Negative Star review

This was probably one of the most upsetting experiences we had in Miami. We specifically did not want to be put on a pirate ship, so we made sure to choose a different option when booking. When we got there, we tried to speak to a worker, but felt pressured to go on that pirate boat because she said that was the only one available. We felt scammed and felt like the description of the cruise ship was very misleading. I would give this negative reviews if I could.
