The trip was very good. Well air conditioned cabin and calm sea made for a pleasant crossing. However as the boat wasn’t the biggest, I could image on a rougher sea and a full cabin, it could be very claustrophobic and stifling. We only had 6 people in a cabin designed for about 30. The crew were excellent, very helpful with luggage and assisting us across the gang planks. We were even given a free ride into town.
