“We booked on to the 7:30 trip and we were given the option to either get off at 9 or stay on until the end so we chose to stay on until the end and thank god we did! 7:30-9 was live music and a few songs, but from 9 onward was when the real show started!! The dancers were brilliant and the music was lovely. We had so much fun, and even got to do the conga around the boat and learn some dance steps. This was the hush light of our whole trip, 10/10 - so much fun!”
