LM2013 - Ferries

[Brad Zarse]

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?!?

Glad to see your going this year Brad.

Being a Dad you seem to be planning ahead, something I have never managed to do    , well done.

We've never booked ahead before....maybe he's having more of an effect on me than I thought??

These offers are only valid until 6th December, so they are of no value to LM traffic.

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.

Its the thought that counts!  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.

Don't do the Xmas one anymore, still do one in April/May to stock up on wine though.

On the night ferry out, and the 17:00 ferry back? 

If so, you'll be on our ferry.  And that is not good news for my chances of getting any meaningful sleep!
