It is one of the roughest bits of water in the world. The night crossings are strange as after 10 pm it is totally deserted. Except for the top deck and the couch sleepers -very comfortable believe me.
Loved this video! Some observations from me (Matt) 1. Brook really needs to get off the ciggies 2. Julius is truly German for eating muesli for 10 years straight 3. Brook might be the GOAT of sleeping, truly a special skill 4. Have to agree, Julius was extra perky on this one
Thank you for this video!! I’m doing this trip but in reverse leaving Devonport 2nd of may me and my little Corolla and I’ve been searching these kind of videos for months! And by far yours is the most welcoming knowledgeable and helpful 🎉 and I think I’ve watched over 20 now 🤗
Too kind ❤️ enjoy the trip, it’ll be fine. The staff are great and will have you sorted. The whole process is a well oiled machine. Hopefully you get calm seas!
@@brookandjuliusthat would be lovely I’m doing the night sail with a cabin so should get a decent night sleep then driving to appolo bay all the up to Adelaide and back
I reckon the night sail and cabin are the way to go! Just wake up on the other side 😅 that’ll be a great trip. We really enjoyed the Great Ocean Road and SA
Hi, Just watched your video, which is very informative and entertaining. Good, to see young people enjoying life. Cheers, and thanks for the effort put in. Kind Regards.
I went maybe 2 years back and took the motorbike; it was blowing a gale at Geelong and everyone was making seasickness jokes. Had a very pleasant 1m swell that rocked me to sleep overnight. On the way back 2 weeks later i rode through and boarded the boat in a storm and the trip back was only a fraction bigger at like 1.5-2m swell and slept like a baby. I definitely got lucky both directions because i do get seasick!
Thanks for this. This didn't look near as bad as the thousands of reviews I've read. Maybe you should've shown footage of bathroom floors to give us an idea of what was going on there. Do people really not consider they might be seasick? I've never been seasick in my life but I'd still go prepared, bcos the alternative sounds deeply unpleasant
The new ones haven't arrived yet, both old ones. The little bar does nice toasties and mini pizzas....That was still a mild trip. it gets a lot worse than that, but it also gets a lot smoother.
yes looks like unfortunately can be quite unsettling if queasy based on luck of the weather 12:19 poor guy and the couple on the left had to look away. ive been there, its a terrible experience especially knowing it won't stop until the journey finishes.
Brook I envy you just being able to sleeping on that chair for hours! NOT looking forward to our trip in two weeks, I’m sure I will get sea sick 😅 is the cinema for free?
She can honestly sleep anywhere 😂 you guys will be fine! Maybe get some sea sickness tablets though. Are you doing night sail or day sail? Cinema wasn’t free but I think it was pretty cheap. We were originally going to do that to pass time but the movie choices weren’t great. Hopefully some better ones on the way back 🤞
Haha! I am fortunately a ‘sleep in any situation’ type of person which has worked in my favour. However, you should be ok. We didn’t have any sea sickness tablets and we were ok (just wasn’t pleasant), so maybe if you have those you’ll be fine! And the cinema is $10 per adult and I think the website has what movies they’ll be showing.
@@brookandjuliusgood to know. I was thinking that watching movies back to back might be a good way to kill time; but not if I have to pay. I'd just download and watch my own entertainment like I do any time I travel (best time to catch up on that stuff imo - when you're stuck without anything else you could be doing; altho I do like just wandering the desks and maybe finding a place in the sun to curl up. Don't even require a deck chair, done that a time or 2)

Hahaha you guys always leave great comments and this one is no different 😂😂. A great summary of the video haha
Wow lot of pressure for the next video!@@brookandjulius
Don’t envy you for the trip! Very often challenging!
Thanks… still have to go back too…

I think it’s just luck if the draw really! It was much smoother coming back
The new ones haven’t arrived yet. The first of the new ships due to arrive late this year followed by like 2-3 months of fitting out

The dinner options on the way back were a lot better. I’m sure the new boats will be a lot nicer

Yeah it’s not the most enjoyable experience… maybe a cabin overnight next time 🤔
Thanks for the vid, if I ever visit Tassie, I'll make sure to book the night ferry🤣🤣
The night sail and cabin is the way to go I reckon!
I love it circle audios off my family the amazing videos I never have
Thanks Rhys! You watched it early, I thought you were going to watch it in the morning!
Hi guys, just wondering if you're allowed to stay in your van or access your vehicle during the journey? Thanks
Hey! No you can’t stay in it or get to it until you get to the other side

Gets me that they still allow EVs on that thing. A non extinguishable fire in the middle of Bass Strait at night would not be a good thing.
Wouldn’t be great for sure, probably a very low chance though

I envy anyone who can sleep anywhere
I’m going on the spirit of Tasmania in January 2025
Pretty dumb to have things in the fridge 😂
Not really when you live in it full time and know they have a bin at the check in 🤔
Get on with the story morning glory we want to see this tub.skip the prattle.
