And yet you claim that there were at least over 50% more people on the boat than a normal full trip. (your 78....statistically speaking of course

Fact: I also stated that there were people, including crew, that were smoking in the cabin. For this I was dismissed as a liar. Tony didn’t suggest he would look into it – you did, though, in your defense of him – he accused me of being a liar.

Wrong again, I most certainly did say I would loomk into it but that i did not initially comment on it since I was not there to see it myself. After your initial comment that was totally false (the number of people) I wanted to make sure I did not make any false statements like you did.

Fact: I did not call the Captain a liar, he did the name calling. I showed offense at his eager reflex to dismiss and disparage me rather than consider the possibility that a paying fare might have a legitimate gripe.

Of course you did not call me a liar, I did not lie. You did. And since there was NO WAY that there was even remotely close to 100, 90, 80, 70 or 60 people on board why would I think your complaint was anything other than what it obviously was? A total fabrication.

Fact: There were other posters that also made valid points about excessive amounts of gear that was brought on board and number of coolers, etc. This, too, could have contributed to the feeling of being overloaded. I will be the first to admit my own fallibility.

Interesting you waited till 4000 views and dozens of comments and several threads before you decide to "admit your own falibility" and yet your posts right in this thread show you still stand behind your false claims of passenger count...... your "admission" is a joke sir.

Fact: The Captain came on this board and immediately sought to discredit me and my experience by calling me a liar.

FACT: you lied about the number of people on board. More to your line of talking (now, after the fact of course) you exaggerated by a factor of nearly 100%

Fact: I am in a service business and have a certain standard by which I do business. My reputation in my industry is all I have and there is nothing more important to me than to do what I can to keep my clients happy. I have found the Captain’s arrogance, indifference and inability to accept any reasonable criticism or blame here is offensive.

Reasonable criticism? You claim there are nearly twice as many people on a boat than there actually was and you call that reasonable? Please, keep continuing to make my point for me. Continue your posts again and again, it only proves you were posting false information since you continue to do so.

Have a nice day.
