panagah Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Toying with the idea of just turning up at Dover and booking a ferry on arrival as I am unsure as to what time I will be arriving. Has any one done this and if so is there a major difference in the prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totallyidle Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 You can do this but there are a couple of problems. 1. You just may not get on the ferry in busy times and you will have to hang about at that dump Dover. 2. You wont get the best price. What I do is book a single, last minute via Ferry Saver and then clear off. I dont like being tied to a set time or ferry so on the return I just book as and when, this works for us and is reasonably flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi, Just booked for next years ferrys with sea france, £ 192 for 3 returns at anytime exept certain peak periods. just turn up and they garrantee to get you on one of the next two crossings, early this year we had to come home early on tunnel, £70 extra it cost, for us this is what we had been looking for, obvious it wont suit some.

Tomo3090 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 You could try the C&CC or Caravan Club booking services as they sometimes have decent offers on, if you are in them of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I regulary travel with Norfolk Line. My wife books it online when I am about 3 hours away. It usually costs between 41 and 70 euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
