Hi Gatsbi Team,
I wanted to follow up on your previous email.
Are you saying that almost everyone at the event wasn't over 50? Are you claiming that the deck wasn’t wet? Are you asserting that there were no glasses scattered around? Were there entertainment options all over the boat that I somehow missed?
Why would I lie about this?
What behaviour are you referring to? You have no idea who I am and for sure, I haven't done anything wrong.
Instead of making baseless comments, I encourage you to improve the quality of your events.
Your defence line is outrageous and delusional

The Great Gatsby Party Toronto, 2024…
We went to the Great Gatsby Party Toronto on Nov 30th. We were so excited for this event and expected to have a lot of fun. However, we were absolutely disappointed and had a really bad experience :(
The event was disorganized and not interesting. There were a few dancers on "stages" that were barely raised. Since the event was fully sold out, there were crowds of people and you couldn't see anything!
Our night started with the following -We stood in line for about 30 mins just to get inside the venue! It was freezing cold outside. Once we got in, we waited 40 minutes in line for coat checking, then we waited 30 mins in a messy line to buy a drink. Of course, there was only one bartender and with a soldout event, we ended up giving up. Looking around us, we were not the only ones disappointed. Lots of couples and attendees who were really confused, waiting for a great time but ultimately deciding to leave past 11pm. Not unexpectedly, the night ended with us standing in another line for 20 minutes to pick up our coats.
The music seemed to play on loop while we were there, and the performances were impossible to see as the stage was low and so many people were standing around it.
For the tickets price we paid, we were expecting so much more but received nothing, just a couple of pictures and our time wasted standing in lines. Very disappointing and disorganized! Definitely not planning to go again and do not recommend to anyone!

It was the worst party I have ever…
It was the worst party I have ever attend! Very unorganized, borring and overpriced! We were waiting outside to enter for 30 minutes, another 30 minutes in the line for coat check. We tried to buy a drink but the line was too long. Another 20 minutes to get coats and we left after 1,5 hours. Ridiculous!

I would not return if it was free…
After waiting almost 2 hours in lines between getting in, coat check (40 min) and the drink line, our group left before even getting our first drink. Many people left just like we did because it was just underwhelming in terms of entertainment and disappointing. Under staff, disorganized and over priced.
I would not go for free next year

Please do not waste four hours of your life on this boat
The worst experience ever!
Was advertised as a glam party with canapés and dancing all night. Instead we got very rude staff, limited space and lack of tables for guests, hot dogs served on paper napkins, no dancing allowed but super loud dancing music, drinks in plastic cups, a show girl spitting fire around people in this confined space.. we could not wait to get out. Had absolutely nothing to do with Gatsby theme whatsoever.
Please do not waste your time on this boat.

Lies by omission
I had a birthday party and decided to take part in their Great Gatsby Boat Party event on Feb 12, I really wanted a dance party so I did ask these guys beforehand to reschedule if the dancing restrictions was in place, they never replied to that question, because obviously they didn't want to lose the booking, even though they did reply to other questions. Never mind, their website states "DUST OFF THOSE DANCING SHOES", so I thought they just missed it. Turns out dancing wasn't allowed at all! And to top it off they were very rude and condescending on board. If you want to just sit on a boat, take a ferry, cheaper and ferry staff is a lot friendlier too!

Hi Ais,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that your expectations weren’t met and that you left the event feeling disappointed.
We’d like to take this opportunity to clarify a few important points.
At the time of your booking and event, we were operating under government-mandated COVID-19 restrictions, including enforced limitations on dancing. These were not within our control, and we had a responsibility to comply with those public health orders. We sent out multiple communications prior to the event and made announcements on the night to inform guests of these restrictions.
While we understand that you were hoping for a dance party, we were very transparent about the nature of the restrictions at the time. Our intention was never to mislead. Our team responded to your other queries in good faith, and if we missed one, we do apologise however, our communication around the event format and restrictions was consistent and clear to all attendees.
It’s also important to address that your behaviour toward our staff on the night was not acceptable. We expect all guests to treat our crew with basic courtesy and respect, and unfortunately, that standard was not upheld in this case.
Following the event, we’ve observed a coordinated effort by yourself and others in your party to leave negative reviews online, which we feel is unfair and damaging especially given the effort our team makes to deliver a safe, quality experience under difficult and ever-changing conditions.
We value honest feedback and are always open to constructive criticism, but we do ask that it’s delivered respectfully and factually.
Wishing you all the best,
The Great Gatsby Boat Party Australia Team
