Expired cranberry juice and enclosed boat ride

1.00Just a heads up, it was not closed that the boat is mostly enclosed ! There was very small Area where you could go outside but not all Open of a boat. Also, our drink from the bar tasted different. We just ordered sex on the beach and the bartender look it up the recipe our drink was disgusting so my friend and I went back and I told him we can’t drink this. Can we just get vodka cranberry, and a splash of orange juice I noticed that the cranberry juice looked very off in color so I asked if his cranberry juice he said yeah I said it seems pretty light. Can I see it? He showed it to me and the bottle was expired from September 2024 he apologize but we ended up just getting trullys. so people if you go, please make sure when they’re making your drinks to check if anything looks funny about the juice they may have because it clearly shows they do not check their products expiration dates and if you’re looking to fill the breeze outside just know most of the ride is all enclosed. The appetizers were delicious and the staff was friendly.
Amazing time on this cruise!

3.00Basic ~90 mins cruise, average but adequate appetisers and dessert bites. The title suggests it includes cocktails but it does not, 1 cocktail and 1 white claw costs a little over $26. No commentary but there was a dj playing good music. Staff were happy and polite
More than expected
