Reviews For Travemunde
Dear Sir or Madam, I…
Dear Sir or Madam, I hereby submit a formal and emphatic complaint regarding the conduct of a Finnlines boarding employee at the port of Travemünde, which my family and I experienced during our planned crossing to Malmö. Our departure was scheduled for 3:00 a.m. on December 23, 2025, and boarding was supposed to close at 2:00 a.m. according to regulations. We traveled as a family with four children, including an 11-month-old infant. Our journey took us from Velbert (North Rhine-Westphalia), a distance of more than 500 kilometers. Due to several traffic accidents, we were caught in a massive traffic jam through no fault of our own. During this time, we repeatedly tried unsuccessfully to contact Finnlines by phone. We reached the check-in area at exactly 2:03 a.m. The car check-in counter was already closed, while the truck check-in right next to it remained open, and vehicles were still being allowed onto the ferry, even though there were still 57 minutes until departure. In this situation, we repeatedly and calmly and respectfully asked the responsible employee for understanding. Our children were exhausted after more than seven hours of continuous travel and were crying intensely; we ourselves were physically and emotionally drained – in the middle of the night, far from home. The employee's reaction was cold, harsh, condescending, and in no way appropriate to the situation. He showed no willingness to listen or consider a humane solution. He ignored my request to contact a supervisor or the captain. Instead, we were loudly threatened with police action if we didn't leave the area immediately. This behavior was unprofessional, degrading, and inhumane. Yes, we were delayed – but we were a family in obvious distress, not troublemakers, not a danger. There was time, other vehicles were boarding, and there should have been at least some willingness to talk or offer assistance. None of that happened. The consequences of this incident were severe: We were forced to spend the night in the car with our children – without accommodation or support. Our children were hungry, exhausted, and terrified. The next day, we began our overland journey to Sweden. This resulted in the loss of most of our planned vacation time. What was intended as a family holiday over the holidays turned into an extreme physical and mental ordeal. The emotional damage to our children is particularly severe. That night left them with fear, sadness, and persistent restlessness. To this day, they talk about the experience with stress and tears. Your employee's behavior has become a negative, frightening memory for them, one they directly associate with Finnlines. Therefore, I want to make it clear: 👉 It wasn't just the delay alone that caused this distress, but your employee's inhumane treatment of a family in need. It would have been possible to listen. It would have been possible to consult with someone. It would have been possible to show compassion. Instead, we were intimidated and left to fend for ourselves. I expect the following from Finnlines: - a clear and honest statement regarding this incident - an internal investigation into the conduct of the employee in question - an explicit apology - and appropriate compensation for the damage suffered and the loss of our holiday time. I am writing this complaint not out of anger, but out of deep disappointment. Such an experience – especially involving children – must neither be ignored nor downplayed. With all due respect, [Alaa Khallouf [Booking number: F250218957]
