You've got to be kidding. That's not at all violent for the English Channel or North Sea. Ferries between Dover and Calais, or Hook van Holland and Harwich continue through proper storms, not just a bit of swell and wind, before they even consider cancellations.
You havent lived it. This isnt rough. Tables didnt topple, you didnt strap yourself down, or wedge yourself into a bunk with a lifejacket. And this looks like SeaFrance anyway, who arent the best at keeping to a timetable (unless it involves them scheduling a strike).
funny, despite what the ending said. the smiles and laughing says you had a good time. i love taking big ferries (we dont have them around here sadly), but rough weather makes ANY boat ride more fun if you ask me.
Falaise was very small, just 2416 tons. She was old-fashioned - lots of wood inside. And she could roll and pitch like crazy. I wasn't crew - only 15 at the time. My Dad was a Sealink Master, my brother was Falaise's 2nd engineer. I went over with a schoolfriend whose dad was Sealink Newhaven's boss. Free trips whenever we wanted, but we weren't expecting what we got. Our dads took us down to the ship and told us we really shouldn't go as it was so rough - so of course we did.
@AndrewGilbert56 So it really was as bad as i remembered..If the person who made this video had been on Falaise, then he may have known the meaning of ''hellish crossing'' Your brother must have had very good sea-legs! I think I have been on her before, as we used to do the Newhaven Dieppe route every year, but the rough crossing was very memorable, and it stuck in my mind.new big ferries are nothing like her!
Respond to this video... oh yes, the ''craziness of youth''we went on a school trip to Oostende, and the ferry then was a bit rough, but we were all so excited, we didn't have time to get sick..but I remember a poor student teacher looking green. That ferry was like a troop ship, wood slatted benches, and no luxury at all [1969] . To think our WW1 &2 Troops made these crossings too, not knowing if they would ever come home again..a ''true'' hellish crossing...God Bless them!
@Oakleaf700. I did a crossing in Falaise in a F10/11 storm. No passengers or cars, just crew. Bumpy, but not as bad as the day before when I went over to Dieppe in Caledonian Princess. Same conditions but broken stabilisers.
This film is indeed quite a gentle crossing on a much larger ship. Landlubbers have no idea.........
@AndrewGilbert56 I heard Falaise was a steamer, once.A very tiny ship, and I remember the barman, when I went to buy some chocolate saying ''don't eat it , dear, it will only come up again'' so I listened to him, and saved it til i got home![a bit melted] Was the ship as ''rocky''as I remember her? Mum said the loos were not nice.! a woman was nearly dying of seasickness..The vid here is as calm as anything! they should have gone on Falaise to know what ''Rough'' was !! Were you crew??
@AndrewGilbert56 Maybe the person who made the film was being ''ironic?''-the sea here was not even showing ''white horses'' ! My dad was the opposite-when the ship was rolling and pitching, he'd say ''like a millpond'', or:''this would not even slide the Captain's Rum off the table''.BUTDad had done his National Service in the Navy-no moaning allowed!
Sorry, but this just looks like a normal day at sea to me. What do you expect? It is a ship at sea. The ocean has waves. In the North Atlantic we had 70 foot seas and the ship was under water as much as it was on top. I guess for people who have never been to sea this is rough.
Oh my word! seriously, this is really calm.When it is truly rough, the decks are all shut to passengers.-and modern ferries are huge. as a kid I crossed the Newhaven/Dieppe route on a tiny old 1947 ferry called ''Falaise'' and this was in a real storm, and all outer decks were closed.for a glimpse of what most people term ''rough'' see ''Ferry off coast of New Zealand''. THAT is a ferry from hell!
??? wheres the bloody waves. I have been on the baltic sea and believe me. a storm on the authomn on the baltics you wont go outside.. Because that´s the last time anybody will see you alive (10m waves is common on the baltic sea) I bet it was maybe 3-4m waves on videoclip.
@xirux01 high five for beeing on a ferry in the baltic when the wind decides to push you around on the deck x) Yeah agreed,storm in the baltic and you go outside,thats when things can get ugly really fast. haha,this,well surely was a rough ferry ride indeed but been on the baltic in some 30+ m/s then the ferry will make you tuble as videos cant be made steady LOL been there donne that ^^
This is a joke right? Try the ferry crossing between Newfoundland and Nova Scotia Canada, Gulf of St.Lawrence, at times when there is a storm to experience a rough ferry ride.
@Rockywaves73 Holy jesus, what a terrible crossing. I used to go every summer to go to cape breton and we used to go freaking argentia every single time. It was always delayed and people were always puking. One trip in particular, was 17 hours long. I swear, my sister was the only person on the whole boat that wasn't puking her guts out. It was a nightmare, and I was amazed at how many people can get seasick when the boat is rocky enough. (... everyone!)
that is more than normal, the delay was that to reduce the effect of the weather the captain reduced revs or pitch. and generally, normal people do not venture out of their cabins when the is too much movement. if you end up walking into walls it is your fault.
I went to Belgium with my school last year. On the way back on the ferry the weather was horrible. It was pitch black outside and there were people vomiting. But, we had fun trying to play cards out on deck in all that wind.
Thanks for the video, oh Honorable Chairman of PussyLand. This was the most epically dramaticized video I've seen in months. I never thought taking a ferry was such a hard experience for you.
Unfortunately, The captian wasn't know about to check the weather, before starting the shiping. they've been forgetten further check the first before we cancel it. What a worst isn't!!!
