“No es uno de los barcos más nuevos, aunque esté recién pintado. Hay suficiente comida, aunque muy poca variedad, y la cerveza ilimitada parece aguada, es autoservicio desde una jarra grande que van rellenando. Hay varios espectáculos durante el recorrido, entretenido y suficiente. El último fue con diferencia el más divertido, de cabaret con dos “mujeres”. Un recorrido bonito, y por el precio sin quejas, pero no contar mucho con la comida, y disfruta del trayecto.”
