Anyone going this year via Portsmouth??
£40-£48 return Portsmouth-Le'Harve. Ferry leaves Portsmouth at 23:00 Friday and arrives at Le'Harve 07:30 Saturday. GP ticket (Saturday and Sunday only) 80 euros Just need somewhere to sleep on Sat night. Campsite shouldn't be that expensive.
Local campsites seem to hike their prices around the same time (supply and demand i suppose ), and about 15-20quid a night, there are some decent places to stay other than camping though (unless that's your thing). I will be going Via portsmouth but im around the southampton area anyway
Have you booked a cabin? There aren't many. If not take your camping mat into the lounge and claim a space on the floor: there's plenty of room. The seats are okay but you'll get better sleep on the floor. Also, the food on board is expensive. Have a good nosh before you get on the ferry. There's a McPub next to the Travelodge by the port entrance.
