has any one had experance with either the hull - Rotterdam or immingham Rotterdam ferrys at all , and what it like for decent sleep on them please
I once went on a ferry out of Hull to Rotterdam,but it wasn’t for work purposes. 
I sailed on the Pride of Rotterdam one way,and the Pride of Hull the other way,and have to say I was impressed with both of them,although I think the Rotterdam is the newer of the two,and therefore more luxurious.
There was a casino,and entertainment,as well as the usual array of bars to indulge in the alcoholic beverage or three,and iirc,you the cost of the food was seperate to your booking,if you were a pleasure traveller,and was quite expensive,but you did get plenty,and it was nice.
The cabins were 4 to a cabin,and the beds were of the pull out of the wall variety,with an en-suite shower/toilet,but I slept alright from what I remember,although it was few years ago.

Yeah i thing there excellent, if your a driver theres a truckers area on the 9th flooor to keep u from passengers too, i think its got a bar and food too.
The P&O boats , The Pride of Rotterdam and The Pride of Hull, are on the Hull - Europort crossing. These are both big boats carrying both freight and passengers.
Freight drivers have their own section of the boat, with a bar/lounge area and a restaurant on deck 9. There is also a large block of cabins exclusively for freight drivers on deck 7. We aren’t restricted to these areas, but ordinary punters aren’t allowed to use them, so they are a relatively peaceful oasis.
The freight drivers cabins on deck 7 are a mix of single berth cabins with shared toilet/shower room and double berth cabins with en-suite. It’s unusual for two drivers to share a cabin, but not unheard of, depending on how busy that particular crossing is. We are also put in the cabins among the normal punters.
The crossings from Vlaardingen and Hoek van Holland, to Killingholme by Norfolk Line and Stena Line respectively, are both freight boats. Much more utilitarian than the P&O boats.
The Norfolk Line from Vlaardingen only takes 12 self drive trucks maximum, the rest is filled with unaccompanied trailers. It has 6 drivers cabins with double bunks and en-suite. Meals are pretty good usually, but don’t expect any Michelin stars 
.
The Stena Line from Hook of Holland are new boats, from the beginning of the year. Very nice boats, plenty of room, decent sized cabins with en-suite. Most cabins are doubles, but I think being doubled up is pretty rare. I’ve only used these Stena boats a couple of times.
I have slept on all of these with no problem. I don’t sleep well on the Zeebrugge crossing for some reason.
The Stena line are both new boats so comfy.
The P+O boats are nice with IMHO The pride of Rotterdam serving the better food.
I like Simon said don’t sleep too well on the Zeebrugge boats either.
Not sure if the 2inch gap at the bottom of the door letting the light in is an issue.
I never sleep very well on any of the ferries, either too cold, too hot, too noisy, too quiet.
I use to love the Hull routes when it was run by North Sea Ferries with local crew, Now the corporate P&O image is in and a slice of toast on there tastes exactly like it did on the Portsmouth Le Havre boat when you slept under the propeller.
At least on P&O Rotterdam you can avoid the grockles
the best thing about the zeebee boat i find is the roast dinner, a welcome sight on your return home after a few weeks away
was on the stena trader wednesday night, must admit i was impressed with it. the food was god washed down with 2 coffees, a couple of beers then in my pit for the night which was a good kip dont know if you have to share cabins on there but i had one to myself. up at 7 am next morning for a shower and breakfast before disembarking around 9.20 am. nice clean boat in my opinion
