GroupVerified bookingApr 20265/5Very well organized; on that cold but sunny day, standing on deck was certainly a bit of a challenge, but it was simply brilliant: The table service was top-notch, and a big thank you to the announcer on the mic for all the information and the humorous interludes—that was really fun!!!
