Does anyone know would it be cheaper now to book a ferry to the uk for july or wait closer the time?
They are all using Ryanair techniques now. Not such a problem if you only use them on and off but on a regular basis it has become a pain as many of the past benefits are being erodedBe careful with Cork=Swansea, they are using Ryanair techniques, the price you see is not what you pay, there are extras, like everyone must book a cabin or pullman seat which adds to the price
That is steep but I see you have a bridge in construction. I would suggest those prices are the kick of a dying business, last stop for ripoff city. The major point however is that neither Romania or Bulgaria have the problem of being an island. There are no other ways out of Ireland other than boat or plane. Ryanair alread proved more people will use at better cost, the ferry companies claim to do this but I for one can almost never access their "supposed" low cost fares.Try the Danube ferry from Calafat (Romania) to Vidin (Bulgaria) a distance of 2km. Costs about €40 for a car one way.
The convenience of ferries is the ability to throw all your kit in a car and off you go without the airport hassle. Fly drive can be cheaper but depends on how many are travelling.Plan is dublin or dun laoighre to holyhead
