We Booked ferry crossing in January (travel in July) along with our camping friends and booked cabins outgoing for an overnight crossing only to receive an e mail yesterday informing us that they can no longer offer a cabin due to boat changes!

Offered a seat or alternative crossing from Newhaven - Dieppe (which would mean less than 4 hours sleep) before having to drive onto campsite in the early hours of the morning.

Spoke to customer services about how this has come about and what is the critera for allocation and was told that people who booked earlier than us, have small children or disabled passengers take priority.   Needless to say we shall never sail with this disgraceful company ever again !   Feel they have taken our booking under false pretences and I will make sure as many people hear about this shoddy treatment.

Be warned if you use this Company :(

Thanks, this just makes me even more annoyed and determined to get this sorted. 

If we don't get a satisfactory outcome I will certainly never use this company again.

Pity DFDS took over Norfolk Line who ran a tight ship with excellent early bird offers and free changes up till end of June.

We voted with our clicking fingers this time and used the Tesco Points for the Tunnel which is a better deal and shorter time journey.

If you push hard enough you may get lucky - someone else did.

JOin the club. We booked and paid in January and they dumped us a week or so ago. I fired off three emails then thought 'Sod it' and called them. Got upgraded to an outside cabin and the girl said there were only 6 outside cabins left on that sailing.
Phew !!

I WONT be travelling with them next year.
