“To begin with, we were greeted nicely coming in- that was nice. However, upon checking in I have notified the person in charge that a friend of mine fell ill and that he wouldn’t be able to join with us and that we would like to have his paid meal instead. Multiple people ignored my request to either get refunded or get the foods that was already paid for. That was bad. Moreover, the overall experience was not good as the cruise had way too much line to where we couldn’t see the view outside due to the lights were not deemed. The only time the lights were deemed was…”

From the moment we met our drag queen to the very end of the night (our new found friends/our tour group ended up hanging out together well after the tour ended) the laughing never stopped! We kept saying our faces hurt from laughing so hard. It was filled with all the things you’d hope for: stops around Savannah with drink specials, stories, laughs and plenty of sassiness! YES QUEEN!”

“Grauenhaft. Statt 90 min. waren es 60 min. Das Essen vielfach kalt und einfach das billigste vom billigsten. Show eine einzige Abzocke auf Basis der Anmache. Die letzten 20 min. wurden nur damit zugebracht sich mit den Mädels für 100 Baht ablichten zu lassen. Ich kann nur jedem empfehlen die Finger davon zu lassen,- obwohl einigen Chinesen gefällt es”

“The activity was great! The drinks were good and the entertainment was nice. The directions were helpful, especially getting there early enough to pay the port taxes. The only issue was being able to find the boat we were going to be on which could be communicated better. I would like to at least know the name of the vessel prior to arriving! The staff around the dock were pretty helpful in locating the ship after asking around.”
