Yeah, the entire world must have been on stand-by, fingers at the ready.
The 3 tier price structure is new to me this year, with differing deposit requirements.

I don't know where all this rubbish comes from regarding Caravan and Motorhome club being cheaper. I tried them for the dates I wanted (late August early September 2020) for Portsmouth to St Malo and return. I was quoted £474.00 before paying for cabins.
I managed to book direct with Brittany Ferries and as a Club Voyage member, got the same dates for £125.00 each way, both overnight crossings, cabin extra £89.00 each way and £8.50 breakfast allowance thrown in. Worth the £89.00 membership on the strength of one trip. I should add that I store the caravan in Brittany, so that makes my crossings (and storage) cheaper.

I too have tried in vain. The Club Voyage suits me and that’s what I’ll use. Looking forward already.

Hardly a like for like comparison.
You are not taking the van, the cheapest deals are when the van goes free, and you are taking the most expensive route that BF do to France.

My likely trip Plymouth to Roscoff return with cabin going out is £650 with BF and just £320 with the club making the ferry £232.

If that's rubbish then I will take it.
