Hi all,i'm going Font in February for a week, and want to avoid any potential delays if any shit kicks off in Calais. Is Dover - Dunkirk a good bet? Am I being absurdly paranoid? Should I try and avoid Dover too?I'd appreciate any thoughts. I get abroad very rarely at the moment, and really dont want to waste any time with travel fuck ups. Cheers!
Am I being absurdly paranoid?
We traveled Dover - Calais and back in August without any delay at all on either side. Plan to head this way again in March/April.
If money isn't an issue though, go for the tunnel, it is more expensive, but you only lose an hour 35 mins (including time shift) and it makes a big difference for the pull down to Font.
How long does that crossing take?
(To add) every now and then I have meetings in the NL and get the ferry instead of flying. More relaxing and I get to go to the on-board disco

I think you mean the moonight lounge Tomtom
I would do Hull Rotterdam/ Zeebrugge every time given the choice. From leaving home to being on holiday in less than an hour.On recent trips we tend to eat in the Brasserie rather than the self service resturant more expensive but you get the table for the evening if your trying to avoid the likes of TomTom on a booze cruise

I've only done the Hull-Zeebrugge crossing once, and it was also the only time I've played Bingo. With massively pissed OAP Geordies on a booze cruise.
I am so fucking ratted!
Portsmouth Le Havre is a bit of a mare. It's ok if you're coming from Devon, or even better Portsmouth, but anywhere else and it's a trial with lots of scenery. Wouldn't recommend it.
