“Show was ok. Food very very average. I would not go on this cruise again. Booked through getyourguide. It said its 5* rating. Show was decent, not great. SACRABEE Cruise is the name. It was only 30% capacity occupied. Says something about popularity. Do not recommend. Issue with doing through getyourguide is we do not know who they are engaging as their partners. Its not transparent. If partner is known in advance we can check reviews and ratings before booking. Booking through getyourguide is a bit like shooting in the dark !”
