Terrible customer service

Our jet boat ride was canceled 35 minutes before it started due to lack of people signing up for it. Very disappointing experience given we had planned our day around it as well as the lack of customer consideration given it was cancelled with so little notice, if we had been notified early we wouldn’t have wasted our day or would have tried to get onto an earlier session time.
