Ferries

The ferries you take over to the Shetland Islands are luxurious and fun. On the ferries there are cabins which you can rent for the night and a lounge called the Magnus Lounge. The lounge cost around £10 to get in but once you are in you get free soft drinks and snacks. There is also is a play area for little kids and a room with video games for older ones. The one with the video games costs money to play my sister and I found out. It cost £1 for fifteen minutes,  which is kind of expensive. When we went on the ferry from Orkney to Shetland we slept in the Pod Lounge, which is a room filled with these strange chair this for sleeping. My mom and Sylvia didn’t sleep in there and instead slept on the floor of the cinema. You can also buy breakfast on the ferry for yourself. You can buy a meal or the all you can eat breakfast buffet. We got the all you can eat breakfast buffet because for every adult meal you buy, two kids under sixteen eat free. The breakfast was pretty good. They had soda and juice. The eggs were ones you can buy that are freeze dried that you have to put in water to eat, so they were in a tub of water. After breakfast I felt sick. The ferry are called Northlink, and they sail to the Orkney Islands and to Shetland. The ferries also come with free wifi that, once you get out to sea, is very slow. Also on the ferries are gambling machines, which Jack spent £5 on. It was a sunny day on Shetland which is very rare. The ferries ride over is around twelve hours. The ferries are super nice and fun and have comfortable chairs.
