Ask these before you pay

Is the price for the whole vessel or per person, and what is the minimum?
How long alongside for boarding, cake and photographs?
Can we bring our own food, drinks and a cake, and is there refrigeration?
Is there music, and are there noise restrictions in the anchorage?
What is the latest we can return, and does that cost more?
