I have always paid the short channel crossing companies in full when booking. Same with the tunnel. Not used the longer crossings but I assumed they all operated that way.

LD lines take full payment on booking too even when you book through the Caravan Club (which is what we did) I think its becoming increasingly common, our BA flights to Cyprus in August which we booked last November wanted full payment on booking too.

Looking on the bright side, at least you've got it booked and paid for already instead of having all the holiday costs due nearer the trip.

i tend to use brittany ferries as i only live 30ml from plymouth and as you say they dont do it. they are very good at letting you change to early or later crossings .

i have no complaint with brittany ferries i think they are very helpfull. i take the santander run in winter and a few 5or 10day crossingsto roscoff in summer.always pleased with them.

cheers alan.

Thanks everyone - such sensible advice.  We'll be insuring tomorrow (not on line as it's too early). 

Agree with the comments on Brittany Ferries, have always liked them, but getting sick of the drive from Cumbria - M6, Birmingham, M5 - a nightmare!  We're now beginning to prefer staying north of the Blackpool turn-off where the roads get more civilised.  Think we're getting old!!!

Oops.  Seemed to have turned into my old man Atomical.
