Hi Ray

I didnt mean the spanish ferry high prices were going to lose out on my business, I meant the whole package, including spending money in Morocco.

I know you are an expert in Morocco travels and I respect that, it just means for us as a couple looking to go for a reasonable priced holiday would not be able to go.

Regards
Pat

From the other side of the world, the ferry service to Iceland was just about impossible to sort out on-line but I assumed the ferries from Spain to Morocco ( Cetu) would be simple . Seems to be not the case - broken web sites, incomplete sailing schedules, limitation on length and height, no English, etc.

Any current info on best place to book - preferably on line, but phone if necessary, direct with the ferry line or agent - a Hobby 6.8 metre x 3m hight, two passengers going in mid December and returning mid March would be VERY much appreciated

[OR is it feasible at that time of the year to just turn up at the terminal and hope there is a spot available]

Hi Tony,
I know what you mean, I was trying to put in a return date mid January and the booking sites wouldnt take it, also the only one I got through seem to say upto 2.8m high, we are 3.0m

I think it will be easier to get booking done whilst down there, I know lots of people have done this in the past, but I am a little worried in case it has got harder to book at a reasonable price.

kind regards Pat

have been traveling to maroc for 10yrs have never had a problem . height length or frequency. usually use a maroc ship , it used to be a scottish ferry . get tickets in spain just before crossing . take the slow ferry savour the moment get ready for the confusion at the port.last year 185 euro for car n caravan . look at the picks its only small 30ft. all together . when you get to spain you will soon find who,s going n where the best deal can be found 25.000 campers cant be wrong . you can get 4.000 just in the agadir area alone for xmas .keep your eyes open for me n a mate in a bright purple truck we can get you into loads of trouble!.only take the bumpy roads go up the gorges, down to daklar cross to zagorra . have fun you only live once.

Thanks for that - since we are relatively free spirits (full-time motorhoming) and don't care too much if we have to hang around for a few days, I guess we will take the chance and just turn up at the terminal and shop around. Saves the hassle of getting from Stuttgart to southern Spain within a certain time.

Had figured on spending about two months in Morocco but maybe it would be best to leave the return date open just in case we either enjoy the experience and want to stay longer, or have had enough and need to return home.

[Yes, we too take the bumpy roads - just have to see all the holes punched in the rear fibreglass skirt of the Hobby by stones thrown up by the back wheels to see that (courtesy of interior road 35 in Iceland). Have fixed rubber guards right across to protect the body and the LPG tank so hopefully no more holes]
