“Super fun trip - tons of energy by the crew which got the audience excited and moving along as well. We did have to explain to our 5 year old that it was all a show, no one died and that the pirates where actually actors and not bad. He also wanted to understand why the balloon popping game was so funny to the adults- lol. Such a great time , the drinks where strong and the whole night had great energy.”

This was same day of excursion. Had we not called, we would have shown up and had been even more disappointed (and out taxi fare). Good thing we checked:”
