P&O 2004 Ferry Prices released

[wishy]

Well at the end of the day as pretzel says when it comes to prices ther is no loyalty to the ferry companies.

It is a shame that Brittany have become so greedy this year,only because they have cottoned on to Le Mans weekend being a good time to rip off the punter as they have a captive audience ......after all!!

I will admit wether it is Cherbourg or St.Malo an extra hour to the journey time is better than travelling down from Calais.

Be fair , P&O have clued up to it and have done for years .

It seems good value on a ferry , but anyone eaten the LE MANS SPECIAL BREAKFAST for £8.50 .

There wre people cuing half way round the boat a few years ago.

Or the Fosters Special LE Mans Packs , ( 24 cans of beer with an extra 50p of the price)

P&O dont want to rock the boat too much. They were VERY full last year , Brittany had space on most of there sailings .

i think p+o may have it right next year. they know they can fill their boats, thats not an issue, its how much traffic can they take from brittany. by lowering their prices they are taking regulars from bittany this year and hopfully will have a wider customer base next year. also with the millions of pounds they are saving after this and last years cut backs, its not as costly to run the ferries out of portsmouth as it was. i think they are about to give britttany a run for their money. i was working last night on a half term weekend, looked at the figures for the next few days and all the boats are full to capacity. britany on the other hand have acres of space. i suggest if you are going to make a booking for next year make it now and change it later.

Le Mans - How much are we paying . Why cant i get a price that good . Dont you know the right people  ?

[Chef]

210 is very cheap. even with no acomm thats a good price. i see to only get 450 on the net

[starbar]

Just had a look on the site same xing with a car only and 3 passengers £154

[Robbo SPS]

Starbar , how on this planet do you get these prices ?
Have you a special code or am i being an internet virgin ?

[Chef]

that is very cheap as i can only get 350. what are you doing different to me?

[starbar]

I do not know, but if you try the same xings see what you get.
I think the reason it is a good price is because tuesday is still early for the big Le Mans push, and monday Cherbourg return because it is a s**t time.

Please have a look, I promise I have the acceptance booking here, and I rang P&O to confirm the price and Yep it is correct.

I have been going to Le Mans for 20 years and this is the best early price I have ever got.  BTW yes I was a Brittany ferries fan (Porsmooth as the french say to Caen) but was turned last year by the P&O Le Harve service the club class overnight was fantastic went on the tuesday night and there were only about a dozen or so people in club class had several settees to ourselves.

I phoned P&O for Portsmouth/ Le Harve, Out monday morning and return on Sunday night. Car, 4 people and cabin each way came to £456. Mate gets the Brittany discount and that comes to £375 for same crossings apart from it goes to Caen, so we are booking this week so we can get on the return ferry. If it all goes to sh*t with the people not going, its £10 to cancel. Hate paying that much but makes the journey so much easier for us as we have to travel down from Newcastle ( and back when we bool off the ferry) so the cabin is a god send.

So thats me definitely going. Yippee
Will be looking for a spare MB ticket or 2 as we have decided to camp there next year. So if any of you chaps etc etc etc

Just booked mine, same route/times as Starbar, and yes it is true, £154 return for the Sud and three passenger.  I reckon there might be an error on their site....    

[starbar]

welcome aboard dreamracer me hearty, I suppose there will be no contest on the way down to Le Mans, me with my sluggish A4 estate and van against your SUD, ahh but do you know the short cuts on route (wink wink)
