Kitty Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Last summer, didn't a different cross-channel ferry collide with yacht in Southampton Water because the male look-out was wearing sunglasses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marym2 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 This is from the Port's web siteSpeedferries departures from the Hoverport to Boulogne have cancelled all sailings today due to technical reasons. Speedferries hope to resume sailings on the 31.12.07. Passengers are advised to contact them for further information on 0870 2200570. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opas Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I am so pleased I booked with Norfolkline now......... I bet Speedferries charge passengers 15 pounds per head to re-book their passengers onto a new sailing[:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 ......... I bet Speedferries charge passengers 15 pounds per head to re-book their passengers onto a new sailingWhatever failings they may have, charging for problems of their own making is not one of them. I wouldn't anticipate any problems or charges when transferring bookings, unless you count waiting at Boulogne for two or three days as a problem.....[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Roy Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 They didn't charge us last Christmas when gales in the channel cancelled all sailings of everything. Glad I stayed at home this year, and not stuck in UK![:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolly daydream Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I was booked on that ferry and 'No' they did not charge for a change of booking and we were given and immediate refund and a contact number if we wanted to claim for extra costs due to the inconvenience. We were then charged £92 by Sea Ferries for a one way crossing to Calais (next available sailing) and when we arrived at the check in desk around 6 minutes later were told there was an earlier sailing for a £5 alteration fee, which we paid. At least we got home safe and sound and did not have to cancel our hotel in Boulogne.Would also add that SF were very helpful and had a list of all the times of sailings and prices of other ferry companies etc- Channel tunnel was £160 one way!!

Chancer Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 But only for the day methinks, there are no sailings in January.Glad to hear that the boat is again serviceable before being taken out of service, no sarcasm intended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 It was back on Monday, and will be out of service from the 8th of January until the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
