Ferry supplement

Tarry

Thank you.
What exactly are you paying for? Paying my cheapest one yet for crossing later this year (a fiver?) but I have often wondered what it was even for? I guess it was because it was a Sunday crossing but never actually found out the answer and have often wondered (for at least 7 years )

Don't understand the question, can you rephrase the situation please.
Which ferry company, which route?
I use P&O via Dover several times a year and have never paid a 'supplement'.

Tarry

Cairnryan to Larne PO but have paid similar for Holyhead - Dublin. You have an added charge but it doesn't say what it is for and have been curious for last 7 years. lol
I never paid any supplements PO Dover to Calais though and I used to use them 4 times or so a year.
I don't want to fly so not fussed about the supplement just wonder what its even for

Why not ask the ferry company rather than a bunch of strangers on the internet?

Tarry

I RARELY ask questions on here just was curious (and bored on a day off work)
Never mind.
Have a good day. But that same thing could be asked by many questions on here...why ask on a forum anyway? Most things can be googled (I have tried) but sometimes it is NICE to ask online for different things.
After all why use forums? Why are we even here for? Is there any point of forums anyway if why ask a bunch of strangers anyhow?

Rather than flouncing and deleting your post, why not find out the answer as suggested and then update with the answer? Then when someone else is looking, the information will already be here.

They mention a supplement a few times in their general terms and conditions and then for offer terms and conditions.

The offer pages seems to suggest supplements might be charged if not travelling wed-sun. Although not sure if thats linked to hull crossings. And/or for single passengers as prices apparently are for 2 passengers in stop over (not sure how applicable that is going to NI)

The general t's & c's suggest theres supplement for difference in vehicles and other supplements if booking on day of travel.

Thank you. Just wondered what you where paying for as wasn't clear. I had too much time on my hands yesterday having day off work,
