Yeah no kidding! We tried camping out inside our motorhome on one of those ferry's and they wouldn't have it. My dad snuck down there to take a nap anyways when they weren't looking :hehe:
Good thing is wasn't the Queen of the North when she went down a couple of years ago!
We took the Queen north from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert, and then out to the Charlottes in 2003. For the two night legs we had a small stateroom (2 bunks and bath), while the dog had to stay on in the car. PH to PR was nearly 24 hrs with the intermediate stops at places like Ocean Falls (at 3am).
If I had been on the Queen when it hit the rock, I would have been torn between wanting to get the dog from the car deck, and seeking safety in the lifeboats. 2 people went missing, though I don't know if they ever confirmed how and when they drowned.

I used a bivi sack to sleep outside on a deck chair on an Alaska state ferry a couple of decades ago.
