Daily satellite newssheet

It's provided free each morning.

The ship's laundry, dry cleaning, and tailoring department does quality, moderately priced work. And there is a small self-service launderette with two washing machines and driers.

Onboard medical center

A medical doctor and nurse oversee it. The facility has basic emergency medical equipment and a stock of standard medicine.
