Everything perfect, nice boat, good to sleep on board

Nothing on the website describes the experience accurately, its not a night ferry it’s prolonged entrapment. If the ferry has 20 beds you can trust the operators to cram 50 more people in, having them sleep on mattresses in every possible corner of the boat. Would not recommend and would not try again

When I saw where I had to sleep, I thought the worst, but in the end it wasn't that bad. You shoud let everyone know that you won't have your own bed, but you'll sleep with other people, all together, close to each other. You can have your own bed, but not booking with asia12go I suppose, because all the person who where sleeping with me book thought the website, instead who slept in their own bed booked at the pier infopoint. As I said, in the end it wasn't that bad, but still I would prefer to know it before booking.

I got a really good trip. The sea was quite calm so it was no waving at all. The AC works properly so I could sleep without any issue.
