I had that email from BF and decided to book for next April. However the booking system has baffled me. I went through the process and the prices for outbound and inbound amount to £237.00 (car only) then I click onto the next step to book cabins and it has suddenly increased to £339.00! I tried to phone to seek some clarification and I get cut off every time. I logged in so that they know I'm a Club Voyage member and I don't think there's the 30% discount on ferry prices, so if all I'm going to get for paying the subscription to Club Voyage is a free breakfast, I know what they can do with their free breakfast with it's second rate sausages - always get heartburn afterwards anyway.

Club voyage savings don't apply to cabins on overnight Xings you pay the full cost of the cabin.

I've jut done a booking for September and it went through perfectly including my Voyage discount. The cabins (2 x 4berth) both ways added another £130 to the fares themselves as, of course, these are not subject to the same discount.

If you are traveling to Spain on their new ship the Galicia I think either the evening meal or breakfast is free (included in the price)

My partner and I are looking to go to Eire in September and prices for the two of us with 2 dogs in a Motorhome of less than 5m ranges from about £400-£600 for Holyhead to Dublin. The tickets are cheaper between Liverpool and Belfast, but the cheaper price is cancelled out by the extra fuel costs and an extra day travelling. I remember being able to do the same journey for about half that not too long ago.

I considered a tour going via ferry to Eire then up to NI, to see friends, and back across from there across to Cairnryan, to see Scottish friends,..................then I saw how much it would cost and decided against it!
In September our quote for Brittany Ferries from plymouth is £331 and that includes 4 site nights at £80 so ferry cost is just £251.
As I don't like Guiness, but love red wine, I am leaning toward France!

Hi Martin734,
You can go via Irish Ferries from Pembroke to Rosslare return in September 15 to 22nd for €328 (£285). Dogs travel free.
You need to add the cost of Covid tests to enter Ireland.

Yes, that seems similar to the prices we have been getting, It wasn't that long ago you could get a return trip for not much more than that. Now a return is at least £400.

Having said that a dummy booking I did was fine when I came to do my actual booking today I had exactly the same problem. Not only did the price change but it would also not accept my credit note number as it said it said my Club Voyage details did not match the credit note number (they were correct).
I therefore contacted BF via their online chat as the lines were busy and they got back to me very quickly and it’s all sorted now, discounts given in full and credit note accepted. They were very apologetic and helpful.
It looks like there may be a glitch somewhere in their website so I would say that if you are having similar problems contact BF and get them to sort it out.
