"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.

"Very comfortable trip"
The crew were very helpful, friendly and efficient. Our cabin was clean and the beds comfortable. The announcements were a bit scratchy and difficult to hear particularly in the cabin, but over all an good experience.

"Lovely trip"
I highly recommend this service. Prompt departure and arrival, surprisingly spacious and comfortable cabin (outside, ie with window), and an excellent meal in the restaurant. I can't speak for the cafeteria, didn't eat there. On a summer night under a bright moon, it was really very beautiful, and smooth as silk.

Journey was good and satified all our needs. Comfortable cabin, we could rest during the night, depsite the rough sea. I do not judge the restaurant because I did not dine in.

"A good way to go"
We sailed from Palermo to Naples on the Tirrenia Florio Raba. The access to the ferry was quick and simple. Our rooms were ample and clean, for a short "cruise". We were too ate for the serve your self dinner, so we ate in the gourmet restaurant. Limited menu, but good food and wine. Wonderful bar and lounge, however, I missed the casino and disco which were present in the review I had read prior to booking. Egress was quick and simple, would do it again.

"A peaceful crossing"
A great crossing to do the most with your time. The cabin is quiet and clean. We didn’t try the restaurant, so we cannot rate this element.
