The ticketing process was smooth and trouble free. The instructions requiring the online tickets to be exchanged at the upper level (street) ticket office prior to boarding should be better explained to those reserving online. The cruise was enjoyable and the lunch offerings were excellent and delish. It was an enjoyable way to spend part of the afternoon. The PA tour comments onboard the ship could be better as they were hard to hear clearly.

The uncomplicated booking of tickets via cell phone was very convenient. The service team on site was always friendly and helpful! We really enjoyed the start of the tour! Unfortunately, we did not get enough information about the tour in advance and so we drove a very long part of the route past busy roads and/or highways, which unfortunately made the trip unattractive for us. We were very satisfied with the service and would not book the small round trip again. We were very satisfied with the team on board.

I have very positive memories of the service on board, the smooth boarding and disembarking process and the friendly welcome at the start of the trip. This was due to the dedicated team that made this possible, even though several offers of the same kind had to be completed for them one after the other and without a break. .
