Silver Bonito Bar

Sold as a romantic champagne cruise around the Thames this is nothing more than a sightseeing tour. The romantic music from the brochure is replaced with the camp gab of some misled tour guide. Five minutes into the cruise and i head down to the champagne bar. Hardly a bar could it be called with two cabin hands in smart attire standing behind a counter the size of a stove. A top the surface, several flutes and a crate of fine champagne. I am served a couple of glasses and told i can purchase another for ten pounds.the thought of spending so much on so little made me a little seasick and i declined. Although polite, the staff were emotionless. Sitting down with my drink, my face froze on the upper deck in the headwind and i enjoyed the finer sites of London.

Overall, one could do far better for a romantic cruise and the makeshift bar was just about passable as a serving platform but charmless. Thankfully the rest of the cruise was satisfactory - 2/10
