Thanks, I'd not found that.

I'm in the standard accommodation which is available nights of 7th to
19th inclusive, so I'd need to find somewhere else to stay for nights
at the start and end if I travelled with bootc or edward.  Also Jenny
arrives from NZ early on 22nd.  So I'd like to take up your kind offer
of a lift.

Should I book on the ferry separately as a foot passenger, or does it
makes more sense to amend your booking to add me?

It looks like there's a £20 amendment fee if you have an earlybird
ticket (if adding a passenger counts as an amendment - changing a
passenger name doesn't), but not for a standard ticket (until 2 weeks
before the outward sailing).  Even if there's a fee it might be worth it
if you have a cabin with a spare bunk you don't mind me using.  Being on
the same booking might simplify checkin too.

(Feel free to reply off-list as this has probably stopped being of
wider interest...)

Cheers,
