The fact that due to travel complications we did not arrive in time on the day I approached the office and they refused to allow us even 1 Adult as opposed to 6 people 5 adults and a child all the way from Sweden and Canberra to squeeze on the boat the next day or Friday 5th so very disappointed and I thought that was inconsiderate. Consequently, the family fare flying to Sweden and Canberra tomorrow and that is a lot of money in today's financial complexities.
