Getting the wenesday night ferry to Patras from Ancona, What is the coup, regards meals , sharing accomodation etc ?
Been a while since ive been on but 24 hour crossing with your meals included.If its not to busy you will get a cabin to yourself but if not you could be bunked up with another driver though they will try and put you with someone of same nationality
If you are travelling Anek or Minoan ask for the driver discount card at reception
when you board!
your meal isnt included, you have to pay, but if you ask at reception when you book your cabin you get a discount card that you will have to hand in when you hand cabin card in. you can get (as i have) your own personal card with your name on, so you dont have to ask when you board everytime. you will get 25-50% reduction depending on who youre sailing with. Anek Lines you will usually get your own cabin, the other 2 are pot luck, thou you can ask (if its not too busy) to pay extra and have a cabin by yourself. You wont nesissarily get a cabin with a GB driver (there may not be any on board for a start!! ) Last time i was on (summer) i had to share with 2 Germans, have had to share with Turks, and Bulgarians before now, had to get in the shower quick as 5 mins later they had a clothes line in there!! The drivers have there own seperate part to eat in as well. Your card will also get you discount at the bar! 
On Superfast your discount card is the cabin key, 50% food. Never get a single on them though in my experience. Dont forget to take plenty of money for port taxes. Caught me out first time.
ive got my owm discount card for superfast, you can ask for an application form at reception ,thou if you only travel once or twice its not worth it i suppose. discount and cabin= both do the same thing!
On Minoan boat now, sharing with an english greek,got the discount card, paid port tax 20 euro , every think 50% off with card

One thing no one has mentioned about this crossing , is the amount of illegal’s to greet you when returning to the boat to go back too Italy, Running behind the truck ,trying the door’s ,wandering all around the port, hey but i’ts nice to be wanted. Also went on a little boat over to an island called ,Thassos, tipped a job there, very nice
