If we booked a deal for 4 and paid for 4 would it be fine for only 3 to go. Myself, partner and 8 year old are looking to book, we understand we would need to pay for 4 however.

Debbie, 11:37, 22/08/19

Hi Debbie,

Thanks for getting in touch!

I've spoken to the team at DFDS and they've confirmed it wouldn't be a problem to book for 3 people after buying a voucher for 4, but no further discount would be offered.

I hope this helps!

Is it possible to book the return for a few days later? Allowing for a longer stay in Amsterdam?

Allyson, 09:38, 21/09/19

Hi Allyson,

Thanks for getting in touch.

I'm afraid this deal cannot be extended, but I'm sorry if this means the deal is no longer suitable for you.

I hope this answers your question, though.
