Lovely evening aboard a lovely boat. Plenty of food and drink. Musicians were amazing and played any requests. Staff were attentive and helpful. We arrived before 18.30 and went straight onto the boat, so not kept waiting even though trip starts at 7.00. Cruise is at a leisurely pace, so it didn’t feel like we were rushing.
