Rail and Sail Bitches!

Ok, so this info has been scattered around the blog a little too willy nilly for my taste (mainly my fault, by the way)... Here goes nuthin folks...

This be da website you wanna go to... http://www.stenaline.co.uk/ferry/book-now/....

On the right of the screen you will see the book/get quote area... this is where you wanna be! Go ahead and choose the Rail and Sail option from the drop down list... The route you want to select is Harwich-Hook of Holland (the last choice on the list)! After you are diverted to the next screen, go ahead and scroll down and hit the Book Now option...

So this first part you wanna choose your dates of travel, which i understand them to be the 24th of may... also choose AMSTERDAM CENTRAL from the outward dropdown list (the london/liverpool option above that is perfect) and we are goin for a one way trip ladies... the departure time you want to choose is 06.18... the site has all its time in MILITARY time... so, if your question is does that mean 6.18 am... then, my answer is, hell yes that say 6.18 am... once thats done... hit next...

Print or email yourself the itinerary... they wont let you continue if you dont do one or the other... hit next... and the first part of the trip is booked!

now for the sail part of it... check that the date that comes up is the right one... and hit search! you want to choose the Stena britannica the leaves at 0900 (am), then hit next!

on the home stretch now chicas.... adult and student tickets are the exact same price... so choose to your hearts content whether you preffer to be a student or adult... you can calculate the price if you want, but its gonna be 35 euros for sure (roughly 55 usd, and if its not 35 e, then you did something wrong)

then... to register or not to register... if you do, then they will save your booking info... if you dont-they will get rid of it when your done with your purchase... choose as you see fit!

Add your info... ie name, gender, nationality, etc...

the rest is pretty self explanatory...

and then we hit a small snag, which i do believe can be easily solved... the tickets need to be sent to a british address... Lurn, will you find out from pearl if she is down to let us use her address to send our rail/sail tickets to? and thats about it y'all... love ya all

Shurn, YOU rule! I got a bit confused with the damn site though...it kept diverting me back to the rail n sail main page, so I added the link (that says "click BOOK NOW") to the page for the rail n sail to holland.

If anyone else gets confused with the site, try that link!

xo
thank you shrn!

also, I can put $ down for everyone if thats the best plan...or can we manage to ask everyone to reserve their tix by SATURDAY?

thanks guys! you both rock the shit, and rule respectively... heee heee... thats a super awesome idea lurn... but you should know that you aren't putting a "down" like with the hostels... its like almost $350 for 6 tickets... if you got that, then awesome!... if not then tix should definitely be booked asap... also, dont forget you guys can call me anytime if you get confused with this site... it is definitely a bitch! peace love and chicken grease...

hey hey! it's pearl! so i just did the whole rail and sail thingy and the prices that come up for me were in pounds, not euros. is that what came up for you all? if so - good for you, that's a good deal. if not, £35 translates to about $70. not much more than you expected to pay but thought you may like to know. if i came with you all to amsterdam it would cost me £80 round trip from london. not bad. i'll check out flying prices too. how much are you paying each for the hostel?i would love love love to come - amsterdam is my favourite city in europe! but money isn't flowing my way right now. anyway... how can i add to the blog? wanna give you some more TIPS!
