With all the horror stories that are coming out about the facilities for the Olympic athletes in Rio de Janeiro, the U.S. basketball team can breathe a sigh of relief.
Instead of living in the Olympic village, both the men’s and women’s USA basketball teams will get to stay in a luxury cruise ship called “The Silver Cloud.”
The ship is absolutely massive. It can house 400 people and features 196 cabins. It’s going to be docked in Maua Port Terminal during the Olympic games.
It’s basically a fancy hotel that floats on the water. The ship’s security is also going to be extremely formidable.
