The... read more only downside was that the wheelchair access which was advertised was almost impossible at the Newnham Steps mooring. However the very helpful volunteer staff cheerfully manhandled the chair from the quay onto the boat which has a convenient lift. At the end of the cruise we accepted an offer of an alternative disembarkation at Sovereign Quay. This was much easier and was only a few hundred yards from where we had parked. Anyone in a similar position to us is advised to contact the company to arrange an alternative pickup. Everything else was wonderful, a lovely jazz band at just the right volume, friendly attentive crew, fast table service of drinks and snacks, good prices. A fun evening. We will certainly be back for one of the daylight trips.
