“It’s not really a nice relaxed cruise none of them are on any booking site unless your doing the pirate one more likely.. they blast music so loud you literally can’t talk to anyone on the boat which is annoying as your socialising but I’ve done it twice and good photos and to meet people but some boats are tiny you can’t even stand.. and the rum drinks am have been watered down in I don’t care what they say.. we all agreed on our tour.. also if you have kids or are very old do not book this you will not like it I promise you.”
