connolls Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Have I missed any posts about speed ferries ? I went to book our ferry over for april and it seems they have gone into liquidation................is this old news ?Anyone used the euro tunnel with a pet dog ? We have not used them before but think it may be a good option. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Théière Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Looks like LD lines will be running a service along the same routes soon, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I always use Eurotunnel with my cat (sorry not dog but I expect not much difference in transporting terms) and it is very easy and efficient - plus I like the fact that she is in the car with me throughout the journey. She is entirely un-stressed by the whole thing and has just completed her 17th journey (on to her 2nd passport!).Oh, on the dog front, they have a grassy run/walk area at the pet check-in bit - complete with tree!

connolls Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 Thanks for all the info...............I must have been to sleep until the new year !!!!! Just out of interest i've been looking at the sea france ferries and they look quite promising, anyone used them and do you have any thoughts on the service if so. Once again thanks in anticipation.

pagnol81 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Please be aware that Seafrance may have financial problems too. Perhaps not a good idea to invest in a block of tickets just at the moment?http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kol08/article/default.asp?article_id=52983 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCanary Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Sadly, the decline in traffic using the ferries will be compounded by fewer UK travellers because of the exchange rate.Certainly, as my wife and I are still unable to live in France, we will be cutting down on our visits and when we do come, we will be buying all our groceries in the UK before departing!

Frederick Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 The UK media is putting out stuff advising people to go on holiday to non euro destinations and avoid the USA for best value .....no standing in line for us in the ferry cafeteria this year then?

MrCanary Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 So, if people avoid euro and US dollar destinations, what is there to say that the currency of their chosen alternative is not also very high against the sad pound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Turkey and North Africa seems to be where the sun worshipers are likely to go this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Don't you think people have had enough of Turkey at this time of year [+o(]I want BT to re run that advert where "Adam" books the holiday Villa. We noticed an increase in web browsing and booking following that Ad campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
