    I was obviously very fortunate; I travelled Aberdeen to Lerwick three weeks ago and the reverse crossing a week later and the sea was like glass both ways. I found everything about NorthLink (not North Star!) to be excellent. Maybe foot passengers who book a cabin do not get a voucher for entry to the Magnus Lounge; certainly when boarding with a car you do. The Magnus Lounge gives waiter service and one free drink.

    I did that many years ago, in the harbour you could shaved with the reflection from the sea, it was that calm, got on board still tied up and one of my companions felt sea sick, different strokes for different folks.My first crossing Harwich to Hamburg i took advice from everyone in the shared cabin, went the restaurant had sauerkraut mash and Würstchen in splendid isolation. Went back to the cabin where six others were either speaking to the divine, or to the toilet.

    I'm in NZ with some Shetland Island ancestors apparently, even without that, it's always intrigued me. Thank you for your video. I learned a lot. A little trivia I learned recently is that there are three Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Finland, and Denmark) and five Nordic Countries (Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark), never realized the difference before. Most interesting.

    • @ClairesFootsteps

    I have taken the same journey one October during rough weather.
    I made sure I had something in my stomach by eating on board the ferry about 45 minutes before departure and then took my first dose of Stugeron (the sea sickness pill of choice for my late father who was a keen yachtsman).
    I chose the Macaroni Cheese with chips and plenty of water (in the worst case scenario that ‘what goes down may have to come up again’)
    After dinner, I walked around between the bar and the aft deck from where you can see the horizon in the moonlight and / or the sea by the lights on the ship or by the light of the midsummer sun. It was rolling and bumpy but it was bracing and actually quite fun trying to walk across the deck which one minute felt like I was walking uphill at an angle and the next, I was running downhill. By the time I felt tired, it was beginning to be too difficult to navigate the deck (and stairs) anyway so I headed for bed.
    Fortunately I had been given an outside (window) cabin amidships. Amidships is the most comfortable part of the ship where you will feel the least motion so book one if you can.
    I did feel the odd bump and shudder during the night as it pitched and rolled. When the alarm on my phone went off for me to take another dose of Stugeron, I got out of bed, had a look out of the window but all I could see were the waves closest to the ship. I checked our position on my phone and found that we were just off Fair Isle. My cabin was going up and down so I went back to bed. I woke up in the morning to much the same view as you did and ate a very nice breakfast in the cafe before leaving the ferry.

    • @ClairesFootsteps
      @ClairesFootsteps  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Yeah you dont want to be forward on a ship in bad weather. When i joined the navy in 2000 (no longer serving) my first ship was HMS Guernsey and my mess (accomodation) was right at the front of the ship and my bed was positioned so that my head pointed foward and feet towards the stern, absolutely horrendous in rough weather even with rough weather straps to strap you in lol

    I loved rough North Sea crossings to the Hook or Hamburg as the restaurants were often very quiet, Hamburg in very rough weather could often be close to 36 hours. The boss preferred to use ferries to Northern Europe as it kept the mileage down on the trucks and border crossings with all the extra paperwork in each country's language. Sailings to Spain in summer were mini cruises and I Was getting paid for it. All long before the Chunnel and EEC/EU.

    • @ClairesFootsteps

      @@ClairesFootsteps Not sure, I've been out of the transport industry since '97 and not a UK resident since then, in IE now. A mini cruise in summer but can be an ordeal in winter and rough weather unless a good sailor, even Nelson suffered for the first few days at sea. A cabin low down and in the centre of the ship has less movement but engine and machinery noise can be a problem for some. I loved rough crossings as bars and restaurants were almost empty.

    @Islandicus 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Although Shetland wishes to retain its Nordic connection, Shetlandic is basically a Scots dialect. Shetlandic Norn died out in the mid nineteenth century but also by that time it was heavily corrupted and even if spoken today, it would be practically incomprehensible to any other Nordic speaker. The Faroe Islands fared better and the language is still intelligible for Icelanders although with some effort. I think there have been some moves to promote Norwegian on Shetland to regain the Nordic connection.

    • @ClairesFootsteps
      @ClairesFootsteps  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    • @Islandicus
      @Islandicus 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @ClairesFootsteps Having studied Icelandic, I noticed that a lot of vocabulary is derived from Norse in Scottish dialects. You can see its influence too in the Gaelic languages. There is a movement on Shetland to promote Nynorn but personally I think it would be a better idea to promote Nynorsk since it a modern living language spoken widely in Norway which is the original land where Shetland Vikings came from.

    Personally I wouldn’t have a cabin on a ship without a window. You are asking for sea sickness if you can’t see the horizon.

    If you go to sea thinking, worrying, wondering, focusing on getting seasick, guess what’s going to happen.

      @@Michael43713 my maritime knowledge isn't amazing so I may be wrong but I was under the impression that ferries should actually be called boats... Quick Google seems to say that's the case but I'm only going by a few sources.

      It's a question of size. While it is possible for a ferry to be a boat, the ferry you were on is a ship.
