Title: 3MA Ferry Prices Turin 2009 Post by: eugene on September 26, 2008, 06:01:51 PM Did a check on ferry prices from Eire/UK and Eire/France.
Rosslare/Fishgaurd car and 2 adults 250euro round trip. :o Cork/Roscoff car and 2 adults 714euro round trip. :o If you travel via Uk,one has higher fuel prices and you have to change your money to sterling+bank charges. :o So which is the best option? :-\ ::) Your comments and views are welcome on this Topic.Eugene Title: Re: 3MA Ferry Prices Turin 2009 Post by: Kennedy of Sixmilebridge on September 27, 2008, 11:10:25 AM Don't forget when you enter the UK you must exit too.
The channel tunnel has some great pricing if booked well in advance. So, to compare costs you must compare the long and relaxing Irish to France crossing, with two crossings via the UK plus UK fuel, plus running the gaultlet of about 6 billion speed cameras en-route to your channel crossing point. Converting currency is not a problem as a regular bank card seems to work in the UK these days. Make sure your bank card has the Maestro logo on it. Maestro supported cards work in France and in Italy too, as I use my regular Ulster bank card to buy my roast chickens, water, and drink, at the local supermarket in Rome. PS Cigarettes are 3.70 euro for 20 in Italy at the moment, so if you are a smoker you could buy the years supply in Italy, thus fully paying for your trip to Turin !

As far as I remember these ferries from Cork and Rosslare as very long sailings could be quicker to go through Uk ;) ;) ;)
