Being essentially a glorifued road ferry, the Coruisk has just one public room, which houses a combined cafeteria/shop in one end.... |
...and rows of seating in the other end. |
Embarkation and disembarkation is via the car deck, which is open to the elements. |
The podded propulsion caused quite a lot of vibrations, which resulted the cars' burglar alarms going off all the time. Must be hell for the crew. |
