Dublin on the cheap

[Yoyo]

Got to be in Dublin on 25th September, at 11am for the day.
Which is the cheapest way to get there and back?
Preferably the same day.

Cheers
Mark

Can't swim.

The only real options are ferry or fly.
Which would be cheaper?

Here's an idea you fucking moron, go check flight/ferry website. It'll take you all of five bloody minutes.

Fly, boats are boring and typically pricey, last minute flights are cheaper.

I've heard it's possible to walk under the sea to get there. The sea around Ireland is rich with oxygen, which negates the need to ever breathe, as you can absorb through the skin.

Try it.

Ryanair if you consider self-loading-freight an acceptable class of flying. Aer Lingus if you want to be treated like a human.

Be sure to go drinking in Darndale. Take some little paper Union Jacks to hand out to the locals.

Rail and Sail. Look at either irish ferries or stena. I used to fly, but when you add the costs of getting to and from airports, the amount of time you're sat around doing nothing and the measly baggage allowance (unless you pay a shit tonne more money for checked baggage) it stopped being worth it.

£38 each way gets you your trains to holyhead and your crossing, with as much luggage as you can carry. If you go Stena, pay the extra couple of quid to go on the fast boat. It goes into Dun Laoghaire and you can get the very frequent Dart train for a couple of €s into the centre of dublin. Otherwise it's taxi into dublin centre from the port (probably about the same money wise as getting the fast boat + dart, but not as easy to do).

Other that that, club class is worth it on the boat. About 10quid gets you into a more private lounge (fewer families and kids yelling etc), complimentary snacks (all you can eat) and wine (all you can drink). Definitely worth it if you don't have to arrive sober!

I would also say get the Rail and Sail tickets to Dublin, £38 each way if you buy them in advance or £43 on the day if their is space on the ferry for you.

The buses in Ireland have red dogs on the side anyway.
