"Easy option"
Great option for electricity to keep fridge running. Dog friendly cabin was near lift to take dog to kennels and walk area. Benefit from more clean up equipment. Cre2 were all very helpful and friendly. Disabled access from garage 5 is very poor, stairs only to level 7.

"Much improved performance"
I travel this route to Italy/Greece 2 to 4 times a year. This time the boat sailed at the time it said and arrived at the time it said it would. Bravo. I either stay in a cabin if accompanied but this time I was travelling by myself and used the First Class Airline type seats. They were great and I slept very well. The showers were fine as well.

"Ancona"
Everything during the trip was perfect except of the fact that the ship had a delay of 2.5 hours. This delay affected our trip through Europe afterwards.

"clean and nice crews"
This is off season so not so many customers there. 1st class seat is not really comfortable to sleep, but I could use several seat so it was OK:) Relaxing at top deck in the afternoon with a cappuccino was very nice! Same as the rooms, this place is no dust really clean. Just smokers are not really separated, so I needed to escape from smoke. Overall, for the price it was good experience. Catering is 4 star because of price, kebab for 16 euro..

"Good flexible return service"
The best thing we have found with Minoan Lines over the years is their efficiency and helpfulness over changing return dates. No fuss they just do it . This is real peace of mind.

"A very pleasant crossing. Staff were friendly and helpful"
We enjoyed the journey with no problems. The staff were pleasant. The food was adequate but a little expensive. We were required to leave our cabin rather prematurely we thought and then had a long wait for disembarkation.

"Thoroughly enjoyable"
We booked a twin cabin with sea view which was really spacious and comfortable. The whole ship was smart and clean and it never felt busy - no queues at the self-service and plenty of tables in the bars and restaurants. All in all a very enjoyable experience and we arrived in Greece feeling refreshed for our onward journey.

"discreet experienc"
We took the junior suite, but the cabin showed few fault: tv was not working; door could not be locked from the inside; the ligh on the bedside table was really low. In the end was anyway a comfortable trip with no problems.

"Our crossing from Ancona to Igoumenitsa with Minoan Lines"
I gladly write this review, because the trip was a really good one. Punctual from the beginning to the end, nice and friendly staff, clean. We were really lucky, nice crossing started in Greece and the return looked like beeing in a cruise. Goodbye

"Ancona Igoumenitsa and return"
The ship left the Igoumenitsa with 1 houre delay, and depsite the really quiet sea we arrived to Ancona with more than 2 hours delay. To be improve the landing procedure, you have to spend 30 minutes inside the garage with stupid people who turn on the motor to go nowhere. Really expansive self service, €3.20 for a coffee at the bar; on the return we brought our food and water. I recommend the ship but you have to be aware of these things.

"Trieste Patra with Sofoklis Venizelos"
The trip was overall 1 hour late, in Igoumenista may be two hours late but caught up one hour to Patra. NO wifi, no internet stations to rent, but the ship was relatively empty and clear. TV with Greek and Italian stations available, archades room (permenantely empty). I did not use a cabin, cannot evaluate their services there.

we couldn't sleep outside as with Superfast Ferries. So we were all inside at bar. They should improve the outside area.
