We made it to the port with no incidents and boarded the ferry passing through quarantine with no issues. They are pretty strict about what you can not take into Tasmania!
The ship was similar to a cruise ship but different at the same time. There was a lot of freight trucks below the car decks and then above that was the deck with all the action before the cabin deck. All food and drink was extra on board. This cruise ship below dwarfed the Spirit of Tasmania...
We had a good crossing, fairly uneventful and not rough at all. Our cabin was tiny but it was good to be able to sleep. We were able to buy a national parks pass for $60 - this saved us a lot of money during our time in Tassie.
We arrived early the next morning in Devonport (30 Jan), up at 5.30am to beat the 5.45am call over the speakers advising disembarking time of 6.15am.
Mick and Max spotted a seal in the river at the port before we went down to get the car. On deck it was cold. Tasmania was experiencing a cold patch, I was worried!
We drove off the ferry and headed for Launceston.
