So we left the dock over 2 hours late, and they decided to dock almost an hour early. Without any sort of explanation.

SOS played some good tunes (not their best set ever, but good), but quite frankly I feel ripped off. I'm expecting a formal apology as well.

Agreed.

Being my first boat cruise, I was VERY disappointed with how short it was.

On a plus note, Happy Birthday Rachel! Being with great friends really made the day.


PS. Nice talking to you Jamie.

Apologies. I'm aware of that now. Beer + sun will do that to a man.

Either way.... today's cruise bore eerie similarities to Canada Day's cruise, primarly the late departure (although it didn't quite leave as late as this one) & the severely early return.

So let's just go with this then:

If you're going to organize a boat cruise, ensure that your supporters/patrons/attendees/fan/&whateverthehellelsethey'recalled people get their money's worth. & if that means pulling off the dock right at whatever-friggin-time it says on the ticket, so be it.

man o man am I glad I didn't go to this event. Sounds shambolic at best.

what a shame :/
musicallly this had some serious potential!!!!

sort of glad i didn't dish out the cash for this one.

exsqeeze me? the cruise today was not one of ours.. and all of our cruises have been on the water for a min 4 hours... except canada day which was late leaving dock, but also came back later.. in the end we only only lost 10 mins.

The May cruise was on the water for over 4.25 hours

the howells cruise last year was on the water for almost 5 hours.. I think it was about 4 and 45 mins.

the may cruise last year was on the water for 4.5 hours



That being said, shitty that the departure was delayed, but sometimes shit happens... and the promoter is at the mercy of the captain of the boat. If he won't stay out later, there is absolutely nothing the promoter can do about it.

Canada Day left late because of people (partiers) showing up late. Normally I would leave, but when it's a steady stream of people casually walking up there's not much you can do about it. You just suddenly start telling people that are there at the dock and who have paid for tickets that even though the boat is still there, they can't come on and you're leaving them there at the dock.

Beautiful weather

Very upset that 70 of my friends paid $50 bucks for what I think was 1.5 hours of music. The FULL volume of music only went from 2.30 - 4. Lame. And very upsetting.

Thank you though, everyone, being with friends made me *almost* not notice the lack of party.

I am one hell of a lucky girlie

Well I can understand why the boat couldn't stay later than what was first negotiated. a promoter isnt in any position to get the captain and the crew to stay later esp at the last moment.

What I dont understand is why didnt the boat take off at 1pm.
There was 2 very capable Dj's on board.
Isnt there a saying for this "the show must go on"

anyways if i had a time machine i wouldn't have done up the boat cruise and just hit up the Docks for Demi and Omid 16b and a really good soundsystem as opposed to the distortion on the boat

the party at the docks saved the day for me
