Recently on the forum there has been a lot of comment about the price rises. I haven't experienced this although what I have noted is a massive price diffential between the different companies plying the channel.

Could be wrong be it looks as if the discount with camping cheques via the CC has stopped for this year. Test booking a "holiday" with 7 cheques against a "ferry" same trip but no cheques, showed exactly the same price for the ferry.

Also found that Brittany Ferry online booking virtually same as CC with possible advantage that they state no charge for subsequent alterations. Having said this prices considerable increased for same routes, vehicles, accommodation etc. as last year - perhaps due to lack of competition on Western Channel ?

We live in the West Country and travel to France each year during August (school hols). Our holiday time is restricted to about 16 days and therefore we nearly always find that unless we want to drive up to Dover and tale the shorter cheaper crossing we have not much choice but to travel Brittany Ferries from Portsmouth, Poole or Plymouth. Apart from cost this is by far the better routes for us to go to Brittany - Vendee - Dordogne. The boats, cabins and food on these routes is very good and starts the holiday off for us. The only draw back is the cost. We have booked for 2006 in August - Portsmouth-St Malo over, with cabin and Cherbourg-Poole back, without cabin and the cost direct booking on internet is
