“Firstly the boat didn’t resemble the ones shown on the website. It was the size of a bathtub with a canopy. The guy driving the boat didn’t say a word. There was no engagement and it was a recorded narration throughout the journey. It was that dreary and un engaging that my Wife almost nodded off to sleep. I wouldn’t recommend this particular cruise unfortunately”
