mel wood Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 "bulletguy", I don't want to get into a diatribe but your last comment reinforces my suggestion that it is worth checking the prices through both clubs and the ferry company direct. I think we both agree that you cannot necessarily believe that club prices will ALWAYS be cheaper - but sometimes they are. If so, that is just one of the benefits of membership but I also accept that, whilst we are more than happy to be members of both clubs, there are some folks on this forum and elsewhere who don't want to be in one particular club or other and some folks who don't want to be in either. It is all about freedom of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletguy Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Not sure who 'Ina' is but THANKS Ina! :-D I've just booked a £48 job.......peak sailing times too.......can't be bad. Eddie you really do need to get on top of your 'quoting'.....couldn't make out exactly who to thank at first, but at least I know you raised the question. Who needs a Club eh? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all about freedom of choice. BIB.....absolutely agree. I've never disputed that. If there were any serious benefits from being 'a clubbie' then i'd join one right now but to be perfectly honest i've never found any. I used to be a C&CC member but saw nothing from it other than a 'free' sticker to shove on my screen. *-) I tried one of their so called 'member only' sites once......and found the guy parked up next to me wasn't a member and had paid exactly the same as me, so what's all that about? I get on perfectly fine and ok without being 'a clubbie' but recognise they obviously appeal to some folk. Each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek pringle Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hi Judge, It is amazing how they do it. We have booked through Alan Rogers a return Hull/Rotterdam overnight ferry---out 1st June, back 27th July with upgraded cabin and 3 Camping Cheques included for circa £350. We have not included food in this as we will go to the Bistro as the buffet has not been so good the last couple of trips. Our second trip over will be by train and free, using Tesco vouchers. cheers derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homenaway Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hi, We got small 5% discount for the Hull Zeebrugge ferry with the C&CC and as we are returning via the Transmanche Dieppe to Newhaven route I found over 60's got a 20% discount on the fare - but only by phoning the LD Lines call centre. It's not available online or through the clubs I also noticed that the Transmanche ferry is now a joint LD Lines and DFDS operation. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ina Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Bulletguy - 2013-02-19 11:29 PM Not sure who 'Ina' is but THANKS Ina! :-D I've just booked a £48 job.......peak sailing times too.......can't be bad. That's me!! I don't come on to this forum very often, but just happened to see Eddie's request in the NEC thread, and as I happened to have seen a link to the NEC offer on another forum on Sunday, I posted it. Glad to read that you got a really good deal ;-) Ina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
