5.00The ferry was high above my expectations. More like a cruise ship. Department store shopping available and also Travelstore with gifts, food, snacks and alcohol available. Probably duty free prices, as everyone seemed to be buying products to take home. Food on board was delicious and wide variety. Look around for most comfortable seats. Lounge chairs to tables and couches.
Lovely day out
