02/08/2024

Due to unforeseen glitches and changes needed we have not been able to open up our Christmas Lights bookings this morning as planned. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience, delay and frustration for our customers waiting to secure their tickets. We are just as eager to begin getting excited for our favourite time of year. We have worked all year to increase the number of cruises running, having 2 boats and 3 cruise type options, and the popular grazing boxes now can be booked on both boats. Like our cruises, the finishing touches and extra attention to detail, are worth the effort and time. I will be updating again as soon as I get a realistic timeframe. I am hoping it will be tonight. I won't open it up before this evening to ensure those waiting patiently don't have to keep checking all afternoon. I also yet need to be able check and ensure that no double bookings or other errors can be made that would cause any more inconvenience.

I will be getting back to all the messages from this morning to update. We are not able to take new phone bookings as planned today sorry. Phone bookings will need to open when the online bookings are ready. Thank you for your patience so far.
