- This is the most miserable ferry we have ever taken.
Negative:
- Check-in closes an hour before departure. Boarding the ferry 10 minutes after the departure time.
- Despite a sign indicating that there is a disability, you are simply crammed between trucks with no way to get directly to the elevator.
- Everything is rusty, old and extremely dirty.
- The whole ship stinks of diesel, petrol and exhaust fumes.
- When it rains, all of the outside decks are flooded more or less ankle-deep. The dog deck can only be reached with wet feet.
- The dog deck can only be reached by dogs via obstacles and grid steps.
- No dog will do its business in this ridiculous sandbox or on a bare ship deck. The carpeted floors in the cabins are the better alternative, as you can see and smell!!
- The cabin is actually an unheated cell. Despite complaining to reception because it was only 14°C max in the cabin, no effort was made to change that. The whole trip with a winter jacket in the folding bed. Dog on the cold floor...
- Bar, shop, restaurant... were not used because they were actually only open shortly after departure and shortly before arrival.
Positive:
We actually arrived at the destination port alive on this junk ferry.
