Brittany Ferries are now booking for December and onwards and it is Portsmouth to Bilbao after the 23 Dec.

Just booked for the 27 Dec. on the Cap Finistre including a dog friendly cabin so can anyone predict the weather in the Bay of Biscay for around 11am on the 28 Dec.

No guessing allowed.

Can anyone tell me if these long distance ferries have any provision for electric hook-ups whilst on board to keep the fridge cool?

Thanks for that. I just wondered how people kept their fridge cool on a 24 hour crossing. Mind you having looked at the price of the crossing I doubt we will be using it as we generally have plenty of time to wander down through France.

Re dogs to Spain. Check out the Brittany web site where you will find all details under "Pets". Kennels are OK, 2 or 3 sizes - depends on the ferry, + there are now 14 "dog friendly" cabins on the Cap Finistere. The cabins are 4 berth outside, en suite but with vinyl floor for cleaning after animals. We have used both kennels and a cabin on different trips with 3 border collies. We prefered the kennels as it gave us more freedom for meals etc.and as you have a swipe card allowing you to visit whenever you wish it was no problem. I spent quit a bit of time on the "dog exercise" deck, which although a bit windy, was fine. However, when full, it might be a bit noisier and crowded up there. Still, it is cheaper than boarding kennels for 3, lower toll fees and less fuel by avoiding France. As we live near to Portsmouth it saves that trip to Dover/Folkestone.
