Last time I used it we slept on the floor as there were no cabins left and the cheap seats weren't very comfy. They've got a bigger ship now, probably with more cabins. Although, for the Alps trip, the afternoon train followed by a hotel at Laon worked out okay. This used up a vacation day whereas the overnighter from Portsmouth can be done after a full day in the office. -- wessie at tesco dot net BMW R1150GS
