Palermo Naples Ferry reviews

"Easy, pleasant journey "

I'd read some horror stories about this trip so was a little concerned. The cabin was basic but clean and comfortable with a good shower, we left and arrived promptly and had a great night's sleep. We didn't eat on board, just had a overpriced and not great coffee in the morning. Only thing that was challenging was getting to the ferry terminal as foot passengers, no signage and a lot of lorry dodging but there were plenty of stewards to steer us in the right direction.

"Excellent Trip"

Slept in one of the cabins - overall the ferry was mostly clean, very comfortable, lots of food and drink options. The walls are thin if you have someone loud in the cabin next to you, and I wish they would stop making announcements every 30 minutes that the self service station is open. Yes, we heard you the prior 10x and we’ve all been onboard for over 2 hours already.
