    I love the way sea voyages always show perfect straight lines on the map.

    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! 👍🏻

    Such impressive architecture in Valencia. Thanks for showing during the opening.

  • @ebermtheburn

    Thank you so much for making this video documentation! You saved me money and a bothersome wakeup call at 4:30 in the morning. Indeed no bueno and no dia! I will be taking the daytime trip on the ferry instead, so I don´t have to sleep for such a short time.

    Great shot of the ship, Thanks. BTW, I really like the looks of this place, on my bucket list this goes.

    I can't imagine sharing that cabin with three people.

    Shame the food wasn't better. The ship looked pretty nice. I enjoyed the video. I've taken several ferries as well as several transatlantic and transpacific voyages but not this one. Maybe some day.

    At least the bloke at Mallorca got his massive carrier bag of oranges across in one piece. Nice vid as ever. 👍

    Hi Dylan, it is with great pleasure that I can finally access the Internet again and see your videos. I just saw the last one, the one from the boat. As always, you filmed extremely well, showed the climate of travel very well at the moment, a climate that we ourselves have felt. I enjoyed reading your comments and following you on your pilgrimages. I agree with you. Thanks a lot, Dylan!

    All ferries charge over the top on food and mostly it's pretty disgusting what they serve. That chair looked the best option compared to the cabin. My suggestion fly between Valencia and Palma

    I too was quite surprised that the food was so bad! I've taken the overnight ferries many times in the past and been very impressed with the selection.

    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.
