I remember spending a very rough few hours in the Irish sea when the ferry couldnt dock due to rough seas.

How does the ferry company get away with that. Surely EU health and safety legislation is universal, and that broke every rule in the book.

"Here, hold my ouzo while I park this thing."

And then later on when a hasty departure is called for: "Me furst. Get outta my way. I must direct this operation from the safety of the shore."

The story of Oceanos, Costa Concordia and many others.

In years of travelling, car, bus, train, plane and boat the only time I've seen my son struggling was on the cross channel ferry last Christmas where conditions were that bad that even with stabilisers the ferry was bobbing around like a cork. Just standing up was a challenge, and walking around needed planning. I was surprised the crossing wasn't cancelled.

A terrible way to treat the foot passengers, I don't know why they couldn't have put them in a vehicle to embark/disembark.

No, not really. Only first class passengers get loan wellingtons.

Only rough crossing I can remember is one where you met the roof coming down as you were still travelling upwards.

That bad they'd to shut the Duty Free, on safety grounds.

An overnight sailing from Liverpool, and no beer, I know.
