Awesome Enjoy the cruise
Magnificent! Such a good experience for a 40th! It was an absolute perfect experience. We were so blessed with perfect weather! Catered for everyone: one could take part in the dancing inside or just enjoy the spectacular view outside. Cape Town is a beautiful city. Had lots of fun on the boat with Dutch guests as well. Safety briefing before was good. Our grandchildren or 7 and 9 enjoyed themselves as well. Thanks for a super experience.
Recommended, do not forget to pay 30 rands extra and do the harbor cruise too…
