I recently had the pleasure of sailing aboard the Livingstone. In my line of work, I frequently switch vessels, but I was genuinely impressed with the facilities onboard this modern ship. I had a comfortable single cabin that made my stay enjoyable. As shown in the images, the vessel features a well-appointed bar area, complete with a darts board, table football, gaming equipment, and a variety of musical instruments. While it's referred to as a bar, it's worth noting that, like most working vessels, there is a strict no-alcohol policy. There is also a cinema The gym, though small, is excellently equipped with modern fitness equipment, and there's also a sauna available. Overall, the gym offers a solid mix of machines and tools for maintaining fitness while at sea. The food was of a high standard, and you always have access to the galley if you're looking for a drink or a snack between meals. One thing to keep in mind is the daily Wi-Fi limit. A crew member advised me to be cautious with auto-updating apps, as they can quickly consume your data allowance for the day. The cleaning staff onboard do an outstanding job— the vessel is always spotless, and it's clear they take great pride in maintaining a clean environment. In summary, I would happily work on the Livingstone again. It offers everything a modern vessel should, and the onboard facilities contribute to a highly comfortable and enjoyable experience.
