The journey itself was very good. The ride was fast and very comfortable. The only problem was that the instructions on the digital ticket weren't clear enough. When i got to the ferry terminal and presented the digital ticket, i was told that i had to do a check in. There was just a short delay as the staff went and did this for me.

When doing the check-in at the pier, they charged us additional for our 2 year old, despite the booking said children smaller than 100cm are free of charge. Apart of that the transfer went smoothly.
