thegoth 5 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Well ive booked it now i got a flexi ticket as im not sure who if anyone is coming with me' date=' it cost me £68 i booked it the same as you lot (7am 21/3 and return 8.50pm 24/3) im still not sure if im camping or doing the hotel thing, cos i dont want to be the only one on the camp site !............................ :-p [/quote']Even the standard ticket will let you change passenger names and numbers. See Cadguy's post about putting TBC in as the names. But at least if it snows/rains you can rebook it later in the year.If the missus is going it's safer to assume hotel ;-)TGP.s. I'm waiting to move my flex ticket so as not to help inflate the prices for the rest. Link to post Share on other sites

The ability to change the names of passengers ends a week or so before sailing.I rung speedferries direct, as i said previously, and was told that inseting TBC into the other 4 passenger slots now allows you to change them later when number/names of passengers is known. Lead passenger (driver) must enter name at time of booking. Link to post Share on other sites
