There are several cafes and a nice children's area. Unfortunately, the cleanliness isn't great, but that's mainly due to the disrespectful behavior of some passengers. On the other hand, the restaurant is expensive, with many extra charges even with full board.
It's a shame that upon arrival in Genoa, garage number 3 was allowed to leave later than garage number 4 at the Azzurra. They wanted to ensure an orderly process, but because the ramp for garage number 4 was also down, all the cars left at once, leading to chaos and forcing those who followed the instructions to wait longer. This was particularly frustrating for holidaymakers with a journey of over 1000km ahead of them.
Very friendly and professional staff. Very pleasant clientele. Top-notch service. Thank you GNV.
