Corsica first time
The ship itself was very good but Marseille ferry port is a total shambles at the moment and I would avoid it like the plague until all current work is complete.

Trouble-free travel.
An excellent journey, large ship (ex cruise-liner), spacious cabin, prompt arrival. A little disappointing that "snack" catering establishments were not open. Nevertheless an excellent experience.

Good ferry, friendl ..
Our experience was overall very good. The ferry staff were friendly, the interior was good, catering ok, view from top deck superb. One negative thing though was the chaotic check-in hall. We checked in, and asked (in our limited French) where to wait. The gentleman said we should wait in the hall, and our departure would be announced. There were hundreds of people in the packed hall. Some announcements were given, though in poor sound quality and only in French. After a while, I got suspicious, and went to ask if it was not boarding for Ajaccio soon. Then it turned out we were the only ones left for this departure, and we had been THAT close to miss the departure.

There should be better announcements, either in English or at the screens (like in airports, where the status of the flight is shown, like PLEASE WAIT, GO TO GATE, BOARDING, GATE CLOSING etc.).

Besides, I find the rate of 200 EUR for two person on the overnight ferry a bit stiff. We booked more or less last minute, though, and high season. But still.

I was unnable to travel. Health problems.
That means I lost the trip and the tickets, since there was no return.
It's a pitty, but next time I'll buy tickets only with possibility of return, in case of no use.
