Life on board is rather comfortable. It is worth mentioning the cookie box which was always 
filled with little chocolate snacks balancing depressed serotonin levels. There is enough 
space for meetings and for social activities. Some sports equipment and a sauna is kindly 
appreciated. Cabins are comfortable but the crew should regularly check the proper function 
of water discharge pipes. It is recommended to motivate scientific crews to carefully tidy up 
and clean their cabins before leaving the vessel. Carpets and beddings need some refresh- 
ing.
