I lived in Valencia from 2004 to 2009 and used this service a few times. I always found the customer service a bit unpredictable and lacking - although the staff themselves were always as friendly as they could be. Valencians are very warm people. You couldn't always predict which berth the ship would leave from, on one occasion we had to drive behind a pilot vehicle which took us on a big tour of the docks until we arrived at the ship. Whenever I told my local friends I was going on the ferry to Palma, they always said "why don't you fly?". The main advantage to me of taking the ferry was being able to take my bike and all my camping gear with me.

Congratulations Dylan! You summarized extremely well , what the overnight ferry to balearics is light. Crap ood that cost less than 1 euro, sold for gold and expensive price for just 4h of sleep. Before the arrival of the fast ferry (3-4h daytime), the overnight ferries were the way to go. At this stage the only benefit of using the ferry is hat you can take your own car, and save on the rental that's all. Taking vueling , air europa or Ryanair from Valencia and sleeping in Mallorca, would have been a much better experience.

I ferried overnight from Naples Italy to Palermo Sicily in Mar 2011, and it was remarkably similar in the quality of accommodations and the quality of the food. Our poolside area was not nearly as nice as yours looked though. Our inside cabin was nice but near the engines or something. A 'not so quiet rumble' was non-stop all night long, I wore earplugs but was still bothered by it. Getting aboard initially was not nearly as smooth for us, we drove our rental car directly onto the ship, after a treacherous wild time driving through the city of Naples after dark. Of course we were lost, and we could see the ship but could not navigate towards it until finally we were on track. We were the last car to board and they closed up immediately after we pulled through. We had barely made it! Looking back, it was a great time!

I haven’t taken internal ferries in Spain, apart from a few brief costal trips in Valencia and Málaga (quite enjoyable), but I have taken several Inter-island ferries & ferries from/to Piraeus in Greece and they weren’t as nice as this vessel, although the food was just as mediocre/awful. I suspect your remarks about a captive market are pretty accurate.

Strange arrival time. On the overnight Plymouth-Roscoff if it's going to be a calm crossing the boat shuts down for an hour a few miles out from Plymouth. But if its a westerly or north-westerly wind and going to be rough it uses that hour to head towards Falmouth, then a sharp left turn towards Roscoff so the wind is astern. Gets in about 0830 (French time) if I recall.

I guess that the day service is much more conveniant, because you can enjoy the trip and the views on the deck. So if I am not in a hurry and I want to enjoy a cruise this ferry can be an option, but the day service, not the night. Otherwise, the plane is 8 euro(basic) with ryanair and vueling. Maybe a comparing video like a ferry vs low cost plane from Palma to Valencia could be nice to see the exact cost. Because to go to/from airport it can be time and money consuming as well. Good video, thanks for it.

Only on 2? I don't think so 😅

Just a small cafe and some seating. This is why I love ferry terminals - no pushing overpriced tat onto you like at airports. They know you're there for one thing and one thing only...to board a ferry!

Si son 7 horas de viaje , debiera partir a la 1.00 y llegar a las 8.00. No pueden despertarte a las 4.30 de la mañana.!! Tampoco vi ninguna entretencion a bordo. Al menos podria haber un casino o discoteque o bar ..algo para pasar la noche.

Wow. Just imagine having four people in that cabin. It would be cramped enough with 2 adults in there, adding 2 kids would be chaos. And if you've got 4 adults in there on a stag do... I dread to think!

I've done 5 in a cabin of that size before 😅

Your crossing from Hook of Holland to Harwich was a much better experience.

I took that ride back in 1988, nostalgia! Edit: nah, me I went from Barcelona to Ibiza 🤔 (InterRail + 🛳️). Time flies and my recollection lags. Never mind, since I've visited Palma as well (1991), I figure I'll put together the cruise on the one hand with the stay on the other for a combo nostalgia! 😁 Edit #2: On that InterRail I also visited Heineken Brouwerij in Amsterdam. Trio nostalgia alert! 🥰 Edit #3: On the bus I thought I heard friggen Rick Astley over the speakers! This trip is so '80s! 🤩 Edit #4: 12:43 yup that's the stern swimming pool as I recall it. Nothing has changed! Edit #5: 13:00 Nope, sleeping was not part of my trip. Edit #6: 13:40 ¡En las Baleares, todos los días son buenos! Edit #7: yeah, let's take the bus...to Magaluf! P.s. thanks for taking me for a ride down memory lane, cheers! 👍🌷
