I've had a bit of an eye-opener over the weekend. I've booked two low-season holidays in France, one in May and the other in September.
I used to book my ferry crossing through CAMC but, when I checked their prices against Brittany Ferries' prices, they were significantly more expensive. This made me question the worth of being a member of CAMC. Then, I considered the marvellous CL's we stay at. However, several of the owners of these CL's have increased the capacity of their sites by adding pitches completely separate from the CL, as per CAMC rules but, still charging the same prices. I will be seriously considering my CAMC membership renewal when it's due.
Now onto Brittany Ferries. The September crossing went through without a hitch. However, as I was entering the payment details for the May crossing, I got a popup message stating that the cost of my crossing had changed and had increased by £48! I hadn't left the booking overnight which I could forgive, this literally happened during the transaction. A bit naughty I think.
