I booked a scenic Indian Arm Lunch Cruise the last day of August 2025 and I was very excited to experience it, as a very long time living in Vancouver and being a Vancouverite for over 30 years - I never been that far north of the city. I was looking forward to a well deserved relaxation on the 4-hours trip, enjoying the scenery and my own company. What completely ruined my daily trip to Indian Arm is a manager of Harbour Cruises - Lara, who was also on the boat that day. She was extremely rude, no customer skills whatsoever, unprofessional, and behaving as entitled as she can be. She has no idea of how to do seatings of the guests, nor is willing to accomodate guests when guests complains about their seatings, or when guests finds themselves being seated between loud and rowdy group of guests. If guests have any impairment or disability (mobility issues) - a manager will seats such guests on the top floor of the boat, being farther away from any door or exits. I've witnessed seniors with walkers being seated on the second floor and looking very uneasy and unhappy. She seated me - a single person - in between two large groups of people, where one group of tourists from QC were very loud, tipsy, and without any considerations that other guests are sitting in their section too. When I asked two servers to move me elsewhere, because I didn't booked the cruise tix to listen obnoxiously loud and tipsy tourists, both servers tried to accomodate me but their manager Lara made such a stink of jumping into conclusions that I am a loud guest, accusing me that other guests were complaing about me being loud, and also, she was verbally very abusive, yelling, and verbally agressive with her staff - especially to server Vedrana who tried her best to accomodate me. I booked a cruise trip to relax on my own, not to engage into any conversations with other guests, so being accused by Lara that I'm a "loud guest" was a wild speculation, an overreach, and such a blunt lie! Supervisor of the shift Fatima also get involved and a server Vedrana seated me on the second floor. Both Fatima and Vedrana are real professionals, very polite, with excellent customer service skills, and a common sense skills. The boat wasn't fully booked and 1/3 of the tables were empty. Server Karolina, who was also there, made sure that I'm okay and that I got the food and drinks I like and ordered, and she was very apologetic for her manager's behaviour. It seems that their manager Lara is the most embarrassing member of their staff, and she acted and reacted as a JUVENILE! She almoust ruined my cruising experienced and it took me a while to get over the vibes of being unwelcomed and unwanted as a guest who paid the ticket price for the cruise. Their company's Human Resources should learn about this guest's unpleasant experience and have a serious talk with their manager Lara about Lara's awful, abusive, and extremely toxic behaviour towards guests and the staff. The next time, I will think twice before booking another cruise with...
