“2 criticisms comes to mind, firstly it was called a Sunset dinner Cruise, our cruise was completed before sunset. Secondly the food wasn’t great, the main course was cold and the chicken very dry. A bit of a disappointment, I booked the cruise for 6 people to celebrate a 90th birthday and everyone was disappointed with their main course.”
