Ferry timing at night is…
Ferry timing at night is not too bad but would be great if the cabins are not expensive, I will not use again for that reason, also the staff need to organise how vehicles leave the ship, it must be in lanes not three lanes at same time,I was forced by cars behind me to keep driving despite not my lane turn. In short should be one lane all the way to customs, if not, will be an authority person guiding you like you are a child.
It's a pleasure to sail…
It's a pleasure to sail with this company. I give it a 10.
