Catalina Classic Cruises

Horrible!!! Please be advised that yesterday May 28, 2015, my 13 year old son was traveling with his school from Camp Cimi on your boat — Catalina King which departed Catalina at approximately 12:30 pm. At that time he was required to sweep the boat, fold boxes and clean for an hour as demanded by one of your crew members. Your crew member said that because my son left an empty water bottle on his seat when he left to use the restroom, he was required to clean. Can you tell me where on your policy for guests this is a requirement. I paid for my child to ride on your boat and yet he was required to clean the boat for an hour. There is an obvious abuse of power by a crew member who was extremely confrontational and inappropriate with the children on the boat yesterday afternoon. In another instance, the children had two candy wrappers on the table as they sat and talked. Your staff person told the children that they must take it to the garbage at that moment and he followed them to the garbage can. He stood next to them for 5 minutes and stared, making them very uncomfortable. I hope that you will provide better training for your crew in the future. Stay away from this company. Staff are bazaar, inappropriate with children!

Take 2 Entertainment hosted their ‘Boatylicious’ event on the 3^rd of May. The cruise boat was a little out dated and reminded me of The Office episode where Michael takes his colleagues out for the evening. I am not rating based on the event, but the boat was a bit messy along with démodé upholstery. It just wasn’t what i was expecting, but then again, the event was an 18+ over mini ‘EDC’ event anyway with roaring young teens with lack of mindfulness. Nonetheless, the cruise was smooth and didn’t even feel like we were on a boat. Would I give them a try again? Quite truthfully, no, sorry Catalina Classic Cruises.
