Arrival & Board ..
Having been advised when buying tickets on the net to be there 2 hours ahead for boarding we duly did so ,arriving by Taxi with 4 pieces of luggage. The taxi dropped us at the port entrance, the security people advised us we had to check in first at a tiny building way over the other side of the port ,no signage or instructions to be seen ? There was a bus that had picked us up half way (with all luggage in tow) ,we collected our boarding passes & returned to gate ,security then tell us we cannot board for another hour,no shelter or seating while waiting at the gate in the hot sun & gusty winds .It seems everything is geared to travellers with vehicles . Not a great start to the journey , which itself was very pleasant !

Average service
The long and complicated route to find the embarkation point which has changed was not easy. I was told that my car wasn't listed on their computer and a very grumpy man told me to go to the little office. It was quickly sorted out. Why did we have to check in 2 hours before departure. The cars were not allowed on the boat until half an hour before departure and so we all had a long wait indeed.

One of the highligh ..
Arriving in to the Porto Vecchio Harbour, in brilliant morning sunshine, while enjoying a great breakfast was one of the highlights of our trip. We only decided to take this ferry after a flight was cancelled, but would definitely do it again. Thanks

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.
