Erittäin hyvä hinta-laatusuhde. Kiva vanha laiva ja laivan tunnelma. Edullinen yöpymishinta ja siihen kuului vielä aamiainen. Kävelymatka sekä satamaan että sataman juna-asemalle. Ainoa miinus oli sekava logistiikka läheisen parkkipaikan suhteen, ennen kuin tajusi, mistä kohtaa laivalle pystyy kävelemään ja miten ne eristeaidat menevät.

Hieno palvelu. Itse vähän sähläsin avaimen ja hieman sokkeloisten käytävien kanssa. Mukava henkilökunta auttoi. Hyvä aamupala.

Yöpyminen yhden henkilön hyttihuoneessa oli mukava kokemus. Kaikki toimi mainiosti ja nukuin hyvin. Ikkunasta oli näkymät Turun linnan suuntaan. Yhteisissä oleskelutiloissa katselin mm. kymppiuutisia. Aamupalalla oli tarjolla superhyvää riisipuuroa, yrttileipää ja paljon muuta maistuvaa. Bore on edullinen ja mielenkiintoinen majoituspaikka Aura-joen rannalla. Aamusauna jäi vielä kokeilematta, mutta ehkä seuraavalla reissulla. Suosittelen laivamajoitusta lämpimästi!
