Re: Ferry bookings .... Refunds ??
I’m just about to try and cancel three and a half grands worth of train tickets for a railway journey to Northern Italy via France, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland. Eleven different trains x four passengers. That’s going to be fun, as I’ve paid all up front. Vouchers are of no use as was to be a last trip for my Oldman, who probably will never be in a position/well enough to undertake such a trip again.

Open your eyes and you see what is in front of you, open your mind and you see a bigger picture but open your heart and you see a whole new World.

I've had an email from Brittany Ferries saying that if I accept the voucher and use it for a future booking, they will give me an extra 15% off the booking. Someone at BF is good at PR

Re: Ferry bookings .... Refunds ??
I was listening to a fiance expert on the telly box, yesterday. This topic was raised, about installments and final payment. The basic answer was: if you don't pay the final or any installment, then you are breaking the contract, resulting in no chance of a refund. The 'expert' said the only way of getting a refund is to pay all the installments.
I'm not an expert mind, just telling people what I heard.
I'm in the same err boat (sorry ) but paid in full, on the economy deal £650

As I know you’re not a troll - this statement makes me very sad for the society we live in. It won’t be Covid 19 that destroys our world as we know it but human sentiments like this.johnnyboxer wrote: ↑Sat Apr 04, 2020 10:48 pmFuck’emMonster wrote:Coronavirus: Ferries need financial help to survive pandemic, says trade association https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52166995

Re: Ferry bookings .... Refunds ??
We’ve got 6 x one way ferry bookings for this summer and will take the vouchers. I don’t think the French government will let Brittany Ferries go bust - it’s not “fuck em” Britain
Brittany ferries have been very helpful in the past to us with vouchers (even when we’ve cancelled). Perhaps, given the circumstances, they will allow transfers and people can sell the vouchers they are unable to use.

I have had a few things like that over time and always excellent to deal with. I think they look after people well. I used them 6 or 7 times in the last year and due to weather 4 disruptions well looked after.

Re: Ferry bookings .... Refunds ??
Maybe they do and maybe they don't.
We were with them one year and the crew went on strike and we were supposed to get a ferry back here from St Malo.
They put us on a ferry from Calais to Dover with another company though they did refund us money for a stay in a hotel and fuel to Calais.
Not a very pleasant drive from St Malo to Calais as it's a fair old trek.
