Frustrating service- first service keep skipping Greenland pier and online Customer service not reliable.

Frustrating service—boats skip Greenland Pier & customer service is useless Avoid using this service for early commutes. I pay for an expensive membership, but the first boats of the day (both weekdays and weekends) consistently sail right past Greenland Surrey Quays Pier without stopping. The staff leaves the ramp gates locked so passengers can't even get down to the pier. We have stood at the gates waving at the boats, but the captains completely ignore us and drive away. To make it worse, you can't get hold of anyone. Their customer service lines don't open until 10:00 AM, and they actively delete complaints on X (Twitter) instead of fixing the problem. Absolutely shocking reliability for a premium price. Don't rely on them if you have somewhere to be early in the morning!

Rude member of staff

Absolutely dreadful experience. There was a small, Asian, middle aged female member of staff at London Bridge pier, who was unnecessarily rude to everyone. For instance when people were asking for information. It soured the whole experience

Family

Boat was fantastic, good price as a treat. We went from North Greenwich Pier to Putney Bridge. We caught the 9.30 at night. Started with only a few of us on it then it got packed. We sat at the back. Seeing different parts of London lit up amazing. Really worth doing, we was so glad we did.
