"i. How did you find the experience overall? We were happy with seeing the dolphins.
ii. How was the communication before the experience? Found that the documentation was light on information. Addresses etc. Needed to refer to the original email to get missing details.
iii. How well did the experience match the original description on the Australian Explorer website? Good.
iv. On your experience did you feel like a valued customer? Yes very much! Staff were great.
v. Would you recommend this experience to others? Yes!
vi. Additional Feedback: Captain spoke too much on the cruise. I guess you can't win with this one. Some would like the info. We didn’t. Became background noise rather than information. Although he was funny at times. Your staff are great and very accommodating!"
