  • "Pleasant and calm boat trip"

    It was hard to fins the correct ferry terminal because there were several and not clear signs. When onboard we got a nice welcoming from the cabin staff. Check in was very organised. The 4 berth inside cabin was normal sized and the bathroom was clean and neat.

  • "Good service but negative post sales"

    In conclusion the journey on board it was more than satisfied. All the attempts to contact the customer service (by phone or email) failed. We booked three month in advance and we realised we paid so much more than the price that was offered after.

    Boarding procedure really good. A bit old ship but with clean and comfortable cabins and toilets. Young, helpful and frendly staff. Expensive price to eat on board. Quite positive experience. Improving the point I indicated could be perfect. No instructions given about emergency situations.....

  • "An excellent service"

    We have used Grandi Navi Veloci many times over the years. The ship we travel on this time, the EXCELLENT proved very good. We had a good size suite with a comfortable double bed. The facilities on board ship were excellent. Staff were helpful and friendly. The choice of dining facilities were very good. The Bentley car was well parked with excellent guidance from the garage crew. A company to be highly recommended.

  • "Genoa Barcellona 2 adults + car"

    Essentials services were provided. Staff was always kind. You could add a cinema... But it was ok. Reasonable price. But inside the board there are no signs to help you moving around the ship, especially during the landing. In an emergency situation this would be a real danger!

  • "October 2014"

    Having used this ferry route previously, I knew what to expect, and as usual it was clean, on time, and the trip was a pleasant one. I only had one annoying moment, and on the route from Palermo to Genoa, we had a good meal, well presented in the a la carte restaurant, unfortunately on requesting a coffee, and a liquer, the coffee arrived cold. We informed the waiter who told us he thought it may be as the machine had been broken since the day before. Instead of apologising, and making a coffee in the kitchen, getting one from the bar, or just heating it up in the microwave, which was situated next to the defunct coffee machine, we were told there was no coffee available. On paying our bill, I thought that in lieu of a coffee, that the liquer would have been offered free by way of compensation. No, it was not, and both waiters were by now being rude. A senior member of staff arrived, and took us through to the bar, and sorted out a complimentary coffee, at the same time as agreeing with us that the matter could and should have been handled better. I will use the ferry again, but if the same staff are in the a la carte restaurant, I shall not be utilising it. The remainder of the staff were helpful and pleasant through out both trips.
