Irish Ferries

[pamjon]

We went to France with Irish Ferries extremely cheaply (£100). Excellent ship and staff. We came back with Irish Ferries booking 2 days before we came back 108 euros. So far our experience has been good with them. ( Surprised that we didn't have to man the oars!)
We normally go Newhaven Dieppe but there was a £200 difference.

What port was your departure and return?

 

[pamjon]

Sorry , I should have said. We went Dover Calais and we didn't have to do an API like DFDS.

What's an API ?
Came over with Irish ferries on Friday. Always a bit cheaper. Don't book on day of travel with any company. Twice the price
Irish ferries have now partnered up with P&O
Rather puts me off them

I didn’t know Irish Ferries operated out from any of the channel ports.

If you worked in civil service, local authorities and similar, your union membership may have come with a ‘Membership Plus’ discount card. This will get you 10% off both Irish Sea GB to Ireland crossings and equally 10% off Dover Calais.
I am in N. Ireland and use it regularly on Dublin/Cherbourg were again 10% is available, although this drops to 5% during June to August.

We've been doing API on long haul flights for many many years.

I don't know when it started for EU.

Yes flights/ferries would , I suppose , come under same rules .
Just never experienced it for ferries

Sorry Witzend, I've done a little research.

API was introduced for UK/EU ferries this year.

An I been fulling out the form for booking BF since ******

We have been using Irish ferries for the past few years Dover - Calais and have to give all the necessary details when you book your tickets so no API needed

Irish Ferries did a fire and rehire just like P&O

Wasn't aware of that
They've certainly just announced some kind of arrangement with P&O
The way I read it you could book Irish ferries but , possibly , end up on P&O .
Think I'll be swerving them in the future

The Tunnel always asks for API but from memory I think if you have an account , it stores your info for you so it's easier to do.
