  • "No customer attitude "

    Traveling back from Durrës we had the problem of the age of our daughter: she is 12 and had to pay as adult. When you buy the ticket online and give in the correct date of birth, you should get the correct category. After all the attitude of the personal in Durres harbor is unfriendly. We felt treaded more as sheep’s than as customers. However we chose the ferry for ecological reasons, to avoid flying, which would have been faster, friendlier and less expensive!

  • "Great!"

    My brother and I had a lovely time in the cheap rooms below deck. Dark and quiet, it felt like we were sleeping in a little space capsule! No gasoline smell or anything--don't know why people pay so much to sleep above the cars.
