"Zurzuban"
I have travelled with transmediteranea before and this ship was not as nice. The food in the restaurant was poor and the cabin room was dirty and old. It smelt so bad that we asked to Change. The staff were nice and it was no problem to change, but the new room was only marginally better. I would take a different boat next time..

"Summer 18"
We travelled as tourists from Palma to Ibiza town with just hand luggage, really easy check-in set up and the ship sailed right on time. It was a 10am ferry, the choice of food wasn’t great so maybe better to take something on board or wait until their lunch service. Seating area was really comfy and the deck/bar area was great for sunbathing and relaxing. After disembarking, we joined the taxi queue but there were no taxis and the number to call didn’t work. However, just follow the foot passenger signs and you’ll find a taxi at the roundabout near the boat clubs/restaurants.

"Flexibility"
Probably best to pay a small supplement on booking, as unlike any other ferry company I know, if your plans change, then they will charge again and double, even if you are a pedestrian on a nearly empty ship. For that reason I will never travel with them again, nor will any of my trucks, as I call that abuse of power or bullying. Also, it would seem a waste and a limiting of customer choice in choosing time of day of travel to have both companies' ships running at the same time.

"Worst trip so far "
I am disgusted an traumatised by this whole Experience! The fact that you don't have the option to pay your extortionate prices for a cabin if you want to when boarding your ship is a joke! sleeping in a room full of 200 people after paying €260 for a ticket is disgusting! Once finding a ridiculous place to spend a 10 hour journey we was then told to move from our seats to be moved into a room like a heard of sheep with bright lights left on all night an constant noise from everyone else uncomfortable which makes impossible to sleep! I'm honestly shocked at how horrible this journey was for me an my wife while we ended up sleeping on a wooden floor because the chairs were impossible to sleep in! I've used ur service plenty of times before but I will not be after today! You should have the choice to sleep in a cabin especially if your willing to pay the ridiculous €170 an not be told to get away from reception an to stop asking questions. Instead I had to sleep in a room where people are using vending machines all night and waking everyone up every 10 minutes talking, coughing, laughing & joking around. Generally upset with the whole trip itself I now have to drive for 7 hours to reach my destination with no sleep at all! Ive chose your service over baleria numerous times however this will not be the case anymore! Especially paying €260 for the worst trip I've ever had! I have a strong social media following due to my career as a DJ and I will not hesitate to share this in the future.

"Pleasant"
Travelled from Ibiza to Barcelona on the overnight ferry. Very smooth sailing. The access to the ship involved a fair amount of walking, but staff were present at each stage to give directions if needed. I booked a premium seat and that lounge was nearly full. Quite comfortable. About 10 tv screens showing various movies/news were on for about 2 hours, then turned off do people could sleep. Washrooms were within the lounge area. Did not use the cafeteria.

Travelling with Trasmediterranea on the ferry to Palma was fine. The lounge was quiet all night, staff were helpful, journey went smoothly. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the discrepancy in the instructions for check in, but that was possibly the fault of the agent used for booking. I was told 120 minutes, even as a foot passenger, which was way over what was required. That meant a lot of hanging about.

Disappointed by the fact that I changed a booking for a return ticket from Ibiza.

"Pay for a cabin!"
We took the overnight ferry from Barcelona to Ibiza. I would do this again but I would definitely look into the cost and ease of flying as well as it is a long crossing. I booked a four berth cabin for myself and our three daughters and we all slept very well but my husband said that he would rather sit in a seat as he doesn't like small spaces. His experience was terrible as the majority of people who opt to do this nab 3 seats and lie along them which means that those who don't get there early, end up sitting on the floor. This is what happened to him and he did not sleep a wink.

In 2014 we took the same way from BCN to IBZ, in the way to IBZ, very nice Ferry, DJ playing, nice bar , nice environment.

