Thumbs down Brittany Ferries

Just tried to book for a Spain trip next may, first dates Portsmouth to Santander Tuesday 15th May outgoing okay, Bilbao to Portsmouth return Saturday 26th May ...no motorcycle space??? Is there something on that weekend.

Anyhow, came forward one week, all ok,
Asked if they did discount for any organisations, biking, NHS etc..
Answer, no
I thought most ferries did some discount this far in advance and by phone?

I'm just getting organised to book Portsmouth to Bilbao for August, just got sent this from NCN, http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/Ri...CN%2BQuarterly
It would seem if you want to go to Spain then NO discounts.

Surely the reason you go there is to ride the bike ?

We ALWAYS go via Dunkerque and ride down ( or indeed drive down if we go in the motorhome )

Much more fun to ride than sit in a bloody cabin !

We're doing Denmark, Northern Germany & the Harz mountains next year (2012)

Looking forward to it, as we havent been to europe for 2 years now...

Cant find any discounts on Harwich to Esjberg either yet... That normaly changes after Christmas though.

Cheers,

Rolfy
