  • What exactly do you mean by "Also buy a night crossing and they will still let you cross during the day. We have not been stopped yet."

    Sounds odd...
  • The most expensive tickets are for middle of the day crossings. The cheapest are at night like 2am until 5am (because not all the shops and facilities are available). So we usually buy the 4 am crossing but usually do not show up at the ferry until 6.30 am-ish. We do not buy anything on the ferry anyways as it is so expensive on there. They say their drinks are cheap but they are not really. So we don't bother, we just go and find a nice quiet place and snooze for 30 min to an hour.

    On the return we usually book the 12.30 am crossing or 1 am crossing but most of the time we end up at the ferry at around 7 or 8 pm and they always let us on if there is space.

    They know people who cross quite often know of this and P&O so far (last trip was in Feb 07) do not enforce it if you come in a regular car. I guess they rather get you on and over than to have you sitting and blocking their bays with ones car. Health and safety I guess. Also I guess they are glad people still use the ferry. I will never use the tunnel. The idea alone makes me sick, nor can I stand the tube system but the channel tunnel just terrifies me.
