50 % ok 50% terrible

We did the 2 hour cruise, the direction down to the port is fine 5/5 , then it turnarounds and comes back , picks up more people then goes in the other direction. This direction is terrible unless you want a view of only city graffiti on the riverbank and plastic rubbish floating in the river. A boom net was in evidence but can’t be used that often as it was terrible 1/5.
