“It was so disappointing, Doncaster in the advert to bring cash , bring change of clothes , beachwear and day bag when there was no need we didn’t get off the damn boat . In small print it said you don’t get off which is not fair . They had the opportunity to fix but chose to charge us for for 4 people for an extra day trip which was ridiculous. Packed lunch you said but we ate it on the boat how disgusting. Would never book with you again”
