We had so much fun on...

We had so much fun on this excursion. We didn't see much off the boat but there was so much to see inside we were very happy. We did have a table near the dance floor, that was a big help for our 8 year old, I'm not sure he'd be able to see from a table further back. The food was delicious and the entertainment lively. There was a bit of a hiccup with transportation but I had changed the original order so I'll take responsibility for it. The discrepancy was refunded quickly. I'm actually booking this tour again to bring my middle kid and my mother in a few months!
