ferry to GB

We are going to England for a wedding at the end of July. We'd like to take our car and visit friends and family as well. Does anyone know of how to get a good deal on a ferry to Scotland/England? - the prices seem ridiculous. Thanks.

    Tesco clubcard points?

    The prices are silly! I wanted to go to Liverpool (as a foot passenger) in June out on Friday night back on Saturday night £175 :eek:

    EasyJet £35 Mmmm

    Try seeing how much it is as foot passengers and hire a car over here.
    It might work out cheaper
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    Erm as this is a Northern Ireland forum I would guess they are in NI! Also did you not read my post on foot passengers from NI to GB?

    Good deal - very unlikely. School holidays July and August = travel companies charging top dollar. :mad:

    Okay, my apologies and i have modified my post.
    Let me explain.
    I was looking at a list on 'new posts'
    There was no mention of what board it was ie no NI thread was stated.
    The OP said they wanted a ferry to England not stating where they were coming from.

    I saw a post that i could possible help with and posted.
    The next post treated me with disprespect implying that i was an idiot and i found that offensive but yes i did overreact and have apologies above for that.
    Enough said.
    I'm gone - Whoosh
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
