"The process of boarding the river boat for the cruise was a bit disorganized. Two boats were there to be loaded at the same time, which caused confusion for the passengers. There was no direction or announcements from the organizers to assist the passengers.
The cruise itself was nice, but the food was not very good. " Grand Pearl Dinner Cruise
