Stuwsmith Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Received an email from Norfolkline today, £5 off each leg of crossing and free booking amendment till 31/05/10.I have just booked a crossing for September returning October. The cost? £21!! This is my cheapest channel crossing ever. It is for a car/motorhome less than 2.4m high, max 5m long, 2 adults, paying by Visa debit card (£1 surchage) it includes a fuel surcharge (£8) I quoted an offer code of EBF to get this price.

Mel B Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Just tried this myself out of interest, if you're under 2.4m high you can get it for as little as £6 each way ... but if you're over 2.4m high ... it's £200 each way!!!!! 8-) What logic is that??????

spospe Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I tried quotes for May to July (a 60 day break) and it made no difference at whatever time of day I used. It was £200 each way. Is this a Boo-Boo on the website, or don't they want us any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Maybe they're putting an extra level in the boat to get more vehicles across in one go and therefore the silly prices are there to stop anyone trying to take a higher vehicle across????? 8-) Or maybe they expect us to take a tin opener to our motorhomes and remove the top??? *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod_vw Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Sea France £34 return High Top LWB VW T5 dates in May & June. Admittedly out late evening and return mid morning but that suits my way of using the Calais terminal park for first & last nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit that there have been odd occasions when I wished that we had a high top but definitely not when booking ferry crossings!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod_vw Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I've run high top VWs for the past 14 years and never found a difference in cost between high & low on the Dover - Calais route. Granted this year (2-10) is the lowest cost crossing I have ever booked, we used to think £99 open return was good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel B Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 The best way to build up 'free' Tesco vouchers is to send in old printer cartridges - if you check the Tesco website you can find details of which cartridges they'll accept - for every one you get £1 credit which equates to £4 in vouchers when used on Eurotunnel etc. You can send in up to a maximum of 30 cartridges every 12 months.

Earthmover Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hi, I have read somewhere that Norfolkine has been sold to LD lines, with Norfolklines retaining a 33% interest. Not sure if that bodes well for the future?. Em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot really apart from fuel and some shopping. I have a tesco visa card and earn points by using it for most purchases then pay it off at end of month. soon mounts up and the deals roll in. About to book stenna line to holland for trip to scandinavia in june, with tesco vouchers of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
