I think you are in a time warp---most of the ferries are like luxury liners and I never saw any orgy or screaming drunks!I don't know if there are long trip/overnight ferries from Cork to England or France, but I am told that riding in one is like attending the third day of an orgy with screaming drunks tripping in each other's vomit from drinking duty free booze and smoking too many duty free cigs. Is that what they are like?
