"Genoa-to-Palermo"

The best thing about the crossing was the little Canteen on dock #5 where we had a bite to eat as we waited to board. The departure was on time. The reclining seats were quite comfortable but the numbering was a bit haphazard. We arrived in Palermo on time but there was a distinct lack of communication (messages on the onboard public address system) about the disembarkation. The result was that we stood within site of the car deck for 45minutes waiting to be told we could get back in our vehicles; a very uncomfortable 45 minutes.

"There's so much better you could do!"

Forced to leave the cabin 2 hrs before arriving, and having to stay outside on the ponte not to get crawded with tenths of people in the bar. Mattresses too hard, no tv in the cabins. Wifi not working for the entire trip and reading room closed. Animals all over the places leaving excrements everywhere. You can't stay outside unless you smoke the cigarettes of hundreds people (too difficult to identify and limit an area just for smokers? ) . Such a long trip and there is absolutely nothing to do on board. I travelled a lot on ling ferrying journeys in Europe, and these issues are all being taken care of. The only good thing the pizza and service at the restaurant, the guys are excellent.

"Road Trip from Malta "

The crossing was very calm and during the day we found a quiet spot to sit and read. What was missing was somewhere to sit and work. Because we had our dog travelling with us, we were confined to the top deck (also the disco / party deck) which wasn't ok. The kennels are on the same deck as the party and they were ok, but not special. For me every cabin should be dog friendly, remove the carpets (kids make more mess than dogs), and allow owners to take their dogs to the cabins.

"Palermo to Genoa."

The ferry and our cabin was comfortable and clean, the food in the restaurant was poor and disappointing, I chose from the menu chicken with lemon and olives and received a roast chicken leg, thats all ! The check in and loading procedure at Palermo was chaotic an confusing, the loading staff should calm down and give clear instructions not wave their arms around at everyone and it was a similar experience on arrival at Genoa, apart from that the sailing was an enjoyable experience.

"Great cabin but otherwise disappointing "

It was a smooth crossing and we departed and arrived on time. As we’d booked the Presidential suites we were really pleased with our accommodation, very spacious and comfortable. But otherwise we were disappointed. The restaurant ran out of a lot of food very quickly, and what was left was pretty unpleasant; we ate it only because the alternative was hunger. Many advertised amenities were closed (swimming pool, gym, cinema) and the staff looked like they really didn’t want to be there. I won’t be taking this crossing again.

"During weekly random safety drills there are services to passengers including meals"

First we went to the ticket office in rain to be told to get tickets on the ship... Found out this was for cars only... Went back to the ticket office with even bigger queues and finally got on board. Boarding was efficient... We hadn't eaten due to late train from Syracuse... The food in "self service was appallingly... Cold tasteless pasta 7.90 Euro... Same price for a plate of plain carrots and beans... Went to the bar where there was one waiter serving drinks and selling essentials like water... Next morning we were woken 08.30 to be informed about a safety drill. We missed breakfast and went to ask when the restaurants would be open... Was told the drill went on 1.hr then they would open....I went back to info well after 1 hr and was treated like I was a nuisance with Llasia (her name) putting her hands to her head as if to say I can't cope.. Turning to her colleagues and speaking Italian. When leaving by chance I bumped into the captain and his entourage to voice my dismay... I told him I had documented the incidents but he was not interested. He told me to tell reception... When informed about the above he marched me there. She told her version in Italian and he then berated me saying the port authority don't allow any service to passengers during this practice... He had asked several times but had been refused! They didn't open the restaurant until 13.30...there were very long queues at the other poor quality food outlets.... It would be advisable for all passengers to take all dietary requirements on board or risk becoming very hungry not to mention poor to boot!

"Genoa to Palermo return"

The loading and unloading was unacceptable - too long and chaotic, with virtually no staff to help. It was like our's was the first ferry crossing that had ever been handled. Cabins were good, but going out the cabin we booked had been given away, and another, better we were told, had to be found. Cabins were quiet and comfortable. Food was poor, and the staff a bit surly. Notices and directions on board the ship - which was much too big - were poor, and we didn't find half the facilities. And being corralled into a waiting area for more than two hours after vacating the cabin was a disgrace.

Would have been great to have some information before sailing of; if only because the info provided on board was difficult/not to follow (for non-Italians anyway). How the boarding works exactly, when the huts are available (when you have to leave them), when restaurants open and close, and so on - would have been great to know.

