My daughter has just 'done' the Hull Rotterdam service - interestingly Rotterdam is almost the same distance from places in Italy as Calais.
They took the overnight crossing to Rotterdam, and thus saved best part of a day getting down to Dover. - but book early, it really fills up very early [they booked in November and could only get an (expensive) Family Room, all 'normal' cabins had gone]. Costs seem high, but you do [in theory] save one night each way in an hotel
The early start from Rotterdam meant that they easily made Mulhouse [Swiss/French border] in one day's fairly easy drive.
Getting on the ferry in Hull is easy - they got there about 3hrs - 4hrs before sailing time and it was already half loaded, with the Dutch and Germans queueing for the cafeterias to open.
