In fact, there are no cabins, but economy and club class seats. Both are good, the ferry is really cool and you can sit very comfortably or walk around the ship. To be honest, if I could, I would go over to Sicily much more often.
It looks pretty poor there, but the nature is great, mountains, fields, Mount Etna, yes, I think I'll persuade my girlfriend to let us go over there ... Today!... So the persuasion attempt...

Do you even have a cabin there or do you really have to sit somewhere for 2 hours?


That sounds like a punishment now, that you have to hang out on the cutter for 2 hours and have to lie down in a cabin instead . I haven't traveled from Malta to Sicily yet, but from Helsinki to Tallinn, which also took about two hours. You walk left, then right, have a beer or two and you're already there . Like a train ride with a view of the sea

Yes, it's like that almost everywhere in southern Italy. Well, if you compare it with Milan or Turin. I've experienced both sides, so both northern and southern Italy and apart from Tuscany I would always prefer southern Italy. Not only the things you have already mentioned are better, but the food, the culture (even if some "traditions" are not so nice). Life is more relaxed there. You can roughly compare it to Spain. I personally think the whole island is beautiful, but I've seen a bit more of the western side (Palermo and nearby Cefalú). I can only recommend it to you. Etna is also beautiful, but I've only been to Catania once for 2 weeks. It was really nice, but unfortunately there are a lot of cats/dogs living on the streets.

I have rather negative memories of Milan, especially the school days It was much stricter than in Tuscany and the residential area was similar to Germany. In Tuscany I lived in a village; where there was a lot of green space^^

If I go to Malta, it wouldn't be wise to play on a ferry. It's certainly not worth going to a restaurant, so what's left? Either have a few drinks or just lie down and pass the time on my smartphone or sunbathe a bit ^^ I prefer to relax on my bed and listen to music for 2 hours but everyone has their own way of killing time

Well, I wouldn't deny that a cabin offers additional comfort and if I had one to hand, I would sometimes use it on short journeys But on an ICE journey from Nuremberg to Munich, for example, nobody would seriously think of doing that, Especially as this is also a cost factor, as you can accommodate a lot more walking people and normal seated passengers in one means of transport than filling the whole carriage with cabins, which are not desired or in demand anyway due to the high price. So, I'd better shut up now, because I have absolutely no idea about business management and transportation

Yes, I thought that a ship generally offers cabins, regardless of the duration of the trip. But it doesn't really make much sense to offer cabins for a <2h stay.

In fact, gambling is out of the question. Despite a swell of only 1 meter, I feel sick if I don't look out of the window. 🤣🤣🤣

You managed to persuade your girlfriend very quickly Thanks for the pictures! I would have imagined it differently. Especially not as tight as the 1st picture.

I'm sure there are a few people who have driven back and forth between Malta and Italy unplanned and then driven there again because the car seemed hot but didn't really want to

We will soon be making our 2nd cruise,
I noticed on the last one that the slots have few numbers and you can't actually read anything out where how much RTP is set for the slots, what else I noticed is that they are American slots, i.e. those offered in the Vegas casinos. You won't find a book of ra there.... Does anyone know more about the RTP?

👋

Novomatic and Merkur are fairly unknown outside of Europe, which is why you will usually only find slots from well-known providers such as Aristocrat, IGT and Light&Wonder in the cruise ship casinos.

The RTP's are, as for example in the casinos on Las Vegas Blvd. rather a tourist trap in the low 90% range.
However, if you are used to German casinos, you will definitely have a lot more gaming fun there 😉

Never forget the water wings.


The vending machines look so dark, are they off or is it deceptive in the picture?

sicily would also be worth a trip for me.
The winters there are probably more bearable than here in Germany.

I had also planned a "boat trip" from Huelva or Cadiz to Fuerte
to Fuerte. When I looked up the costs in October,
they were still around €600 including cabin and car. Depending on the Provider, the trip takes
a good 30 hours. One month later, the trip without the cabin cost €870.
They charged just under €300 for the cabin. The alternative would be Pullmanseats.
You can almost get a room in the Adlon for 300€. And those seats, I couldn't sleep on them.

When I was 15, there was a school exchange with English students,
The ferry trip went from the Netherlands to England.
There were lots of slots there too, I can't remember how much pocket money I got,
but as a curious kid I had about 5 pounds in 25 pence pieces.
It was a 5 reel slot...I can't remember which was the highest symbol,
at least 5x aristocat went in. The machine made a hell of a racket and it gave 2000 pounds.
I couldn't understand it at that age. How many extra friends you suddenly had.
And I don't want to say how much money I took home with me.
At least I couldn't gamble on the return journey.
Unfortunately, that had a big impact on me and cost me a lot of money afterwards.
Fortunately, I've had it under control for many years now.
