Excellent. Thank you.
That is a different website than I was looking at, which explains why I couldn’t see it.
You can book this in advance via email saving the queuing and potentially no tables left by the time you get to the front of the queue.
Just off the Pont Aven this afternoon in Santander. Excellent experience.
My tips….. We were in the first row of cars onto the ship, so my buddy headed straight to book a table at the restaurant.
Boarded at just after 4pm, they weren’t starting to take restaurant bookings until 5.30. We joined the queue at 5.10pm and it took half an hour to get a booking.
The meal was worth every penny at 120 Euro including wine.
But my tip is, get the bill and pay just outside at the reservation desk. The young lady who served us tried to take payment twice at the table but struggled with Bluetooth connectivity. She then sent me outside to pay.
This morning when I got WiFi I find out I’ve been charged 120 Euro three times on my Revolut card.
Showed the app and receipt to guest services who tell me it’s probably been pre authorised and won’t be claimed.
That’s not my experience of Revolut… prepaid cards don’t usually pre authorise payments.
I’m sure it will be sorted, but is gonna take time.
Last tip… first night heading south we were looking at Burgos. So was everyone else we spoke to.
Changed plan and went a little below that to a quaint town called Covarrubias. Great call.
But make sure and stay off the main road. N623 is an excellent road.

Stupid question, but when you book a crossing is the cabin included in the price. If not do you just sleep in an empty chair?
Cabin not included. You can choose from a range of cabins or a reclining chair in one of the lounges if you like poverty travel
I think I might not have a choice as it doesn't look like there are any cabins left!Cabin not included. You can choose from a range of cabins or a reclining chair in one of the lounges if you like poverty travel
Bugger!
In that case, take earplugs, an eye mask and a sense of humour.
There might be one cabin left on the way back. Can you only call to book a cabin, not online?

I would always phone to make an amendment as you can haggle over cost. They might also know that someone has changed a booking and released a cabin in both directions.
oh, and even if you do not prebook a cabin, go straight to reception on the ferry when you board. There will always be a no show and they will happily sell you any unoccupied cabin.
