So much contradictory information when following up with booking company as we never received the confirmation. Then when I had to exchange the booking voucher at the terminal the booking company had given me the wrong reference number so we spent 20 minutes at the terminal and almost missed our ferry even though we had arrived early. Then the dining venue didnt have our lunch booking, luckily I called them to make a reservation after the rigmarole at the ferry terminal. It was our second choice venue even though we had booked 2 months in advance. And the meal wasnt as advertised. We ended up with a platter not a 2 course meal for main and desert as hsd been advertised. The food was a let down, as was our table seating. Not worth the money paid at all or the amount of time spent emailing or phoning back and forth. This is the second booking ive had an issue with through this company and wont be using them again. Disappointed.
