It was disorganised, but I expected that. As long as you're patient and don't mind all the madness, you'll arrive at your destination with Grimaldi. The had a swimming pool and music to go with the bar. IMPOSSIBLE to access by FOOT. The only way to get to the terminal is with a car. If you don't have one you have to get a taxi, which is 30€ fixed price. Website says nothing of this. Hotline (which is a robot voicemail in Italian, you have to understand italian in order to get to a real person) person had no idea what to tell me, he just straight up said he didn't know what I should do. Ferry is also old, seats stained, etc. Book Corsica Sardinia ferries or something else instead. Grimaldi is just business as usual, doing its job. Don't get up from your cabin too early... They start screaming like idiots get out get out... Don't listen to them, sleep over No problems boarding, but requiring check-in 2 hours before departure is definitely pushing it! Our cabin was immaculate, it was very well sound-proofed and we slept very well! The snack and drink prices were high (as to be expected) but all in all, it was a good experience. We have had worse experiences with other companies. I was also pleased that the staff did not allow travelers to start the car engines until the last minute before leaving the ferry. Overall, great experience. This is the place you should put into your GPS when coming to the port in Livorno. I took the to Olbia and found the place without any issues. There were a number of personnel directing people with cars to line up and follow the onboarding path. I was travelling at the end of June and there were a lot of cars but found the process very easy and well organised. I was a bit worried reading all the bad reviews but my experience was quite the opposite. I drove onto the without any problems and further instructions were given inside as well. Same when we disembarked in Olbia. The ship is big and there are a number of restaurants and coffee bars on board. The staff is not very nice at these as they don’t like English speaking passengers it seems. But I’ve got my coffee (although with a side of attitude). You can rent a cabin or just gather in a big area that has lounges and lounge chairs but the room is rather cold due to the aircon. So bring a sweater and maybe even a blanket. Some people were sleeping in this area but most were playing board and card games or reading. I took the that left in the morning at 10:30am, we were delayed by about 30 minutes and it took over an hour to leave the ship in Olbia. So factor that into your planning. Huge traffic jam on the way out of Olbia pier and into the city. That alone took an hour. It was a long day… We took a from Olbia to Livorno with Grimaldi Lines. We didn't have a car, so we needed to catch a bus to Livorno train station, but we couldn't because there are no taxis or buses at the port. We also needed to cross a bridge to reach the nearest bus stop, but that wasn't possible either. It's only possible with a car. The company should warn all customers that it is not possible to arrive at the port of Livorno without a motor vehicle. This company has not earned half a star. I took a from Livorno to Olbia. First, there is no option for people traveling by foot or bicycle to come to the ferry, furthermore no information what to do in that case... Second the staff is unfriendly and unmotivated, ilwhich made feel like I am not welcome on the ship. The food options are timely very limited. One staff member told us that its ok to have the promo deal between two people, the other was really offended when we then tried to order. In the end we didn't eat there. On top of that security took my camping knife from my bag as there was a airport-like security check for foot passengers, but not for cars. Music and DJ on the deck are horrible. My First Boat Trip, Livorno Olbia - the view I found in the morning, unearthly...
