Was not clear for me that we needed to drive with a bus for 1/1,5 hour before getting to another peer. Thought we wete getting on the boat straight away.

Very confusing about where we were going to get on the ferry. Staff need to be clearer on where the ferry port was they were using.I should have asked more questions maybe

This was very efficiently organised and also comfortable, but as previous reviewers have mentioned, the quoted arrival time of 11.30 is inaccurate, 12 would be a better estimate.

Everything was arranged by the company. Only thing was that the bus arrived at 8.45, left at 9.15 and it took us almost two hours to get to the boat. We arrived at 11.05 (departure time 11.00) so we were the last ones at the boat.