"Worst ferry Company GNV"

Do not under any circumstances try to book a van with this company either direct or through direct ferries. Their definition of a van is that it has to have seats in the back. You have to book it as freight/cargo. Even if you choose correct height/length for a van they refuse to board you unless you buy a new ticket that is classed the same as a hgv! Even though on the new ticket it says furgone, which translates as a van!. Both outbound and return they refused boarding. I had to book through cargo.gnv.it, and then still was refused. The booking reference they gave was invalid at the ticket office, 10's of calls and nothing ever resolved. They don't care about customers, my elderly parents were extremely upset. And just to clarify this was a tiny van. 5mt length and under 2mtr height. The van was also empty. Its almost like a scam

"Mobile Data HORROR"

Nice ship, punctual, spacious. Not much to do...so bring a good book! BEWARE data. I boarded at 10pm, and went to bed. Boat departed at 11pm. As the boat got far enough off shore, the phone network was out of range and my I phone automatically switched to the onboard network provider (a satellite service). At approx mid morning I got several text messages from my UK provider ((three network), saying I had spent nearly £148!! Data costs £6 per MB, and I guess all the photos I took on the road trip to Genoa were gently being synchronised across my various Apple gadgets during the night while I was fast asleep! You must consider the ship as a foreign country, outside Europe, and switch OFF data roaming on your phone. I complained to reception on board that this had happened, to which the lady’s response was ‘Oh Yes, this happens all the time’! I made the suggestion they publish some warning posters, visible on arrival, saying ‘Beware Data Roaming Charges Apply on Board’, which she thought was a good idea, and scuttled off sheepishly. I imagine they make a good profit off the service, so won’t be publishing those posters! Direct Ferries... if you are reading this post, you should provide the warning clearly in your ticketing emails.

"Chaos on the High Seas"

Our trip from Palermo to Genova was marred by incredibly bad service. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good boat and the cabins are great... but the food is terrible yet expensive. And the communication to passenger is, quite frankly, non-existent... and often wrong. Add WiFi to the list... we paid and it worked 3 minutes out of 60. We didn’t know what was going on, or when. We were even directed to the wrong ferry and very nearly ended up in Rome instead of Genova. And before you assume it’s because we don’t know English, I can tell you that Italians we spoke with on board were just as confused. Travel on this ferry again? Not a chance!

This was our first trip by ferry and sadly disappointed.On the way to genoa the ship was good, on time, etc The meals that we paid for on booking doesnt show that there is little or no choice in what you can have , everything else was classed as extras. The cabin was good on the way out of Genoa to Tunis but rubbish on the way back as well as the sailing being cancelled for 1 week, with no refund for the inconvenience or extra expenses incurred.

"Too many dogs and a horrible 3 hour wait in the ferry lobby sitting on the floor!"

we travelled last week, the boat is good, however there are too many dogs in and around the boat. There are dogs being walked everywhere, with the obvious basics of hygiene a concern as so many dogs and people all sharing the same area. Not nice. The second area which needs addressing is why all of the passengers need to wait in lobby areas 3 hours before arrival into port? It's an awful experience with everyone herded together with insufficient seating, therefore everyone sitting on the floor (where all the dogs have been walked, clear remains of excrement and stains) with nothing to do but wait for 3 hours to be told to queue and leave the boat. There is no justification for such a poor traveller experience. I suggest the GNV executive team experience this as to see how it is to be a GMV passenger and then consider how their passengers' last 3 hours of their journey could be better spent and enjoyed?! Not like herded cattle but as holidaymakers!

"While NOT superb, La Superba was good value."

GNV La Superba While hardly superb, La Superba was quite comfortable for the 19-hour crossing from Genoa to Sicily; it was good value for the modest cost. My criticisms focus on communication and towels. First, after receipt of my initial booking, I received NO further communiqués from GNV. All airlines/trains/buses/hotels in my experience send upcoming journey notices. I never received ANY boarding instructions: where, when, how, etc. When I asked Direct Ferries, my ticket was confirmed but I received NO instructions as requested. The second criticism is focused on on-board communication. There was NO “guest services” information sheet/brochure in the room. I had to inquire as to where to go to obtain a wi-fi connection. There I purchased 40” for 5 Euros. On exiting, I found a notice by the lift of a two-hour 10 Euro special. It would have been very nice if the staff member who sold me the 5 Euro package had informed me of the special. There was NO NOTICE of it at the reservation desk; there was only the lone sign by the lift. Finally, in our 4-person cabin, two bath towels were provided with NO hand towels. There were four women, two of whom showered and washed their hair. I was not one of the two. I find that totally unacceptable.

