“Do not expect to see any wildlife on this trip. Unnecessarily loud music and flowing alcohol which was not really our thing, should really have been more clearly advertised as a booze cruise as I wouldn't have booked for my family including elderly parents and children who wanted to see dolphins. Staff were extremely friendly and the drinks were unlimited. Lunch was a bowl of pasta spirals with what seemed to be mayo, cucumber and sweetcorn and a chunk of bread.
