for a cabin if going overnight seems pretty cheap.
In terms of sleep etc, you would probably be better off doing the
Eurostar to Belgium and getting the train from there.
Could do; it goes from Brussels up to Rotterdam and then across to
Eindhoven though; over 4 hours, and you'd have to do it while awake
as it doesn't run that late.
I once did Rotterdam - London overnight on the basis
that I'd be able to
sleep. No, I just ended up needing to sleep through the following day.
The delays at customs in the early hours didn't help.
Hmm, something to bear in mind. A friend of mine uses the Harwich -
Hook van Holland service a lot and he said it's usually fine and
didn't speak of any customs hassles. I'm not normally one for
getting sea sick. :)
Cheers,
Andy
