the check in at the terminal it was so easy, the ship was amazing, everything so modern and so nice, plenty of choices to eat or to buy, you have plenty of facilities on the ship. as well when coming back to Helsinki the station to get you back in town is right next to terminal. I believe it cost me as well less than one ticket from the official site.
