This is a dishonest business. I made a reservation for 15 people a week in advance, but they changed my reservation to another ship without any notice. I even had to go to the office to confirm it in person 2 days in advance.
What is even more unacceptable is that the replacement boat s cancelled due to a malfunction. I do not recommend this boat if you are not willing to let your money and time fool you.
What an experience...the atmosphere and the music and the friendliness of the support crew
