“We kregen zonder uitleg een andere boot, een piratenschip met een schreeuwerige dame die het publiek probeerde op te zwepen. Keiharde muziek, slechte zitplaatsen, koud eten. slechts keer aan wal maar er is eigenlijk niets te zien behalve verkopers. Voor kinderen tot 5 jaar is dit een leuke atraktie, voor de rest werd je als een infantiel benaderd. Van de 7 uren zit je 5 op de boot. Niet aan te bevelen tenzij je een volslagen idioot bent.”
