Brittany Ferries Cancellations in June

[chasingracecars]

Seems as though Brittany Ferries have cancelled a number of crossings in June from Caen moving people onto other crossings nearby or at different times. My chosen crossing time is now no longer available until Thursday after the race, other routes work out more expensive.

Anyone else having problems?

We had an e-mail saying our overnight Portsmouth to Le-Havre ferry was leaving an hour earlier and docking much earlier. On checking the revised tickets they had moved the Monday return from the evening time to a morning crossing, which would have meant leaving Le-Mans at silly O'clock. Our group of 4 managed to rearrange with them to better times.
If you have received revised tickets check all the times as they don't state all the changes in the e-mail.
Obviously trying to squeeze more crossings in for Brexit.

Normandie ferry is in for repair before being moved to the Le Harve route before the new Barfleur arrives.

From the 18th of June I think it’s only one ferry for Pompy Caen.

The Monday silly O'Clock departure means I've now booked a Hotel 15 minutes down the road.

I was booked on the Monday night Portsmouth to Le Harve crossing on the 'economique' service. Was 2330 to 0830 (the whole point is to get some kip! They moved the crossing to 1530 - 2230 which kinda voided the getting a cabin for some sleep element.

Phoned them and managed to get transferred to got the 2245 'cruise' crossing Portsmouth to Caen crossing which appears to be an upgrade of sorts and at no extra charge.

I'm on the Tuesday night crossing from Portsmouth to Le Harve which was 23:30 and has been moved forward 30 minutes to 23:00.

Instead of Portsmouth Caen, I now travel 6 hours earlier from Poole but to Cherbourg and come back at the same time but again from Cherbourg instead of Caen. Costing £45 more but a lot more driving. Especially when towing!

Our trip from Cherbourg to Poole on monday got moved from a 22.00 depart to 1500 depart, means leaving the campsite earlier than we wanted. Still it is what it is. Really excited about this year's race

I’m on the Pompey to caan 8.15 on the 12th and return at8.30 on the 17th and it’s not affected. They said they are putting one of the ferries in dry dock but not till later in June.

Normandie is in dry dock from 18th ie it’s not sailing the 0830 from Ouistreham might not also be doing the 1600 the day before!
