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.

The ship itself was outstanding. As for the food-it seems like ever since Covid hit, it has become nearly impossible to find good food on planes, boats and trains, almost like those businesses were looking for an excuse to drop the level of service. Considering the crazy wake up time on this ferry, there’s no point in paying for the cabin or taking the overnight voyage. Better to save money, sail during daylight hours if possible and enjoy the Mediterranean views. 🛳 🌞. Thanks for another great video! 👍🏻

I’ve used ferry travel most of my adult life and still do, one of the first things I learnt was that ferry food is crap but it’s getting slightly better now, the problem is that the ro ro ferries are on a tight schedule and I’ve found that it’s the passenger who suffers, to be honest the daylight sailings are no different to the night sailings you travel at night to avail of arriving early and having a full day to explore with the daylight sailings you arrive at night and then your time is limited as to what you can do before bedtime, good informative post Dylan

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!

Glad you liked my home city of Valencia, shame about the ferry food. I just returned from holiday in Menorca and for next year am considering doing a Valencia-Mallorca flight, couple of days in Palma then ferry from Alculdía (Mallorca) to Ciutadella (Menorca). The hotel where I stay is a 10 minute walk from the commercial port. The ferry companies that link Mallorca to Menorca are Baleària or FRS rather than Transmediterránea so maybe the food will be better, though I doubt any cheaper! Thanks for the review!

The ship looked very nice and the amenities also. The pool area was a nice touch. Maybe the food is sort of hit and miss and another time it would be different.

Very good review, Dylan, I would definitely try it.

An interesting video as usual. I’ve noticed in many of your videos when you comment about food or refreshments you don’t seem especially fussy although you sometimes mention things being pricey, so for you to observe that a meal was revolting 🤮 is notable 😉😳. 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.

For the ferry from Holyhead, Wales to Dublin they only called us to get on the bus about 20 minutes before leaving, and the bus stayed on the ferry for the entire journey, though it was a much shorter crossing than this. We had to go down with everyone that had a car as otherwise the bus would be blocking the lane on the car deck.

Great looking facilities on board this ferry (puts the Spirit of Tasmania ferries to shame) but, ohhh, the experience you had puts this one at the bottom of my travel bucket list. You obviously needed the Heinekens after your hot walk at the start, but what the hell did you do wrong to cop crap food, inadequate sleep time (I'm sure even at deck seven you must have copped screw rumble and vibration) and the rude 04 45 awakening? Great sunrise view across the harbour of the ship but I'm sure you were not in harmony with the scene. I had to chuckle when you showed the church at the end. Did you visit to atone for your sins and pray for a better day?

interesting ferry ride, and the ship does look pretty nice. So, arriving at 0530 in the morning, what does one do until you can check in to your hotel unless you have booked it for the date prior to your arrival. I would much prefer the day trip, which I assume is much less since you would not need the cabin. Thanks for ride, I did enjoy it. By the way, nice to see you without a mask on.

I've done this trip a few times Dylan including Palma-Ibiza but these were on the Baleària line. I find the day crossings are the best because you can sit outside on the decks and more facilities are open during the day. I don't know how these ferries make any money because they always seem to very quiet and local citizens are entitled to ridiculously low subsidised fares so not much revenue from them.

Agree with you Dylan on all points. Overall mediocre. Waking you up at ungodly 4:30 A.M. should be a crime. 😂. Probably the day ferry is the way to go and just use the recliner seat. Thanks for taking us along 👍🏻

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 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! 👍🌷
