The trip was smooth and the price is cheaper than other websites I've checked, but I have one complain, they do not have a priority boarding for people with young children or older people, as these "move the slowest" when they announce boarding, usually we get the worst and 'less safe' seats on the boat as young ppl with less luggage just run and jump on the boat. I'd suggest they start asking other passengers to let 'priority' passenger board first.
