Oxter,  Just been on the CC site to check this price and it comes up at £124 any day / time during 2006.  For this price you need to be a CC member and book with them and not direct with Norfolkline. Hope this helps.

Thanks humberflyer. I am a member of CC - see my post Ferry Prices 2006.  At least Norfolkline are a bit cheaper - are they ok? Have you used them before?

I'll hang on for a "real" bargain but might not do any better?

Oxter.  Hope you get a good price sorted out.  I don't think you'll get a better price than £124 return - do bear in mind that these are decent sailing times and not the middle of the night jobs! 

We used Norfolkline last Easter and were very impressed.  The ships were basic but very clean and had everything you need for a 2 hour crossing.  The food on board was very good in quality and price, unlike some other operators out of Dover.  We were in Dover last week and saw the new ship, the Maersk Dunkerque completing berthing trials - she looks good!  They have another two new ships coming in over the next few months.  As a matter of interest we were travelling back from Calais with P&O last week on the Pride of Kent - the ship was packed with coach passengers and the vibration throughout the ship gave it the feel of a cattleboat!  We are regular travellers through Dover and over the years we have seen P&O standards slip.  I would certainly give them a try, especially with the new ships in service by next summer.  They will cross in 1 hour 45 mins.
