No, but it puts Motorhomecraic in a good position for negotiation Discounts in the future if they see traffic through the site and they also advertise on the site so they need to see that their ad is working.

We got that email too Dave but unfortunately will not be making use of it in 2016. For the first time in 23 years we will not be taking our main summer holiday in France. (Wife has other ideas)

We will still be traveling over next year but not with the motorhome... :-| :-|


Using the Irish Ferries link on this site to book is important as we need to prove to them the advert is worth while. This site needs advertisers to help pay for the development Ally is doing on a regular basis. They will be tracking the traffic from all their adverts and it would be great for them to view motorhome craic as the best place to acquire motorhome bookings.

We get no extra discount but it doesn't cost us anything either to click the link.

Remember there is a new motorhome craic app coming which needs to be paid for.

I think IF prices have increased a fair bit over the years. I have always used them because the free trip to the uk has made the difference worthwhile. Now I am beginning to have my doubts. I have never traveled with stenna to France. Is they much difference onboard?

Won't be going to France in the RV next year, wife has other ideas ( know how it is Mark...) and wants to rent an apartment in Spain for a month :( However, I still have to use the free Irish ferries crossing to the mainland at some point, so I'll get my motorhome fix in a small way.

Hi t18con,

Just did a comparison of my €612 Irish ferries against Stena who were £639 or €860.

Same dates and cabins (or as close as possible), but I am not surprised by the result.

Although lots of people raved about Celtic Link, in my case they were always more expensive. Must be to do with the van size or some unknown factor.

Davy
