Terrible - I book up the cruise in the morning online and the online said the ship was going from Boston to Salem at 10:30 AM. When we got to the gate, they said they sold us the wrong tickets. That The boat was coming from Salem to Boston at 10:30 AM. I’ve been trying to get my refund but nobody’s seems like they want to help worst experience ever in my life.
