Viator Must Provide More Info for Excursions - Viator should give more information about whether or not travellers were able to buy brunch on the 11:30 am boat ride. We didn't know and had brunch elsewhere.

It will be just that... - It will deliver exactly what was offered. No more, but no less. However, the declarations are only made on the outward journey.