"Trip to Genoa"

The ship was very clean, pleasant and the crew very helpful. The cabin was very comfortable. The only problem for a solo traveller was that on the Itinerary it stated tickets to be collected from 'Via Calata Marinai d'Italia'. This road (via) did not exist on either of the 2 maps of Palermo that I consulted. I asked the Tourist Office and they also could not find it but suggested I go to the docks and have a look around. Finally I found it was on Via Del Mare and the offices (open from 5pm) were situated between the Varco Amari and Varco Santa Lucia dock gates and the office called GNV. There was a small plaque inside one dock entrance saying Via Calata Marinai d'italia but I really feel strongly that one should have the CORRECT address as on a map and the correct name of the office if tickets cannot be issued in advance.

"La Suprema"

We 'pushed the boat out' and took a presidential suite which had a balcony. This option isn't clearly labelled on the directferries website but is well worth the money if you can afford it because you get a balcony and the trip becomes a mini luxury cruise. Don't by the meal tickets though as these can only be used in a tacky cafeteria whereas there's a very nice restaurant on board. Loading is chaotic so just be prepared for potentially having to reverse your car down a ramp to the bottom deck and unloading is a shambolic free for all where the staff seem to wash their hands of any health and safety responsibilities. Just one tip, if you have a cabin, don't bother to vacate until you're in port, disembarkation takes ages yet they call you to leave your room 1.5 hours beforehand

"Recommended"

We booked this trip online. Since the price difference between an inside and outside cabin was not big, this time we chose an outside cabin. The cabin seemed a bit bigger and to our surprise the ship seemed fairly new with a completely different interior than we were used to. In summary, the beds were good, it was clean, the food was good, and the shower provided good. A good experience, however pricey.. Dismbarking in Genoa went smoothly because everything was very well organised and the motorists drove off quietly.

"Great Service!"

What a deal. How can you beat it at this price? It would cost who knows how much to drive the length of Italy, with tolls, and the stress of roadworks. This was like a giant cruise ship. Bars, restaurants, cinema, casino, playroom for kids, showers for those sleeping in pullman seats. I went off-season, so very empty and plenty of space to stretch out and sleep. Don't know how comfortable it would have been in high season with just one seat per person; I'd probably have chosen a cabin, but as I was traveling on my own, it would have meant a shared 4-berth cabin. My only regret was that a man in an office told me there was no internet connection, so left my laptop in my car (no access to cars after departure). Yet of course there was Wifi (how could Italians be separated from their telefonini for 22 hrs!) The captain said the sea condition was 'rough', but the ship is so huge it is very stable so very little movement. I I would highly recommend this option for getting to Sicily. There is an Ibis Styles right opposite the port, so it's only 1 minute to an overnight hotel. All in all it was an enjoyable and stress-free experience.

"Good sailing - stock up on food stuffs before you sail"

We booked a sailing from Genova to Palermo with our car. The booking and boarding was easy - arriving at Genova/Palermo a few hours before departure. We opted for sleeping seats not cabins - these were fine. The ship was comfortable with plenty of toilets nearby and shower facilities. The only down side was disembarkation of the ship with the car, this was rather disorganised - some near misses and narrowly avoiding damage to our car. Be warned the cost of foods on board are expensive and queues for a cup of café can be long. At Genova port, we noticed many Italians heading off the attached shopping centre and stocking up, and we followed suit. Just as well as this kept us going during the 19+ hour trip with plenty of bottle water and snacks. A cool box would also be ideal.

