Comments	We were on a 7 night trip from Bima to Komodo to Bali. My wife and I shared the Bridge deck state room. The room is much larger and has plenty of fresh air. Many people below complained about the smell of diesel fumes. The fumes were so bad that some people had to sleep in the common areas. There were also odors coming up from the toilet. They would come daily to deodorize and we would open the windows to air out the room. I was on a boat in Belize which has no odor at all. I don't have a lot to compare to, but the smell was very unpleasant. On the other side of the coin, the staff was great. They did everything to make our stay the best it could be. The food was very good. I had a bad cold and one of the staff members gave me cold and flu medication. This definately saved my trip. The diving was fantastic. The hard and soft corals were amazing. The diving was better than anything I have experienced. The variety of fish and the critters blew me away. Over all I loved the trip and would do it again. I would definately recommend paying for the bridge deck room. Hopefully the boat owners can improve some of the other problems.
