    takes me about 45 mins from southampton then ship to santander on a thursday night 33hrs crossing but from plymouth its 24hr xing but im also a hgv1 driver so used to bigger rvs- -- everybody gets a ticket so you can show them to duty free shop for whatever you want--plusv you can get pet friendly cabins as well

    We love the inside cabins especially with the false window. Also a note about the reclining chair lounge if it feels uncomfortable and it’s not too busy coming back I did see and speak with others that lied on the bench seats opposite the lounge.
    Have a great time

      Thank you Mick and thanks for letting us know about the bench seats as it sounds like a good option if needed. We appreciate it 😊

    travelling by ferry is the best way to travel,no worrying about backage weights and so much easier driving your own vehicle,great video

    So you didn’t turn the gas back on!! Fridge?? Please advise, we use the tunnel, so only 30 minutes with the gas off. Ace channel 😀

      Hi, thank you very much we really appreciate it. 😊
      We left the fridge off for the whole journey as we kept it empty. However, it was never checked to even see if we had turned the fridge off but it was better to be safe and stock up when we arrived. We did take tinned and dry food over to keep us going until we found a supermarket. Happy travels 😊

    We had a smooth crossing like that , only did the overnight trip and stayed up as find it hard to sleep on a moving vehicle , looking forward to the rest of the vlogs

      Hi and thank you, we have the overnight crossing on the way back so giving the recliners ago. It wasn’t the best sleep even with the cabin as you say because it's moving it's a surreal sensation but we did get some. Happy travels 😊

    I was on that crossing last year and as chance would have it, a lady sitting near us was reading The Summons by Grisham that my wife and I had recently read. As a prank, i said in a loud voice in ENGLISH (We usually speak Welsh) "do you remember the guy who ..? "
    And we went on the relate the entire plot within the lady's earshot to spoil her enjoyment of the book. Yeah childish, I know.
    Anyway she turned to us and said that she'd enjoyed our little summary but we were slightly confused and had just described the plot of a completely different story, The Street Lawyer.
    Oh God Ive never felt so thick.

      Thank you and it is very hot at the moment, I think even an Aircon unit will struggle. A couple of good fans will keep the air flowing 😊 Happy travels

      Every time I do the same. I think I exchanged it 3 times last time. Beats me why they can’t use a proper RFID tag rather than magnetic strip cards.