"Cabin essential"

This is not a ferry you might associate with crossing the English Channel, it is in fact a luxurious cruise ship that takes you from Palermo to Genoa in 21 hours. However, it is a must to have a cabin and enjoy the relaxing benefits of a hotel room at sea complete with bathroom & double bed, and in our case a lovely sea view, forward over the bow. Boarding and check in are a bit chaotic, allow 2-3 hours for it. The garages for vehicles are enormous but well organised. A negative is the area for dogs which are allowed travel - looks decidedly unhygenic and is incongruous on such a high quality boat. Overall a good 8/10

Bad quality of the food at the restaurant even if expensive: a cold lemon tea 33cl €3,00. A good managment should improve the service on board and has to offer more. Grimaldi, think about that

The ferry from Genoa to Palermo was relaxing. We booked a 2 berth cabin. Check-in and boarding was a bit hectic but if you remain calm, it’s a piece of cake, especially if drivers with a caravan or trailer have the necessary driving experience ;). The stay on board the Fantastic was OK. If for our next trip we can take an additional 4 days, then we will definitely be travelling again!

Clean and comfortable although a bit boring. Internet cost £10 for 2 hrs. A la Carte restaurant was worth it as the canteen was typical canteen food.Coffee could be better. Last on is 1st off!! Maybe waiting till late to board would be better. Last time we had an outside room with window which we missed this time.Spending quite a few hours during the day reading etc in the room would have benefited from natural light.Maybe worth the extra £20. I have booked the room once on board twice now.It was half the price of booking prior. We went out of season so loads of empties.Not sure I would risk missing out on a cabin and having to have a chair to sleep in for 24 hrs in August/high season. Certainly arrived in Palermo/Genoa ready to get going rather than worn out from the journey.Cost UK to Sicily was slightly cheaper as we didn't have to find a Hotel in Italy.

We have really enjoyed our holiday complete with a cozy crossing on the Mediterranean - the journey home from Genoa to Switzerland is then only a short hop compared to the huge distance we have traveled on the way. It was a pity, however, that no seats were available on the deck - it's all set on the floor. Pleasant was once again the uncomplicated Check-In/Check-Out - no eternal waiting times. We are by and large, but very excited to travel this possibility and would definitely repeat!

I have to specify both booking that we travel with our dog. However, this did not show up in the cost calculation. We only received the message that dog with the crowds can be taken. On the ferry we had to solve, however, a dog-ticket and the dog locked up in a box or book a more expensive room, which meant 140 euro surcharge for a walk. Dog shall be present only in these special cabins and a small part of the deck, also they must not be left alone in the cabin. The dog owner you are a extremely restricted during the crossing.

I found it quite ordinary for a ferry, the armchairs were uncomfortable, if they were using the same one as the ones in the cinema it would have been much better.

"Being on board "

"Restaurant on board is open to briefly. Limited food offerings. Staff in the restaurant works very sloppy and not professional. One has the feeling it was more of a liability than a guest for these employees. Discipline on board the dog owner with their pets is unhygienic. Some let their animals roam freely and it this comes to increased faecal matter with out animals. The present ship's staff takes disciplinary action by far too little. In general, however great crossing. The rooms on board could be better dusted and cleaned. "

"Palermo - Genoa. La Suprema"

Ship was around an hour late leaving Palermo and consequently more than an hour late arriving in Genoa. Services on board were good and the cabin very comfortable. Novices that we were, we boarded relatively early, but this put us on the lowest car deck in the bowels of the boat. Consequently it took more than 1 hour after docking before we were able to drive off the ship as higher decks had to be discharged first! We were obliged to vacate cabins by 16.45pm (scheduled arrival in Genoa was 18,00) but actual arrival was after 19.00 and we were not called to our car deck until around 20,00hrs so had to sit in the lounge for over three hours. There was no bar or food service available in this lounge for this period of time.

We travelled in a cabin. Because there isn't a lot of time between 2 crossings, the cabins are not dusted. It's ok if you don't look too closely. If you don't have a dog, avoid the dog deck, as the smell is not very pleasant. The staff on board was very welcoming. The boat arrived on time.

Hello, the service is of very good quality and the competent is competent and available, but: -booking a cabin with a porthole doesn't necessarily mean that you will see the see. I had to close the curtains not to be distrurbed by the people walking on the deck. It's not very noce to pay extra just to see people walking their dogs! -the only drinkable water aboard the boat is the water sold by GNV for over 2.50€ per litre. Bring your own.

"Easy but expensive trip from Genoa to Palermo "

We went from Genoa to Palermo in August 2013. In Genoa you can check-in with the E-mai at the port. Simply follow the signs to the port, the port you will be admitted. Everything very easily. The ship was very modern and clean. The pools were cleared away, unfortunately not in operation and the deck chairs were 3 hours before arrival in Palermo. In the cabin for 4 people only 2 towels. Very good Pullman seats, so that you do not necessarily need a car, but two TVs in the room. Good entertainment.

