Klaes SVery poor conditions in a 32 hour ride. I recommend it for the experience and for the money saved on flights, but don't expect a comfortable ride.

Richard MBelieved it to be a 24 hour trip. Boarded at 4pm as directed but the ship didn't leave until 10pm. And tge Air conditioning in the "premium class" didn't start until we shipped out at 10, then it only ran for 8 hours of what turned out to be 37 hours from boarding to disembarking! Very basic dorm bunk beds!
