    I think the small print will say that your card will be charged about €25 if you do not return the same day.

    No mention of it on the T+C's from what I can see:
    The Stena Line Terms of Business together with these special conditions apply to all bookings and travel.

    That's odd. I'm sure it was there before.

    Might have been a past Irish Ferries offer but I have definitely read somewhere the bit about being charged if you don't return the same day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,838 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    Aye, maybe it was on the Irish Ferries one, I think they've done similar day trips before?

  • Registered Users Posts: 51 ✭✭nemefuria


    But they don't need to implement the "penalty" for not returning the same day. According to the T&C, your return trip on a different day will be forfeit automatically as you won't be able to turn up for the outward journey. You could pay a full price single return journey I suppose and save less.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,838 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    Oh yeah, I get what you mean! Buuut, it seems if you go to the .co.uk address, you can do the opposite to get back to Ireland for £12.50 :pac:

    So you'd have to book the outward on the .ie site and the return on the .co.uk site!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,838 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    Would anyone happen to have any of them 25% off codes please? :)

    yep both Stenna and Irish Ferries. They seem to be firing these out for a few days every month now.

    IF seem to have a next day return offer price from the home page you should find the offer. It doesn't show the price as discounted but just checked the weekend prices and can see they are cheaper than I'd expect by a useful amount.

    thanks looks like it doesnt apply the discount to next day... the fair im looking at is around 208 euro for two people and a car next day return


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,764 ✭✭✭my3cents

    Thats heavily discounted.

    Try changing your return date to a day in advance so you are staying another day and see how the prices shoot up.

    When do the discount codes come out for travelling for May /June 2020.Want to travel to the UK but couldn't find any discount for travelling in these months?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,764 ✭✭✭my3cents

    Can't remember when the new time table comes out but you've plenty of time next year but I think the new time table should be out at the end of the year in time for yet another offer.

    If you can be bothered go back through the thread and see how many offers come out between Jan and June, I'd say at least two 25% off offers.

    The thing to do is to sign up for the newsletters then you'll get notification as soon as the offers are available.

    I spoke to a guy at IF who said there's none at the mom. It's desperate expensive but because of half-term it'll be the only time I can travel. :mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 258 ✭✭HairMare


    yeah we are in the same boat pardon the pun, its crazy expensive, we are travelling by van and getting rode completely


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,764 ✭✭✭my3cents


    I'm travelling the end of November I'll hold out to at least the first week before booking in case of a decent discount. Might even go with Stena as Irish Ferries have been cancelling a lot around storms when in the past they would have sailed (25 years travelling with them).


  • Registered Users Posts: 258 ✭✭HairMare


    irish ferries does seem the cheaper option for me, i just checked stena and over 600, like id expect alot for that, last time we travelled with them heaters werent working on boat we were frozen and sick subsequently

    Vans, by their nature, attract commercial fares AFAIK

    I delayed a long-awaited visit to family in England because of the extortionate prices. I told them we'd come over later in the year. Now I can't book even with 20% off because I've put a bit much other stuff on the credit card…:D:D:eek::eek:

    Cheapest trip is always the overnight mid week ones Tuesday and Wednesday. If you can plan to travel at those times then you'll save at least 25% on the price of the peak weekend fairs.

    Yeah, I always travel on the first ferry of the day (not long after midnight) on Wednesdays. Not only the cheapest but I can travel down to Dublin (from Clare) with no traffic problems!

    And on the way back from England, the M7 is empty heading up out of Dublin, with traffic chocka on the opposite side…:D

    Any discounts or deals available for accommodation & travel packages for summer 2020?


  • Registered Users Posts: 116 ✭✭Chelle_C


    Sorry guys, no codes to offer but just wondered if any of you regular ferry users can advise me.

    I've looked up a price today for travel in late December.

    If I wait until the end of November to book, are prices likely to shoot up?
    If I were booking flights I wouldn't hang around however I'm not sure if sea travel prices work the same way.

    Thanks

    Provided you don't want to travel on a busy day (Fridays and Sundays, I believe) then you've nothing to lose by hanging on for a deal. That's what I'm doing.


    The very cheapest crossings are the first one each day, each way - not long after midnight - on Wednesdays.

    Hi, looking at Dublin to Holyhead 9 - 12 December. Nearly €400 at the minute. Does anyone know of any discount code or the likelyhood of one in the next couple of weeks? Never used ferry & car before for travel so not sure if this is a decent deal.Thanks

    That price sounds about right - they just finished a deal and with it I got a return crossing for 2 people and car and cabins for €280.50 but prior to that it was around €420.


    Just subscribe to their newsletter and you'll get notified. It's not likely they'll do another deal before your dates but you never know, fingers crossed. Good luck!

    Nice one, thanks Chelle_C.

    I had already booked a one way for car + 2 adults + 1 child + one 4 berth outside cabin on a Flexi Fare basis which cost €694. I cancelled that (cancellation fee of €3) and used your code to rebook the exact same sailing for €586 but for the first time ever it offered me an option to part pay with loyalty points I'd built up over previous years which I did and ended up paying a net of €539 which puts €151 in my pocket thanks to using Flexi Fare for the first booking and the discount code you'd spotted ;)

    I'll toast you when having a "free" family meal out during the holiday :D

    Ah I’m so happy for you!
    It’s only because of this thread I even discovered there was such a thing as discount codes for Stena and saved a good chunk myself last month because of it.
    So I’m delighted to help someone else :)
    Enjoy the holiday and the ‘free’ meal!
