Do Not Waste Money

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! We could not find the starting point of this tour. Several vendors for similar thing that send you on a chase to no end. We never were able to do this tour and denied a refund. We used the chat to try and find it and not helpful. THERE IS NO GUIDE

Operator response

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience — this is certainly not the standard we aim to provide. The meeting point for this tour is clearly outlined in the confirmation details, and our team is always available to assist in real-time to help guests locate it. That said, we understand how frustrating it must have been not being able to find the starting point, especially when time is limited. To clarify, this is a self-guided experience and does not include a live tour guide, which is also noted in the booking description. However, we recognize that this may not have been clear enough and will review how this information is presented to avoid any confusion in the future. We’d appreciate the opportunity to look into this further and make things right. Please contact us directly with your booking details so we can review your case. Your feedback is important and helps us improve.

Wasted Money and Time

We booked for 8:30PM and it was confirmed online. We got at the venue at 7:30pm as it was stated in the instructions to be there 45mins prior to the schedule. Nobody was at the Kiosk. After 45mins of waiting, the water taxi has arrived only to be told that 7PM was their last trip and there’s no 8:30pm trip. We’re scheduled to head to Orlando that same night and we just wasted our time waiting for nothing. On top of that, we paid 50$ for the parking fee too! I demand a refund for the tickets and parking fees!

Ship review

Check in location was very confusing. We didn’t get on the boat until 3:30. The ride was an hour. It was really sub par.

Fingers off

Total failure, greatest time of the tour through the harbor docks, not the villas of the VIP”s. The boat came of age, Constant interruption of the sound system thus the information that arrived from the tour guide was incomplete.

Operator response

Unser Ziel ist es, unseren Gästen ein informatives und angenehmes Erlebnis zu bieten – umso bedauerlicher ist es, dass es bei der Technik und der Routenführung Probleme gab.

Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, uns Ihre Eindrücke mitzuteilen. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Sie uns in Zukunft noch einmal eine Chance geben würden!

Staff were lovely and helpful.

Great experience. In the comfy vip gondola. Staff explained everything to me and the fact that you can listen to your own music was great. They put the solo female at ease. Thankyou.

Operator response

Mediocre Cruise

The tour guide was very informative. However due to false advertising in regards to Hard Rock Meal included the overall experience was not as enjoyable as one would expect.

Your comments are very important, and we’ll review them closely to ensure our guests always receive clear and accurate information.

Ehhh

To start with, I bought the boat cruise along with the Hardrock meal. I couldn’t figure out if we were suppose to eat first or after. I called the number listed and the man kind of had an attitude with me when I asked. He said “what does your ticket said?” I told him it didn’t say what time we were supposed to eat but the ticket said the event started at 6pm. So he says to eat before and be there at the boat before 6pm. Great, so me and my 3 daughters get there at 5:10 pm. We waited right at pier 1, to the right of the Ferris wheel, exactly where the ticket says to. It’s 5:45 and we notice no one else is there so I look over to the left, straight in front of the Hard Rock Cafe, and there’s a line of people. I walk over and ask the guy under the umbrella and he says yes that is the line, checks us in and then proceeds to tell me the boat isn’t coming until 7. He doesn’t say why, just hands us wristbands and tells us to wait further down away from where we were originally told to meet. If the boat was suppose to be at 7, then maybe you should say that instead of saying 6pm. We waited in the sun for almost 2 hours! The boat ride was ok. The speaker was good, but the boat ride was literally only 1 hour, not 90 mins We left 7:09 and returned at 8:10. I wouldn’t go on this excursion again.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re so sorry for the confusion and long wait you and your daughters had to endure—it’s definitely not the experience we want for our guests. We understand how frustrating it must have been with the timing mix-up and the sun exposure. We’re glad you were able to enjoy the boat ride itself, but we truly regret that the overall experience didn’t meet your expectations. Your feedback is very important, and we’ll be working with our team and partners to improve communication and scheduling for future guests. We really appreciate your patience and hope to provide you with a smoother, more enjoyable experience next time.

Not worth it!

This was not a kid friendly experience and you couldn’t understand what was going on because you couldn’t hear the announcer most of the time. Drinks are EXTREMELY overpriced and from what was advertised was not what was offered. Would not recommend.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide a family-friendly and enjoyable atmosphere, and we regret if the sound and announcements were difficult to hear during your visit. We also take note of your comments regarding drinks and offerings, as we are continuously working to improve both clarity in communication and overall value for our guests. Your input is important to us, and we’ll be reviewing these points carefully to make necessary improvements. We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future.
