Trip to Sunny Spain. Ferry question

[Fbyte]

Hi,

Wonder if someone can throw me some lights javascript:emoticon('')

I'm planning going to Spain end of October and I'm wondering if I should take the ferry to Santander, or just going through France.

Looking online, I can see the average price for the return trip Plymouth <-> Santander is around 500 quid for a cabin.

Question: When you book a cabin (1/2 or 4 berth) that's it means that you need to share the cabin with someone else, or you just get the whole cabin for yourself? Never been in a Ferry overnight so not sure how it works.

Cheers,
Jav

I bought a one-way ticket to Santander for £155. It's much cheaper if you don't need a full cabin and just put up with a reclining seat.

I worked out the cost of driving down through france including fuel, petrol, tyre wear and accomodation to be more than £155 so it makes sense to me. I will be riding back up through France though, because I want to explore there too

Thanks for the reply.

I'm looking at the route through France, I guess it can be easly done in 3 or 4 days, 300 miles per day.

400 quid doesn't look too expensive if is the full cabin, but it is kind of a waste of space javascript:emoticon('')
Would check the price for a seat, but it could be nasty and not too comfy

know what you mean Fbyte re comfort. Do you mean 4 in a cabin £100 each gets a bed?

I guess I would give them a call, maybe I'm been to optimistic thinking that paying 400 quid I would get the whole cabin just for me, but otherwise , if they charge 400 pounds for each berth in a 4 berth cabin, that would be like an arm robbery javascript:emoticon('')

Thanks Nav4, that's exactly what I needed to hear

Would check the france route, I think it could be a good idea going the trip to spain by france and them come back with the Ferry, I've been told that the return trip is always less enjoyable
