“Loved it. The boat is comfortable and the staff attentive. But it is very chaotic waiting to board. The buffet is very crowded and disorganized with people everywhere. It would be more enjoyable if the guests were called by table groups to the buffet, instead of people butting in everywhere. It makes it very stressful. I don't feel we enjoyed the excellent food provided.”

If was very mixed groups, those dressed up and those who were just passing and bought a ticket in the way home from the bars.”
