Did get chance to say thank you properly today but wanted to say what a great time we had with my 3 and 1 year old on the Pirate and Mermaid Cruise! Lots to keep the children entertained and appreciated the refreshments for both children and adults. Great value.

We joined in a Pirate and Mermaid takeover today and had a fantastic time! Our 4.5 year old loved every minute, and we were all really impressed with how fantastic the crew were, and what great value it was. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you!

My two grandchildren loved it, the pirates entertained the children, they played games, had tattoos done, got a drink and cookies, every child got a chance to steer the ship and wear the captains hat, adults had a choice of tea coffee or rum punch. All the children received a goodie bag. It was a lovely time and I would definitely recommend it.

This is our second year on the Christmas cruise & once again it hasn’t disappointed. Sadly this year (due to the weather) we had to stay docked, but this didn’t ruin the magic. The santa was amazing & the elves even more so, especially Jingle, who went above and beyond to make my princess feel special the whole trip. See you next year 🥰

Absolutely brilliant company and value for money. We’ve done two now (mermaids and pirates, and cruise with Father Christmas) and the staff really put in effort to be engaging with both the kids and the adults. Great value for money as well. Highly recommend.
