - if you want to go, you have to pay the fares.