What waves? This looks like a regular fall/winter/early spring ferry ride where I'm from. When it gets bad, they won't even let you out on the top decks. Give me a break.
@DanielThomasVideos Totally agreed. I've been on a ferry to Newfoundland during hurricane Andrew. That was fucked! This is standard ferry experience to me.
Sea state- moderate to rough from what I see, which is pretty normal conditions for there. You want to travel in a storm 10 in winter. Then, you won't have the opportunity to go on deck safely....
Ferry journey from hell? I've seen stonger winds and bigger waves from a fart in a bath! Try being on the Pentland Firth crossing in January after a huge storm! Then you'll see what a journey from hell is!=P
Another pack dog mentality comment. Even wolves are more civil than that. I've been on a ferry in a storm and its bloody scary, even if its not like the latest tsunami video you might have watched. God I thought women were more catty than men. I guess I was wrong.
Personally i like the sea to be like that. At least when im confident that the ship im inside is up to the challenge and the crew know what they are doing. If those 2 factors are OK, a weather like that is fun.
That reminds me of greece....We were on a ferry and the sea was very rough. They had to fix the cars with ropes... As we went on board I was very nervous but later it was fun...but not for many others^^
I wouldn´t quite call this the ferry from hell. I think it´s a litle bit of an exaggeration. It´s more like a ferry going through rough seas and making everyone on it sick..
we get the falling over, and wind, and vomiting on like every boat ride to go to Liverpool for the Isle of Man .. try and go on one of our boats everytime you wanna go to England!
Ferries are fantastic fun and everything I've seen there looked like a jolly good ride...you want a real horror story, check out stormy ferry runs up fae Aberdeen to Shetland or Orkney...
I generally enjoy ferry crossings myself, but I live or have travelled in areas where the weather has tended to co-operate and not be nearly so hostile. The one time I got really sick was in the Caribbean on a crossing from Grenada to Carriaacou Island. But that was a small boat trying to do 45 knots and it was just just bouncing up and down something insane.
My god what a moaning git! A ride like that would be great in my eye's. You really want have nothing to happen when you have a holiday that you can laugh about later.
oh my god that looked really bad..at one point i thought that guy shuffled a little with the unbelivable gigantic movments of the ship...it was rolling & pitching that much that a poor passenger couldnt drink his pint of beer without getting a dribble on his jacket
The Calmac ferry to the outer Hebrides has been out in worse conditions. I know, as I have bene on it in a storm - and that was scary. Flickering lights, 20 degree lists - vehicles strapped down with chains to prevent uneven weight distribution!!!!!!!
Hahahahaha!!!! What a pussy! Before I lived in orkney I might have thought this was rough but jesus Bit of swell and wind, would not even stop me going outside for a fag after having some dinner!
Haha, that's not rough at all. The channel is regularly like that. I've not made many channel crossings, but last time I came back from Le Havre it was choppier than that and I didn't think much of it....
Had it been really stormy, they wouldn't have let you outside...
That ain't rough. Nhava sheva to Durban on a 13500GT container ship during the south west monsoon, THAT is rough. This barely qualifies as mildly choppy. Landlubbers, bless 'em :P
I am a Captain of a passenger Ferry off the coast of Maine in the U.S., and it looked like you had a bit of an unpleasant trip. It was unfortunate to see all the rude comments made about your video. Apparently they all seem to be so much more experienced with rough seas that they attempted to belittle yours.
I found it interesting from a "passengers" perspective.
I hate how there is always some jerk who decides to puke on the floor, not thinking about who has to clean it up, and making everyone else sick in the process.
Being seasick isn't a decision, but choosing the floor as a target certainly is. Why not take some motion sickness medication, get a bag from the crew, or simply throw up overboard?
I have to have an injection before I get on a boat cos I get very seasick. The injection makes me very drowsy and almost drunk but I do not care - I HATE being sick, I'd rather break my leg
I was on 1 from Aberdeen to Lerwick, going to the folk festival. Waves were so huge that 1 picked the boat right up and threw her down onto the beach. Then an earthquake split the ground and we were sucked under and spat out on Boni beach, Australia. Then a typhoon blew us to Manilla. Then a twister lifted and dumped us in the centre of Havana. A monsoon happened, and a volcano and then Hurricane Hamish blew us all the way to Lerwick.
And we hadn't even stopped playing tunes in the ferry bar.
i was on a cruise liner coming from france to southampton across the bay of biscaye and wee sailed overnight in a gale force 10 storm and that was bloody frightening. the ship i was on weight 80,000 tons and had 14 floors on it and it was getting thrown about like mad.
i was on this ferry called the lady of man in a gail force 9 leaving liverpool to go to the isle of man wich is wer i liv nd wen we were sailing through it the..... caption made an anoucement to say we are now in a gail force 12 basically "he sed stay in your seats and go to sleep' and tht night we nerly capzised because windows shattered and a man broke his arm also there was people prayin and these metal plates we bolted to sum of the window framed i was not sik bcuz im a manxman.
Nothing compared to the Northlink ferry from Shetland, one night the waves were coming past the windows, the seats in the bar were flying around as were the bins. Only one Barman to speak to. 100 other passengers got drunk and went to bed whilst I sat and filmed it.
Not a good night.
They set sail because it was for the shift change..
The only thing even remotely "vomit-inducing" about this video was the shaky camera. That was a bloody millpond! :)

