Free tea service has been discontinued. I bring my own tea bags so it's not necessary, but I wish they would continue to provide hot water.

I have got really impressed with the cleaning of all the environments, the amenities helped a lot to save time when you want to take a fast breakfast and go, or to relax in a pool without traveling long distances. The best part is to meet people around the world and make new friends and connections during your trip.
