Reviews

Just wanted to let you know that we had a fabulous time on the lunch cruise today.
The staff were lovely and very friendly.
They even took the time to pipe Happy Birthday on the dessert plate, might have been some kind of icing.
The view out the window was lovely too.
We even got to meet a lovely couple on the next table and the lady was also celebrating her birthday.
Great day all round.
