I've only done one return trip using the Interislander. It pays to have your own tie downs, theirs are filthy. Place the bike on the side stand so you can compress the suspension as you tie it down. They place a chain across the front of the bikes to give you attachment points. Keep an eye on this, as the tension constantly changes as other people tie up their bikes. Also keep an eye on who's tied up next to you, you may want to check that their bike is stable. I've had to tie two bikes down, and it seemed like I was halfway across the pond before I was done. Good luck and enjoy your trip.
