We booked a lunch for Kerrie's 60th birthday with Vagabond Cruises as she has never been in the water cruises. It was for Saturday 25th of February 2023. Departure 12:30 PM. Due to the Mardi grass celebrations on that night, hundred of thousands of visitors were in Sydney that day. Unexpected massive traffic on the city. My son was trap on the traffic with his partner, his 4 children and the grandmother who was celebrating her 60th birthday. Impossible to reach the boat on time. My family missed the cruise. All celebration was ruined. Onboard only 9 people of the party. I was totally distressed as my grand children, my children and Kerrie, the other grandmother, were not there. Approached by the cruise coordinator, I was assured that they will be returning the boat to the wharf to collect my family within 20 minutes. The boat owner was onboard and he ordered the crew to do so. As the wharf was busy, the boat wasn't able to get into the wharf and the cruise was due to start navigating. The boat owner then, instruct my family to reach to the Man o war steps in Circular Q, Opera House side to be able to collect them there. And there my family was taken onboard!!!!!!. It was such a great feeling and an immense relief for our hearts. I have traveled all around the world. I have been in many cruises before. This one was the most special one due to people who not give us good food and entertaining if NOT, the assurance that the human race still holding good Samaritan people with us, Thank you so much for been so kind!!!!! My respect and the assurance we will be back to your boat for further celebrations ( on time of course!!)