The Calmac ferry to the outer Hebrides has been out in worse conditions. I know, as I have bene on it in a storm - and that was scary. Flickering lights, 20 degree lists - vehicles strapped down with chains to prevent uneven weight distribution!!!!!!!

As someone who done this many times in my life, my best answer is to sleep.
Go to your bed and sleep, it the only answer!

Haha, that's not rough at all. The channel is regularly like that. I've not made many channel crossings, but last time I came back from Le Havre it was choppier than that and I didn't think much of it....
Had it been really stormy, they wouldn't have let you outside...

That ain't rough. Nhava sheva to Durban on a 13500GT container ship during the south west monsoon, THAT is rough. This barely qualifies as mildly choppy. Landlubbers, bless 'em :P

I am a Captain of a passenger Ferry off the coast of Maine in the U.S., and it looked like you had a bit of an unpleasant trip. It was unfortunate to see all the rude comments made about your video. Apparently they all seem to be so much more experienced with rough seas that they attempted to belittle yours.
I found it interesting from a "passengers" perspective.

Indeed, that wasn't a pleasant trip it seems. But you can't argue with me if I claim it wasn't a storm!

I hate how there is always some jerk who decides to puke on the floor, not thinking about who has to clean it up, and making everyone else sick in the process.

I don't think anyone 'decides' to puke on the floor (unless they are buliemic) with sea sickness it just happens
bus140808 2 years ago
Being seasick isn't a decision, but choosing the floor as a target certainly is. Why not take some motion sickness medication, get a bag from the crew, or simply throw up overboard?
gschjetne 2 years ago
I have to have an injection before I get on a boat cos I get very seasick. The injection makes me very drowsy and almost drunk but I do not care - I HATE being sick, I'd rather break my leg

I've had much rougher overnight crossings to the Shetlands mate , that was just a bit of movement.

I was on 1 from Aberdeen to Lerwick, going to the folk festival. Waves were so huge that 1 picked the boat right up and threw her down onto the beach. Then an earthquake split the ground and we were sucked under and spat out on Boni beach, Australia. Then a typhoon blew us to Manilla. Then a twister lifted and dumped us in the centre of Havana. A monsoon happened, and a volcano and then Hurricane Hamish blew us all the way to Lerwick.
And we hadn't even stopped playing tunes in the ferry bar.

You cannot blame the ferry company, they dont control the weather.
I was on an Antarctic cruise and we where hit by a cyclonic depression in the Drake Passage and had waves soak the promande deck even!

i was on a cruise liner coming from france to southampton across the bay of biscaye and wee sailed overnight in a gale force 10 storm and that was bloody frightening. the ship i was on weight 80,000 tons and had 14 floors on it and it was getting thrown about like mad.
was probarly the scariest night of my life

Looks like a pretty normal crossing to me,(what were you expecting)
When you board a ship "expect some water and a few waves"
tony0966 3 years ago 2
Does anyone know if it`s true that rather
than extend the stabilizers to make the ride
more comfortable for the passengers,especially
the elderly,the captain will bow to the owners
and let people suffer in order to save fuel?
Apparently,stabilizers slow the ship,thereby requiring
more fuel to get to the ships destination.
If this is true,then the owners should be forced to ride on every trip to find out how
it feels to sail in brutal storms.

ahshucks they would just hire someone to ride for them.the top guy cant be on every boat.

bunch of pansies! Weather like this makes a boat ride more fun (not that it isn't anyway) in my opinion.

try working in the north sea you hate bad weather. Coming from Shetland thats just a breeze nothing more.
sandwickman 3 years ago 3
Nothing compared to the Northlink ferry from Shetland, one night the waves were coming past the windows, the seats in the bar were flying around as were the bins. Only one Barman to speak to. 100 other passengers got drunk and went to bed whilst I sat and filmed it.
Not a good night.
They set sail because it was for the shift change..
