  • "We have travelled many times on this ferry!"

    As a family of 5 we love to travel. We have used this ferry several times and on our last trip (18th August) we were disappointed to encounter an unpleasant experience in the coffee shop. When we first arrived the manager of the coffee shop started yelling at us and several other costumers about not eating within this area on the ferry. I was shocked as our family were not eating at all. We were moving some clothes from one bag to another. We told him that we were not eating. Later on on our trip we returned to the coffee area to purchase coffee. My partner again had issues with the same man - who pursumed that we could not speak Spanish and started calling us both names in Spanish! My partner can speak several languages so we were taken back. The whole incident was very disturbing and we could not believe it. My partner had asked for a cup and saucer for his coffee and this turned into a big drama. His coffee was thrown on the table at him and he yelled the price. The guy then proceeded to give me dirty looks - calling us"shits" in Spanish. I'm a teacher from Northern Ireland who blogs regularly I was very unhappy and disturbed by this experience. Looking forward to your reply , Deborah White.

  • "Great way to travel to Morocco"

    Clean, comfortable and well run. This was a great boat trip of a good length. Taking to afternoon boat was a really good time of day we arrived at Melilla with the setting sun. I recommend this as a convinient and interesting way to travel for anyone coming from Malaga area who wants to go east or south in Morocco. As a warning though, don't expect all Transmediterranea routes to be this good. I've just returned from Tanger Med port to Algerciras in a rusty old hulk, the service, logistics and punctuality was farcially bad.

  • "Goosepimple"

    A very smooth and comfortable crossing. The only downside was the loading crew who caused more confusion than coordination, too much drama and noise and not enough direction.

  • "Good trip"

    My family flew on holiday to Palma, but as I dislike flying so I took the train from the UK to Barcelona and the overnight ferry to Palma, and the day trip on return. I had my own cabin on the way there, a reserved seat on the way back. In general the trip lived up to expectations. The cabin was excellent, a nice shower, basin and toilet, and comfy bed. On the way back I got to the ferry early, so could pick a seat with a plug point to work on my laptop, be aware there are only a couple of these at the back of the room. Boarding and disembarking for foot passengers were simple at the Barcelona end, but difficult at the Palma end as the ferry docks in a different terminal and then a transfer is required on a bus (both for arrival and departure). This was not obvious to a non-native Spanish speaker and caused some confusion both times. The public toilets on the return journey were not particularly well cleaned but everything else was reasonably clean and tidy. These were all small gripes, and overall I would be happy to take the ferry again.

  • "Travelling at night"

    My experience was totally different at the outbound and the return. The departure to Palma was less comfortable, the ferry left almost with one hour delay. Nobody was controlling on board that the passengers that had booked a seat got one. I realized that some people had to spend the night at the bar. The return was better and the boarding more faster. Also a different and a better ferry. THE WORST IS THE SHORTAGE OF TOILETS. ONLY THREE TOILETS FOR WOMEN. CAN YOU IMAGINE AT 8AM, HOW CROWDED WAS THEM?

    The seating room is very uncomfortable and not very clean. There is no organization at the time to assign the seats, they should be enumerated.

  • "Trip from Mahon to Barcelina early August"

    I cannot praise the staff and crew of Neptuny high enough. It was an excellent day crossing, blue skies and very flat sea. We relaxed on th sun deck and ate in the excellent Italian restaurant where the quality of the food and attention of the staff was very high. Transmedittaeranean even organised for a pod of dolphins to put on a fantastic aquatic gymnastic display for us mid Med... The ship although old was in good condition, we left and arrived on time. I highly recommend this company.

  • "Barcelona - Palma - Barcelona"

    I travelled between Barcelona and Palma in July 2014 with Transmediterranea. I booked my ticket online at home before arriving in Spain. The process was easy after printing of the confirmation all i was required to do was arrived and have the tickets printed before boarding. I found the ride most enjoyable, with a television to watch the soccer, plenty of room to sleep, as both times i travelled overnight as well as free wifi whilst onboard. Service provided was incredibly helpful with friendly staff. Food and beverages available was great for my time of travel as well as reasonable in price. The option to go outside and watch us sailing by was beautiful during the early mornings and late nights. I would definitely recommend travelling with Transmediterranea as the trip was most enjoyable, and if the opportunity arrises i would definitely use their services again.
