Done it once on the bikes,  and obviously never again,  but to me apart from being way more expensive,  you also lose two days biking abroad.  I usually went via Dover and enjoyed more time abroad.

Know where your coming from. We usually meet at 6am, ride to Dover for the 2ish ferry, get into France then pretty much only do 40 or 50 miles and find somewhere to stay cos' everyone's knackered by then.

If you don't count the hour or 2 in a foreign land on the first day it's pretty much the same, leave Saturday, wake up Sunday in a foreign land on yer holidays

I think its the oposite, leave work friday afternoon catch the friday night boat and you arrive in Holland or Belgium after (hopefully) a good nights sleep around 7am (after a full breakfast on board)    . You sometimes get pond life on board though. pissed up and making noise in the cabin area. I actually prefer the Harwich ferry as they were brand new boats in 2011
