“Took an hour and a half after our meeting time to leave. We pulled back in 3 times to get more and more people onboard. It was a very packed boat, not everybody got a seat and there was not enough snacks for everybody. We didn’t get water as promised and got charged more for drinks than agreed. Positive was the people on the boat were fun and up dancing. It was a fun time but not what we expected”
