Changing ferry time (1 Viewer)

Anyone just turned up late for the ferry? We've booked Caen to Portsmouth for the Friday but want to delay to Sunday. C&CC want about £100 to change the ferry (difference I price plus their admin fee!) Just wondered if cheaper to just turn up late?

Ignore C&CC. Contact the ferry company directly.

I recently did a change Newhaven Dieppe from May to September, direct with DFDS, from memory £77.

With Brittany Ferries changes are free if done on line. You may have to pay more if you change a June booking for say August, but there is no admin fee.

Always ring the ferry companies direct .somtimes going it can cost an extra £20 or30 ,but coming Back .I always appologize for being early by telling them I had a great run to the ferry .The usually ask if you would like to go on the next ferry ,a smile ,yes please and it's a freebee lol.

You won't know if you don't try.

Thanks for your suggestions. An email from them said about £100 including their "admin fee" but when I spoke to them was under £80.

Prices do vary at different times and on different days of the week. To save pennies sail early on a weekday.

I've also had both P&O and DFDS allow me credit on cancelled bookings, which I carried over to new bookings a few months later. Always deal with them directly.

I'd still contact the ferry company directly.

I certainly wouldn't just turn up 2 days late and expect to even travel, let alone for free

If 2 days early definitely worth a try, they will want to move you if they have a space so they can resell your original space again

Had to change our summer holiday return sailing date allowing another week in France. Phoned P&O last night - only cost £21.
