Edward – United States

First, the staff was excellent and very accommodating with our reservation and want to thank them again. Pirate Captain and crew were marvelous, very entertaining and kept us swabs engaged in the show! Can’t forget Stinky Pete for his ‘soaking performance’. A wonderful fun cruise for all! Hats off from Epic Ed!
