We did the cruise on 3/6, and the cruise was absolutely lovely.
However, the menu offered to us was not the exact menu written on your website. And I told my waiter that I wanted the fish without the lobster sauce cause I can not eat Lobster.. When I received my fish dish, it did have lobster sauce on it, so I had to wait for some time for my dish, while the other 3 members of my party did receive their choices correctly,
The singer was very, very good that night.
All in all, we had a great time.
When we left the cruise ship and walked to the right to get to the street in order to call a taxi, there was very poor lighting there on the way, and late at night, it's difficult to see and the path is not even. Someone could've fallen.
