    red funnel ferries - enter 'great' in the discount code box. Discount code is valid until september 2012. Gets 20.12% off the cost.


    just tried this and says expired? Anyone else
    Started comping October 2011, no wins as of yet. Would really love to win a short uk break so we can take the children away :D Thank you to everyone who takes the times to post competitions and good luck:j

    I used it only the same day as you and it went through ok. Try it again, I can't remember whether I used GREAT or great so try both?
  • It is often a lot cheaper to book the ferry crossing along with the caravan through the holiday park company. The ferry crossing will be heavily discounted or even free.

    Failing that you can try booking two day returns (usually about £35 - £40 each) or two singles, although they are checking the tickets more thoroughly these days.

    I used GREAT tonight and it worked fine for me - stays must be over 2 nights though - I got each way for £27 and £31 ish so not bad for the summer holidays and not too silly times of day either 7.30 ish at night.

    Hiya All

    Just going off topic.

    Do you need passports and / or photo id's to get to Isle of wight ?

    Was informed that you do. But after searching and landing on several web pages and one of the Tourism Board for Isle of Wight, its says that you don't as its part of the British Isles.

    Any help here would be very appreciated.

    I go several times a year - no passport or photo id needed. Hth

  • Earlier in the year I got an Isle of Wight Tourist Discount Card - just noticed that they have now got ferry discounts listed for visitors and residents - 10% off wightlink routes - iowtouristcard.com
