Booked a cruise for 8/1...

Booked a cruise for 8/1 through Viator. Followed the boarding instructions exactly and there was no ship, no staff, no signage, nothing. Met several other people on the pier who’d bought the same fake tickets and were just as stuck. Viator. Avoid this listing.

Great experience but I...

Great experience but I been on the boat for 60 minutes not 90 minutes. I enjoyed the tour. The bar is super over priced

Didn’t even see the boat we were supposed to get on

We had booked a sunset cruise through Viator for Tuesday, Aug 18th. We got a message from the vendor late Sunday night asking us to reschedule. We agreed and rescheduled to the following day, Wed 19th, at 7 PM. We get to the dock 15 minutes early, at 6:45 PM, and we only saw 1 boat docked so we walked towards it. Long story short, that was not our boat. At that point we assumed our boat was late, since there was NO BOAT at slip 6. We circled back and found the check in desk at 6:58 PM, and we learned from them that the boat had apparently already left at 6:54 ish - which we did not believe, as we were literally there at 6:54 and there was NO BOAT. Nowhere on the ticket or confirmation email did it say to arrive early or that the boat would leave before 7PM. We were then offered the 8:30 departure, however, that would no longer be a sunset cruise, and we had not planned our days and later dinner around that, so we ended up abandoning the boat ride altogether.

Disappointing

I was at the pier but no boat was there. I tried calling the number on the reservation but got no response. I tried to get my refund, but no one has responded.
