Have Speedferries overcome the limited height problems ?

We are sticking with Norfolkline mainly because they do not take foot passengers nor coaches at the moment.Also no problems with height or length.Standard motorhome fare of £88 return all this year up to 7m and 9 passengers.The three brand new ferries are due in September'05 December'05 and July'06.Theyare to have separate decks for tourist and freight,and three restaurants.We rarely travel on a return crossing we have booked and they don't charge for changing.

Thats just one of the reasons that I like the P&O Litenite crossings, appart the fact that they suit my travel arrangments, they tend not to have coaches or footpassengers and are generally quieter.

I always used to travel P£O Dover/Calais, mainly for the flexibility of crossings and you could get a fairly decent price through the Caravan Club, however prices have crept up over the past few years and this year we have 'jumped ship' and gone to Norfolkline, although a longer crossing the price is great at £88 rtn with no unreasonable dimension restrictions and the option of jumping on an earlier ferry with no cost penalty. We did look at Speedferries who have great prices but they are implementing a 2mtr width limit this year (I was refused booking at 2.10 mtrs wide) which effectively cancels out all coachbuilt motorhomes. As far as i'm concerned, this is their loss and Norfolklines gain! If P&O genuinely reduce their prices to an acceptable level across the board then i'd go back to them straight away.
