Eslier Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 The new booking engine is most certainly a big improvement on the old one. It would be helpful however if, when the dates and crossings list appears to make a selection, the original date entered could be highlited to make sure people don't book the wrong day by mistake.Prices are fair and comparable to Britany Ferries, but nothing to get excited about. For people with homes in France it is still much cheaper, in most instances, to travel with BF using the Property Owners Club discount. The Condor Frequent Traveller Club only offers discounts of up to 10% which is way off the 33.3% offered by BF.If Condor wants to improve the quality of service to passengers taking the longer crossings to France then they MUST do something about the awful microwaved food on board. Even the free danish pastries in the Club Lounge have usualy only just been thawed from frozen and are still cold in the middle. I think I had the worst cooked breakfast I've ever had on Condor Vittesse. What about some freshly baked baguettes with tasty fillings, some freshly cooked food and decent freshly brewed coffee ?

Paulal Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 We were members of the frequent traveller club but found out last month the set up has changed from 2006 and now you only get a discount on your 5th crossing in a year. For us, although owners in France, we have to work to pay for this and cannot make five crossing a year so feel the price of the membership does not make it cost effective for us to cross with Condor. This is a real shame as we have always enjoyed crossing with them and St Malo is much better situated for us to get to our house in Charante. If we want the shortest travel time in France we now have to travel Portsmouth/St Malo with Britanny which is overnight and therefore more expensive. Club Class on Condor has always been our preferred sailing but alas will be no more unless we pay full price.Perhaps Condor could take into account those of us who would like reduced prices but due to work commitments cannot travel the required five times a year.We would also like to be able to pick where we sit in Club Class when making on line bookings, with modern technology surely it is possible to put a seating plan on the website so those who are travelling in two cars and need six seats can book to sit together. At the moment, if we want to book this we have to telephone and it isnt always convenient to do this.Sorry to go on a bit.Paula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
