Pleased with the actual ferry crossing - it was very efficient and the onboard facilities were excellent. But it was disappointing to find that even before leaving port, the cafeteria had run out of croissants and pain au chocolat; in any case the choice of breakfast goods was very limited (no cereals or porridge, no yoghurts or fruit that I could see). Our enjoyment of the rear sun deck was also curtailed by the cacophony of car alarms continually going off on the lower deck.
Absolutely fantastic customer service and friendly people
Overall very good
