Done numerous crossing on DfDS , they are not bad but sometimes you get groups on board who can be very boisterous in the cabin areas. Been across the North Sea a number of times during my stint in the MN on tankers. The North Sea has every so often rogue waves which can be very discerning.
Crossed the North sea 4 times Newcastle to Bergen in winter all in gale force winds two of the crossings force 9. When the crew board up the passenger windows to the lounge and string ropes so you cannot go forward nor aft, then you hear the propellers vibrating!!! You know you are in a storm. It was reduced speed and a two hour late arrival. An experience while i slept.
Dont worry she can handle it, she has been sailing on Kristiansand - newcastle and THAT could be a ruff ride! And furthermore shes a Danish lady, and they are proper build!
@@Thedane2023 indeed... I never had the pleasure of travelling from Newcastle to Norway but I've seen some videos/pictures of rough crossings. She was really tested on those crossings.
@@ferriesinfocus A Scottish woman you tuber did this exact crossing- she was seasick, and the sounds of others vomiting could be heard through her cabin walls...It made me feel ill just listening! 🤢 I love the fact you haven't put music over this- just the sound of the waves and the sea.
I know it feels horrible doesn't it ? I have worked on the North Sea and rest assured even the most experienced mariners and Captains get sea sick now and again and it doesn't have to be particularly rough or bad weather. It's just how the sea 'catches' you.sometimes ~Respect the Sea~.....All the best 😊😝

I think you had a good night sleep. 🤗🤭 When we took the ferry last year end may, the sea was flat calm
It was fine :) . It was a bit rougher around midnight so that did wake me up for a few minutes

The Northsea. Not for nothing the most dangerous sea of the world. Maters and chief officers are scarry for these sea.
Quite similar to a few weeks ago coming back to Newcastle, quite rough and I was seasick

It's IJmuiden not Ijmuiden. The I and J should both be capitalized
Great video. 👍Do you know whether it is usual to have tug assistance when departing from Ijmuiden or was this due to the high wind?
@@ThamesShips I think so as the passage out of the harbor is very narrow :).
@@ferriesinfocus Thanks.
No, only when there is a strong wind. They do use a pilot often, if the captain is not authorized to sail out of this harbour.
@@greensteezy Thanks for the info. 👍
Y’a des français dans la bateau j’entend mais surtout y’a des francais dans les com
When was this offer?
They had one in spring and again this summer. Just keep an eye on the website of DFDS, they have these promotions once in a while
