I rode her on the afternoon crossing from Holyhead to Dublin on March 12, 1999, returning to Holyhead on the night crossing two weeks later. She was pretty new then, I think only about two years, and was up to that point the largest ship I had even been on. Very impressive.

Many years ago as a kid was coming home from a family holiday in France and was on board a P&O boat to Portsmouth (When P&O were doing the long crossings) an was coming back in a Force 10/11 peaking 12 mid channel the decks were closed due to the sever weather and the chairs outside were strapped down. It was ace being a kid it was like being on a roller coaster the ship was going up and side to side we were the only family plus the crew who wasn't being ill everywhere and looking very green. Days later it still felt like we were still on the boat, 😀😄⛴🌬

I did Roscoff to Plymouth with Brittany ferries on board Armourique back in 2012. Started off fun and just a bit choppy. 30 mins in and: stuff falling off shelves, people spewing up everywhere and even worse had no cabin so had to sit around the bars and restaurants smelling and watching it. turned a 6 hour crossing into a 8 hour. At least we could get into Plymouth without waiting outside the port.

I get nauseated in cars sometimes, and took a tablet after the nausea kicked in , and it wasn't very effective...the trick with ALL travel sickness pills/patches is to take them as per instructions on box...usually before travelling.

I remember traveling from Rosslare to Fishguard in 1969 on Duke of Rothesay a few weeks later when returning to Fishguard the weather turned part of the way across with a nasty swell, I was repelled and nauseated by the the disgusting spattering of people’s guts on to deck, you would turn away to another part of the boat only to at first hear another disgusting spattering and splashing noise as someone else spilled their burning stomach acid ridden contents onto another part of the deck, the stench inside the vessel was HORRIFIC, consequently I spent the entire crossing on deck clinging on to the hope that I too would not succumb, I managed not to but the nausea was terrible, people looking pasty and shuffling into corners their companions trying to console them to no avail, from that day on I have been truly horrified by sea sickness, absolutely TERRIFIED of it…that was 1969 in AUGUST, I will never forget the sheer filth of those passengers spattering their guts up in various corners or at the foot of companion ways!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My worst crossing was aboard the mv norsun we were in amsterdam and on the way back to the ship on the coach the wind was ripping branches off the trees, we arrived at the dock and the wind was nearly overturning the coach, after we boarded my wife and i went for an early meal just in case, as they were preparing to leave the dock the wind caught the ship and slammed it into the jetty damaging the cargo door, so we were delayed four hours while two blokes in a cherry picker bashed the door shut with a sledge hammer, when we finally got out to sea it was a force 11 the ship was flooded out with people spewing up, i thought it was curtains that night, the wife was terrified lol.
