Overnight Ferry crossing - Irish Sea

[MeerkatOnMyWall]

Daft questions but I've never done the overnight one before. I know the ferry has lots of facilities e.g. cinema, bars etc. Are all these closed overnight? Boat gets into port 6.30am. Is there breakfast served?

Are you talking about Liverpool to Dublin?

The bar is open in the evening when you get on, don't know how late, I had a couple of drinks when I went on the ferry and went to bed about 11 pm. Didn't know there was a cinema.

6.30 am is more like the time that they expect eveyone off the ferry by, rather than an arrival time.

They knock on your cabin door just after 4 am very loudly as I think they expect you in your car ready to drive off by about 5. Breakfast is available then, but I couldn't face it.

It's all self service buffet for both the evening meal and breakfast and everything except alcohol was free when I did it.

It isn't the nicest experience in the world but I found it fascinating watching all the lorries manouvering in tiny tight spaces and reversing down ramps etc - very skilled. Passengers were almost all lorries on the one I went on, with maybe about 10/20% cars.
