Those prices look about right.

Eurotuneel has gone up a bit lately. I usually keep an eye on their website and have an open mind about travel dates and pick a deal when they've got one going. Got a return trip in November for £20

Really!! Did you book direct? Can you get off the boat? Tel number or link would be handy, please

You can book through the P&O site, heres the link:
https://www.poferries.com/tourist/content/pages/te...
I just had a look and it would cost £24 for 2 adults, 2 children and a car leaving at 9;20 and getting the 18:00 boat back. Plus the 6 bottles of wine. You might be able to get it cheaper if you play about with the times a bit!

Go to www.poferries.com
When it opens just below where you select which route and time you want there's box which refreshes every few seconds, wait until it brings up the special offer I mentioned (NOT the £39 one) click on it and Pierres your uncle. Need to book on line and soon its not on for long. yes you get off the boat, I'm having a few hours in Calais (purely for alcoholic purposes.
BTW not a lot of people know about the P&O bulk buy service. In the duty free shop you tell one of the staff that you want to bulk buy, they give you a form which you put down what you want and pay for it. They give you a slip to hand in at check in, they load you near the lift on the return trip. Go straght to DF shop and they have your booze ready in a wheeled cage, they take you down to the car and help you load. Simples!! Done it several times HIC!!!