I wrote to GNV asking for a refund but I didn't receive any reply. The disembarking was not organised: it was a real nightmare, congestions of cars in the garage! For the rest I can't complaint. the trip was pleasant with shows and piano bar. I'm hoping in a better organisation.

"Genoa/Palermo crossing August 2013"

Our crossing from Genoa to Palermo aboard the 'Fantastic' was very difficult… It was probably perfect for people who like cats and dogs. However, we were bothered by the smell of dog poo on the deck. The 'Fantastic' is old and dirty. There are only a few seats for hundreds of passengers. We had to stand up among the dogs to eat... We are very disappointed, because we had previously travelled aboard the 'Suprema', which we were delighted with... It's a shame that you cannot chose which boat you want to travel with. Or maybe, we didn't know how. Thankfully, we had a good holiday, but we had no desire to take that boat to come back. Fortunately, we travelled aboard the 'Suprema' which is a whole different standard: clean, spacious, with some entertainment and an outdoor pool.

"Round trip Palermo-Genoa"

Outbound trip ("Fantastic" ship): Nice the welcome on board. The cabin was dirty and smelly with dirty and dusty blankets. I won't comment the carpet! I noticed passengers taking pets inside the "inside" cabins which are not pet cabins. I can explain the bad smell inside. Staff on board irascible and rude (do they work for free?) In general on board is a race to get a table, a seat, a sofa and deck-chair that passengers would occupy for the whole day. It's the staff responsability to assure that all passengers get the same treatment and can enjoy all services on board.

"High quality food"

I live in Piedmont, but I spend long periods in Sicily, where I have a house for holidays. When I prefer the car on the cruise from Genoa to Palermo or vice versa. I learned to appreciate the quality of service offered by GNV. I particularly enjoyed the variety and quality of food.

"My impressions"

The outbound journey was very good. The staff was cheerful and welcoming. The inbound journey wasn't as good. We couldn't close the bathroom door and we were stung. Everything was good apart from that. I recommend that ferry, because it is good.

We took the ship to return to Milan from Sicily and we enjoyed it. The navigation went well. The staff was friendly. We did not use the restaurant, but of course the bar on the ship was expensive.

"Canceled trip "

On 07.06.2013/10: 30 nightly trip was canceled via SMS. No alternatives were announced and under the specified information line heard only music. So we had no choice but to go to the office of Grandi Navi in Palermo. The return was made until 24 hours later. We suspect that the reason was that the rides from 7.6. and 8.6. were poorly booked and society together put two unprofitable trips to a profitable.

We had a cabin with porthole for these crossings. Very quiet cabin. Comfortable liner. Warning breakfast is only served until 9:30. Only downside: the upper deck is flooded with dogs (although this part of the boat is normally forbidden to them).

"Could have been better"

The Florencia is a small ferry and 9 years old. From the outside not very trustworthy, from the inside ok. During the 20hour crossing there were only two warm meals served, tasted good, portions were small and it was expensive. Otherwise there were only bread rolls you could buy. Tables were cleared swiftly and mosly tidy. Toilets were not clean and soap was missing. If you don’t have a cabin there a hardly any possibilities to sleep. Not comfortable seats just benches and uncomfortable chairs. On the outside sun-deck” you couldn’t sit down except on the dirty floor. In terms of entertainments there was just some tv’s running non stop. Lighting was dimmed either at night. We were one and half hours late and in general this seems very long as there wasn’t anything to do. Positive was the price without a cabin.

"No alternative"

Grandi Navi and Tirrenia carved up some routes so GNV have a monopoly on this one, so one has no choice other than to do the drive (assuming you ferry with a vehicle) right through Italy over the straits and on into Sicily, a tedious experience. Thus the company doesn't need to provide anything to attract customers, just the bog standard journey and ordinary catering. The thing I dread most is being turfed out of one's cabin two, I repeat TWO hours before arrival so staff can get in and prepare cabins for the return journey. As if one didn't pay enough and as if Grandi Navi didn't rake in enough from the masses of cars lorries and people travelling, they could do this after docking. So then you have to mill around the ship in the crowds (and this last journey for me there wasn't a single seat to be had - I had to sit on stairs). Once I had to wait nearly 2 hours to drive off, god knows what happened, but this time just a mere 45 minutes. (Tip; the later you drive on, the more likely you are to be in higher garages, B, C or D (unlike me in A, mistake) and able to get off sooner and resume your journey. All in all, a depressing and dispiriting introduction to an Italian monopoly taking advantage of its position and putting its own interests before its customers. (My first ferry leg with DFDS does not include such humiliation, even though they alone do the Newcastle to Ijmuiden route, and they provide nice entertainment and don't winkle you out of your cabin and treat you like the proverbial).

