The organization was not very coordinated. We didn't know that you had to pay extra for a place inside the boat. And due to weather conditions was the only option

It was exciting to watch the whole loading process and the night was a little rocking, well air-conditioned or a little cool and very pleasant until you were gently woken up with the light on