The Zubaran ferry is OLD, the bar very bad, the surroundings are horrific. It seems the focus of the ferry was truck drivers which were screaming and shouting and the bar tender was part of it

"Never Again"
At the port tickets were easy enough to collect. We got to the embarkation area 2 hours before sailing time of 11pm. We boarded at 10.45 we'll I did, my wife as a passenger in the car was told she had to walk on as a foot passenger. This was some 15 minutes before I was allowed on. She got lost among lorries where the passengers were told to go. Eventually I found her near the desk where we were issued with our cabin key. We went directly to the cabin to drop our gear & was hoping to get into bed. The toilet was blocked & almost overflowing but I got a guy to clear it fairly quickly. The temperature in the cabin was so high we couldn't stay in it for a couple of hours until the air con had clicked in. The bed was uncomfortable so very little sleep was had at all. We eventually left Barcelona at 12.15 am some 75 minutes late. On arrival at Palma my wife was made to get off again as a foot passenger. The chaos getting cars out was unbelievable. Lorries had been parked so close on the deck above that I must have made 20 point turn to get out. My wife was left early morning in a car park for 30 minutes while we were getting cars off, not very nice at 7am in a port park.

It was a very pleasant evening, lukewarm and a nice seabreeze while we were waiting to board the ferry. The boarding was fast and easy. We checked out the cabin and then went to the restaurant to get some dinner. We were among the first guests so we didn't have to queue at all. The food, 3 chicken drumsticks, salad and potatoes was very good. I bought a small bottle of red wine which made it even better. The night in the cabin was ok but it was hot when 3 people shared. We solved it by opening the cabin door and secure it with one of our luggages. The alighting in the morning was easy and simple. Thank you for a nice trip.

I took the overnight ferry from Barcelona to Ibiza. This was ideal, as it meant travelling during the night, rather than wasting time during the day, and saved on hotel cost for a night. The ship was fine. I didnt use any facilities, or eat any food, so I cant comment on that. But it was clean, the chairs reclined a bit (although quite a few were broken and either stuck upright or in the reclining position). But the ship wasnt full, so I just took a set of two chairs (one upright, and one reclining), and tried to make myself as comfortable as possibly. It basically like sleeping on a plane, I dozed a bit, but woke up regularly. I recommend it as a cheap practical way to get to the island, but dont expect anything fancy.

There was no porthole in the cabin, the shower head was defective, the cafeteria (canteen) was closing when we arrived on board. So you have no choice but to eat what's given and quick. Avoid the FORTUNY if you want to keep a good memory of the crossing. When you travel for tourism, you realise that everything on board is planned for truck drivers and that you have to adapt to their rythm. You almost feel like your presence is too much....

WE ARRIVED VERY EARLY IN PALMA and continued on to Alcudia and finally arrived very tired and angry in Ciutadella at 1pm (I am 77 y-o and my wife is 74)

"Return Teneria"
It was good, except that the lounges are smaller than on the boats we took the previous years. The boarding in Palma was moved to another port without us being informed. We had to wait for 45 minutes durant disembarkment for the trucks to exit. The line is getting worse and worse each year. There are no more fast boats (4h) from Barcelona to Palma., no more confortable boat for tourists (bu mostly trucks), no more shaded port to wait before boarding. Next year, we'll use a different company.

"Mahon Barcelona with the ferry"
The trip was good, but pricey for such a short journey. (380€ for 9 hours on board). Proportionally, a trip to Greece is less expensive.

"Trip to Menorca "
On the way to Menorca we stayed in a cabin since it was nighttime. The noise o the air-conditioning woke us up but it was the first day of our holidays so we didn't really care. The staff is kind and freedom with which you can move around the ship made it go faster. On its way back, it all happened very fast too, the food from the self-service was nice and the staff was nice at all times. A new way of going to the islands with the car. We'll probably repeat.

"Adventurous "
Neat cabin. But a slightly outdated ship. Poor iformation services regarding ports and terminals. Good value for money. Friendly staff that doesn't always speak English.

