Anyone taken the ferry from Penang to Medan (and/or Medan to Penang)?

Anything we need to beware of?

Appreciate any advice you can pass on to make the trip a good one.

Cheers!

Did it in 2004 and was fine then.

try to seat at the front raws, away from the engine - there are no seat numbers so who is first takes the seat. If you have a large luggage you can't take it into the cabin - they have a separate lower deck for a cargo.

there is a very small upper deck without any chairs, you can seat on it if is not raining
