“The instructions for the meeting plate was inaccurate. had multiple groups of individuals standing at a corner, confused about where to go. if we didn't walk down the street. We would have missed the boat. me and my party arrived 45 minutes early waiting on a corner for no one to show up and no signs. also inside the boat there was very little air circulation, so it became very warm and stuffy. On a positive note the food was delicious and the staff were very friendly.”
