A comparison...

As I have never been on a boat.. But I am a otr trucker... Mostly team... How different is it going to be for sleeping and such on something that's moving kinda like the truck??

A ship will probably be smoother most of the time. Not the rattles and sharper motions of a truck. Yes, things can get rough at times on a ship, but overall, I think you will find it overall much more like sleeping at home.

Sleeping on a ship is like a baby in a craddle. Best, relaxing sleep.

Except that you can order a pizza from the television and have it delivered to your room.

At 3 AM.

No tight bends or sharp turns on a ship, no steep grades, no heavy braking, seamless gear-changing,

No peeing in a pot.

No wake-up call to change a flat tyre or to fit chains.

No being told its your turn to drive

No ban on alcohol.

No getting pulled over by a seaway patrol officer on a Harley,.

Potholes have got soft sides.

Chocolates & towel animals on your pillow.

But on the ship you'll get no wages at the end of the day, instead you get billed for far more than you earned yesterday.

I found that when I did feel movement, the motion was more like a train/subway

No chocolates anymore, on most lines...but still.....it's nicer than in the sleeping part of a truck!

It's more like being in a hammock than being in a truck. Most of the time, the motion you feel is a lovely rocking sensation.

Grew up in the cab of a truck, ship leaves it for dead.

cb- I don't know which lines you use, but we usually come home with a bag of pillow chocs, and we only use middle of the road ships these days.. the cruise we've just left changed the normal chocolates for mini Easter eggs for several days this week. :)
