I have been busy elsewhere today, and been hearing the perspective of people who run hotels or have some reason for travel unrelated to the TT. Believe me, they are just as angry.
Firstly, I would ask you to please respect the staff on the boats. It is not their fault and some of them have been getting dog's abuse. That's not on... they have to work for the company... can't imagine they get good treatment either.
I will only be on here irregularly after tomorrow morning as I move to my holiday home in Douglas (!!!) tomorrow. I don't have internet access there, so may not pick up messages every day.
If you think you will need to contact me during TT fortnight, about your ferry experience, or to buy me a drink(!!) please PM me for my mobile number!
