Classy Cruise - The cruise was spectacular! The lights were so pretty. And the crew was so nice! I don't remember the gentleman's name, however, he was approximately in his 50s and was sporting an awesome White thick mustache. He was very kind to me and should we given some type of reward for his going out of his way to help me on to the boat and to my seat and to get a drink and then to help me back off the boat again. Also, captain Tom was a great captain on our cruise!

Good - The view was amazing. But it needs more variety of Christmas music to make it more enjoyable. I did not like the sound of the music and the music itself.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE - Horrible customer service - even before I went to the event. Because we have bad sea sick, we wanted to cancel not knowing that the holiday event is absolutely non refundable. The customer service (Cecilia - last name was not given because it is her privacy) hung up on me while I was struggling if I still want to cancel or not, and emailed cancellation confirmation. It is non refundable ticket and she didn't even confirm my final decision and cancel the reservation. I don't know if I can enjoy the event now. WONDERFUL WAY TO SPOIL THE HOLIDAY.
