Just read a few posts about munches - and wondered if any groups had gone away on a ferry trip - say to Amsterdam. I note that DSFS do one from Newcastle - when on special offer it is about each for 2 nights (with only a few hours in Amsterdam mind!). It looks as though the Rossyth ferry would be too expensive. Hull is also an option but too far to travel for a quick weekend.
It would be great to meet up again, especially for fellow Scots.
how about the ferry across the mersey? :giggle:

Hi there scotlandlassie,
Some time ago I tried to organise a weekenf trip to Northern Ireland (short ferry ride) with excellent accommodation in holiday cottages on the North Coast near the Giants Causeway (would have been great for all manner of fun inc 'partying) and at a very good rate due to my contact in the hospitality sector, but unfortunately only had 2 interested parties, one of which came across to spend the weekend with me and had a good time I believe. If you fancied trying to get across let me know and I'll help in whatever way I can.

We would do the Amsterdam ferry like a shot, only problem being (like you said) that you only get 6 hours in Amsterdam. We would want at least 24 hours so that we could go to either fun4two or Fata. But to get the 24 hours costs an arm and a leg on the ferry. Much cheaper to fly.
However, maybe you could make some enquires of the ferry company see if you could get a group rate for say October when its not high season. Must include at least 24, preferably 36 hours in Amsterdam. If the price was right, then sure you could get a good few people off here to sign up for it!

just did the Stranraer to Belfast trip - it was a seacat- but still good - bar etc on board and nightlife in Belfast was excellent.
What you need is one cruise ship and oooh say £3000 odd per head and then you should all be sorted :giggle:
when I remember my Amsterdam weekend ( vaguely so it must have been good ) The downsides were it took ages to get to some gawd forsaken ferry port at silly o clock in the morning , hours on the boat, a long long, drive from the dutch port and was better to park up on the outskirts an go the last few miles by bus/tram. If I were to ever go again I think to fly is the best way.