"shortcut between Palermo and Genova"

We had a relaxed trip from Palermo to Genoa. The ship and its crew are not for luxury but OK. Private cars are exposed to weather and salt spray on the upper deck outside. The cabins appeared to be clean and quiet. The food is not cheap but rather basic.

"A Bad Journey"

The initial impression of the 2/3 berth outside cabin was most favourable as it was noticeably larger and had much more storage space than the same class in other shipping lines I am familiar with (TT-line, German, and DFDS, Danish). The bathroom, also, was particularly well-designed and the shower drained without spilling over onto the floor. The bathroom appeared spotlessly clean but the floor of the cabin had not been cleaned as there were bits of paper, thread, dirt, etc. on it. Otherwise, the trip was a nightmare. In general, the crew were unhelpful, rude and downright offensive. Specifically, a request for our cabin key was reluctantly answered by a stony face and pointing finger, after which the crew member turned her back on us. The reception area operated as a social centre for members of the crew: passengers requiring assistance or information had to wait until one of the ladies at the desk could drag herself away from gossiping/flirting. Food was served for one and a half hours for breakfast and at lunch time. There were no other cooked meals available. There was little choice and food was not labelled. Two and a half hours before we docked in Genoa we were ordered via the intercom to leave our cabins and collect in the public lounge. This was insufficiently large for the vast numbers of people ordered to assemble there. This was not an emergency: it was apparently regular practice as the cleaning staff needed the time to clean the cabins for the return journey. The public lounge was not a viable, comfortable area for so many people, especially those who are old and/or, like myself, suffering from a debilitating, fatal illness. Nevertheless, a male cleaner burst into our cabin and started screaming and shouting at us when I refused to get up and leave. Having paid for the cabin I saw no reason for not using it when I needed it. Without asking in any language, he used our telephone to speak to the desk, then handed the phone to me. I listened to a woman who ordered me rudely to leave in five minutes. I explained why I could not and received no answer other than 'five'. In the end we stayed in our cabin, repeatedly harrassed and interrupted until about fifteen minutes before the call for passengers to go to their cars. We spent this time sitting on a bench for wheelchair passengers in the reception area. During this time a number of German foot passengers were herded to the escalator to get their tour bus. Their comments on the crew as 'like Nazi concentration camp guards' were interesting! The ladies had little English or German and since most of their passengers were English and/or German speaking, communication was impaired. This was not helped by a poor quality intercom: it was impossible to hear announcements even if the speakers could produce good quality language. If Grandi Navi Veloci are interested in providing an attractive service they need to reorganise their cleaning schedules and cleaning staff, give adequate training in customer relations to all staff, including training in the relevant aspects of a suitable international language, and promote the attitude that La Suprema is run for the benefit of the customer – the passengers – and not the crew.

"Travel in Sicily"

The trip was restful. I had few contacts with the crew, only during the embarkation and disembarkation. The staff was friendly. Ships are a bit dated and the cleanliness of the toilet and of the area chairs is not very accurate (because of the passengers too) I used to travel overland, but the trip was relaxing and perhaps a little boring.

"Not the best trip"

We were many hours late, arriving close to midnight instead of the planned 2100 or so, meaning hotels were a problem for many. The worst part was being charged 29€ for our small dog, then another deposit 5€ for a lock, only to find out they wanted us to put our dog in a cage outside, on top of a steel grate. This was totally unacceptable and we would not have taken this trip had we known these circumstances. Since we were late the food was compensated, and it was good and the room was generally clean and as good as on other ships we have taken.

"La Suprema"

La Suprema is a nice clean ship. I travelled as a single woman and felt at ease. The rooms are large and comfortable, staff helpful, they speak few languages outside Italian. We was four hours late leaving, after a long wait in Tunis, but we made time up well and was barely half an hour late arriving in Genoa. On and off the ship was a very smooth process.
