Slow and safe ferry and we left on time and arrived only 15 mins later than the expected arrival time. The ferry left from Pier 1, not Pier 3! Not sure if it’s always like that but make sure to arrive early enough to walk from Pier 3 to Pier 1 if needed. All classes have beds instead of chairs which is really nice. The difference is in comfort: Tourist is in a room with AC, the beds are a bit bigger and they provide a sheet. B are beds downstairs and A beds upstairs. No sheets provided for them and only the wind coming in from the open sides
