Tina Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Just changed our morning summer crossing from Plymouth-Roscoff to Portsmouth-StMalo - saving a 100. I checked online first but as had booked by phone last Sept rang to amend it. And surprise it was slightly dearer (we have had it the other way) but was told that they had to use the price band at the time of booking and not the current price so therefore the difference. The only way to get the cheaper one would be to cancel it and book online therefore losing the deposit and probably the availability! So much for early booking.When the confirmation came the outward ferry (Bretagne) for 2 people and a car was 87.10 and the inward(Pont Aven! Roscoff-Plymouth at 14.00hrs)was 229.14!!! This with our property owners discount too! Are we buying shares in the ship? (And why is there a fishy/fish glue smell round the lift/reception area and why an hour to disembark?)

Markradland1 Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Does anyone know anything about the Bretagne? It has appeared on my Autumn bookings. Is it replacing the Duc? Is it a better ship? Is this a permanent change?Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 We love the Bretagne , and will be sorry if she leaves Portsmouth , however there was an article in our local paper a few months back , saying that BF were thinking of basing the Pont Aven in Portsmouth at least for part of the year , the article ended with a quote from a BF spokesperson saying, ` the Pont Aven is a very fast and safe ship , the only thing that could stop her is an exocet missile ` !! ( or an iceberg perhaps ) Regards,Jude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