It is not the first time that we travel with Trasmediterranea and we enjoyed it. They are punctual, ship and cabin are clean. I can’t say nothing about the restaurant as we never used them. Have a nice trip!

"Sailing on the Sea"
Comfortable seating with Spanish Novello TV drama to watch. Helpful information staff. Sun loungers on deck for sun baking or snoozing whilst the ferry gently travels over the sea.

"Superb!"
The facilities, decor and cabin were a great and pleasant surprise. The bar restaurant was superb-bright, large, clean spacious , beautiful decor. The cabin was brilliant, having a porthole and a sweet en-suite! The bathroom towels were very small and a little below par for u se after a shower but we managed. A great experience. The drinks were extremely pricey.

"Following my trip"
We wondered if the cabin had been cleaned. Why not leave a bottle of water per passenger in the cabin and a welcome word in Spanish, English and French

"We are going again in 2014"
Positives about the trip: fine service for boarding and the crossing was good. Nice that you can get your boarding card a few days head. Negatives about the trip: would be nice with some more information about how to get to the terminal, better seats for those travelling without cabin. A bit better at keeping the sailing times. But overall, a good service and we are using them again for our trip in 2014.

"Ferry to palma"
Service was good with re: booking. Return from Palma to Barcelona was not so good due to stormy seas. On the boat there was just a lounge with a television on too loud in Spanish. Virtually no functioning electrical outlets available on the ferry.

Staff exceptionally dedicated in the vehicle deck when we boarded the ferry (we had two cats) and cabins were good too. I would and probably will gladly repeat this trip without concern.

"okeyish"
The lady at the reception was pretty brash. She has also referred us to an inferior category cabin. This we only noticed on the way back, as we then stayed in the Premium rooms and we noticed the difference. It was probably because of low season that the food left a lot to be desired. Loveless fast food. The staff could hardly be seen during the crossing. Well, we tend to recommend Balearia for travel. Otherwise, the ship was ok. Everywhere plugs for the tablet. Enough exercise opportunities indoors and outdoors.

"Bad directions"
In the port of Barcelona, the signs from where the ship should leave were poor and very hard to find for non-locals. This could be improved! The trip was great.

"Truly perfect"
We travelled on the Trasmediterranea ferry between Barcelona and Palma. Ferry both ways was great, cabin great, food in restaurant also good. Departed on time, but the boarding in Palma wasn't at the same place coming back as was when we arrived. Fortunately we get there early so found the new port which is in the direction of the cathedral, and well sign posted. Overnight it is definitely worth having a cabin but no need for a daylight crossing. Parking the car on the ship could be a bit easier too!

"Brings people to the island and back, but nothing more than that"
The ferry was punctual and clean for a ferry. Disappointing, that nobody spoke English or even German, so once arrived, you had no idea when the cars would board or even where you had to go. The port in Palma was difficult to find, I was lucky to be 2 hours early. The operator should inform people better and employ English speaking staff, as most passengers were international. Next time I will try another ferry. The interior of the ferry was minimal. Only a few screens showing Spanish tv. The shop had very few products and the restaurant offered the usual overcooked food. Prices were ok. With a crossing of 7 hours boredom sets in quickly. On our way back the ferry was 30 minutes late.

"Quick crossing"

"Not much choice, so have to take whats available"
Whether you travel with Balearia or Trasmediterranea, the crossing is long and not very puncutal. This time, with trasmediterranea we had about a 90 minute delay without explanation when departing Barcelona. On the way back had no issues. The self service restaurant is like a cantine so best to eat before you get on the boat where possible. Not a great experience if you are travelling with a dog. Dogs have option of being in a kennel on the deck during the crossing with varying temperatures, so better to keep animals in the car. Shame we no longer have the fast ferries that do the trip in just 4 hours!

"Party time"
I highly recommend a visit to the onboard club if you’re travelling at night - especially on the Barcelona-Ibiza route. Younger crowd onboard and really nice environment. We met many people before we got to Ibiza!
