Finished off with food which was not included on the end of a sand bank. Pick was not made clear. We were on a TUI cruise and had to get a taxi which was a 25 minute ride away and when we arrived at Buccoo it was still not clear when we dropped off if we were in the correct place. Eventually found the boat”
