Asked by Kate Hutton · 1 year ago
I would love to book a cruise that has dinner at drum cave within the itinerary. I can see the victory star cruise goes to drum cave, but the itinerary doesn't mention a cave dinner. What cruise should I book if you still do this?
1 answerAAnswered by Cindy · 1 year ago
Dear Kate Hutton, Please be advised "dinner in a cave" has been banned for several years and it's not available now. There is only option for dinner on board, FYI. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards, Cindy
