Wolf! Is it really a ferry?

Reminiscent of some works' Christmas parties ... ;)

it's actually a cruise chip, the Pacific Sun, in the South Pacific off New Zealand, which is another good reason not to catch it to Shetland.

Uncut version here if your stomachs can tand it.

I took a ferry to Shetland many years ago in my student days, and it was nothing like this. My abiding memory is of some gorgeous Scandinavian oil men who kept buying my friend and me beer after beer after beer. The we went up on deck and admired porpoises and puffins. Or at least I think that's what happened

I have been on the ferry from Aberdeen to Lerwick, the tables were bolted to the floor but the table tops were screwed on with teeny screws so a few of them came adrift. Most of the crockery in the galley got trashed in one spectacular crash. I got the distinct impression that it was the first time that the ship and crew had been to sea since neither it nor them was prepared for waves.

I've been on a P&O cruise to the Caribbean and witnessed scenes like this. Our dining table suddenly decided to move and the unfortunate lady opposite me, who was in full evening dress, received everyone's dinner and wine into her lap.
We saw at least 5 people being carted off with broken limbs..............god knows why we booked another cruise.

Some years ago I emigrated to Australia and the ship I was on with 1200 passengers was something like this going across the Bay of Biscay.
The next morning only about 150 turned up for breakfast.
I was one of them.
