This is only the second time that I've stepped on a ship that I'm not driving. The first was from Los Angeles to Catalina Island and the second, on The Spirit of Tasmania, from Melbourne to Devonport, Australia. There are 2 ships, one that does the day trip and the other the night trip. I took the day trip and things were pretty good until the ship hit the Bass Strait, where it started to roll. I've never ever been sea sick and can't stand the sight of others being sea sick, so I spent most of my time out in the open enjoying the views until the main land disappeared. This journey was in summer but in winter I've heard that the ferry is at the mercy of the sea, not the best time to sail. The journey is 10 hours long and as the initial excitement of experiencing the amenities onboard wears off, it's time to take a nice afternoon nap or catch a movie in the cinema or both. There are restaurants and bars to keep your stomach full throughout the journey. The docking of the ship into Devonport is another spectacle to watch out for before you step onto land. Check out the virtual tour of the ship here.
