Ferry to Nice

[lynbrown]

We have tickets ordered online to board the ferry from Ajaccio to Nice. We are foot passengers, no car. The conditions state you have to be there 90 minutes before departure. Is this meant just for the car drivers, or do foot passengers also have to be there so early? Can we just not walk on a few minutes beforehand?

Well maybe but don't rely on it. If all the cars are loaded half an hour before departure they'll probably go early.

And you MAY find that foot passengers are taken by bus from the terminal to the ferry - another reason for not cutting it fine.

Thanks. i will be sharp. But surely they cannot depart 30 mins before time - there has to be consideration of the tides and depth? Or am i wrong? Thye should stick close to a timetable I would have thought.
