I have been Dover-Calais many times, Stranraer-Belfast and Cairnryan-Larne, done Hull-Rotterdam and when I was a kid I went a education department organised sailing trip across the Channel, that was horrible, the sea sickness was a killer, got to the point we were all sick so much that there was nothing left on our guts to bring up

No idea where it was going, but wasn't in any hurry once it got out to sea.
The Princess Seaways was away like a flash, leaving the Fred Olsen in its wake.
It looked a nice ship, wherever it was off to.

Had some memorable journeys in high seas, but the worst ever crossing was Hull to Rotterdam. Harwich boats took us many times after a proper train journey there and back, always Newcastle - Poole to Sheffield and change for the 'European' which ran from Glasgow and the north west to Harwich cross country.
Has anyone had any adventures or trips on North Sea, English Channel or Irish Sea Ferries - or anything even more exotic?

All part of the fun, proper trains and proper ships!
