Everyone was friendly and inviting. We then got our room keys, and were led to our room to unpack.

The room was very small, 185 square feet. No rooms had balconies as this is a large yacht/small cruise ship. We had one large window.

The room can equipped with soft linens and a tv which showed 2 or 3 different popular movies each Day in a loop along with CNN World and ship channels.
