## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- The dinner cruise is about 30 minutes on the water inside a 100-minute evening, not a full dinner afloat for two hours.
- Most Kraków cruises show Kazimierz from the river; they do not stop there.
- Tyniec is the only long cruise; the others return to their pier within an hour.
