Guest JudgeMental Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 thanks Lenny, I may use this to go to Düsseldorf show :-D to get it down to £50 pretty unsociable times though...what do you think? thinking of 30th to 3rd or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicka Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Hi Lenny Exclusion of Motorhomes may be height related, rather than length. Maybe wise to ring P&O to clarify. Wouldn't want you to be touring France in an open top. 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back 10:55 am Sunday OK I accept may have to get up early at 9:30. I think it said somewhere in the offer you can get on a ferry up to 1½ hours before the booked time.

Bojitoes Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 "Book, using offer code WSS, by the 25th August for travel during August 2010 and get £5 off each way when travelling out from Dover on any Sunday to Thursday and out from Dunkirk on any Monday to Friday during the offer period" I just got this offer through and am going out Sunday 12th September, returning Friday 12th November, £19 each way, fare applies to motorhomes up to 7metres. Monday departure would be an extra tenner. Hope of interest Bojitoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Just checked with Norfolkline and for similar unsociable times, they are a few quid cheaper.....the difference being, the quote is specifically for a motorhome. would hate to turn up and get knocked back as P&O terms do say cars only....... maybe worth checking with a call edit: not cheaper a bit more (fuel duty) :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshortcircuit Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Great to see some good deals about. When I board a ferry and park beside a monster of a truck I query why I am asked the height of my MH as I have yet to board a channel ferry that would present that problem. I also find annoying the C&CC booking system which requires full vehicle details, date of birth of passenger etc all of which are irrelevant and in my experience the system falls over at the last moment resulting in a telephone call being required when I can book direct with the same carrier with no problems and minimum information.

Alan D Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Exactly, the only time I have seen any height problems has been on the Condor to St Malo. As for Club ferry bookings I have given up. I have been told there are no vacancies when there are plenty and at cheaper prices. Also more flexibilty booking direct with no problems getting through on the telephone. This business of a code annoys me, there are continuous codes available for a discount, what a con for unsuspecting regular users. I have just received a Privilege Discount code from Seafrance yet it can be bettered on the very same website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJay Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 As Alan says , height is required on Fast cats, as brittany can only take so many High vehicles, and you have to back on, as unable to turn to come off.Handy to be one of the first off !! We are just over 3 mtrs (Due to Sat Dome) and were the highest vehicle on the Cherburg/Portsmouth crossing two weeks ago. They take trailers but not caravans on this crossing.
