So, pro-tip from a local that's taken this trip: When leaving the harbors, it is going to be rocky (basically until you're no longer surrounded by land). It's just the way the boats are designed and how the water cavetates around it in the harbors themselves. Once you hit open water it gets much smoother. When you're still in harbor though, if you like wildlife, I would suggest finding a window or if the weather permits, head up on deck. Pretty much until you're passed the point acconi lighthouse (or what's left of it, basically, the cliff face on the North Sydney side of the harbor that is the last 'close' part of land), you have a really good chance of seeing otters and other sea life around the boat. The otters, especially like messing around in the wakes of the boat before it really gets up to speed. From when you lose sight of the Cape Breton highlands, until you get to Newfoundland, if you look back towards the wake of the ship in the summer you have a very good chance of seeing Dolphins playing in the churned water and sometimes they'll swim along side. If you're lucky you'll also see the occasional pod of whales. The trick for finding whales is to scan the horrizon to see if you can see any spouts. Once you do, watch the area of the water it came from and if you're lucky the whales might put on a show of breeching and tail slapping.

Oh my goodness, the food at the Black Spoon Bistro is phenomenal 😊

So, to explain why the museum closed: It's a non-profit organization that relies on the student employment program to run. The government generally only allows 8-10 weeks for the summer employment of students (starting June) so thats why you see a lot of those smaller things closing. They just don't have the funds to employ people full time. This video, despite being posted only 3 weeks ago, is also out of date as there is now a new ship that does the Argentina run (just started a few weeks ago).

Your Airbnb host is a huge slumlord around Sydney. He has treated new comers like they were subhumans. I’m surprised but glad you had a positive experience with him.

Hey love ur vids❤ my family is actually planning to go on this exact trip😅😅

Dude, great fucking video! But I do hate it was short😂 My wife and and myself are planning to go that way next year on my motorcycle. Have a question ( and if I think of something else please bear with me) if I'm not able to get a cabin do you think the passenger chairs/seats will be comfortable for that 16-hour ride? And since we are coming from the US riding the motorcycle do they provide blankets and pillows on the ship? Thank you

Im a local i actully seen the road i live on in north Sydney i was shocked to see this video im glad you had a good experience but i wouldn't say its the best place to have a vacation everything here is over priced

If you bring a car on this ferry - are you allowed to access your car, or do you have to stay away from the parking area?

Is this on the newest ship of their fleet that was delayed for a month? Is this a rougher ride than the short ferry ?

No discount when they know you're only going to use one bed??? Hell, I'd have slept on all of them a few hours at a time. What the hell, you paid for them, may as well use what you paid for.
