Traveler reviews
Search, Stand, Wait and Climb Stairs!
It was difficult to find the exact loading location. The operater of this cruise needs to provide clearer more concise instructions. Pictures of the blue tent where you check in and the location would be helpful. Also, inform people considering purchasing the cruise that they will be required to walk down (and back up) a considerable amount of stairs and stand for extended periods of time.
Not worth the money. Most...
Not worth the money. Most of the tour was sitting and floating in 1 spot. They should consider making the tour a little longer while waiting for the fireworks to start. Well over half the tour was sitting in 1 spot waiting for fireworks, then after waiting for the locks to open. People were literally falling asleep. Or maybe consider at least some up beat music while floating in the same spot.
Lake Michigan Fireworks Cruise
Great way to see the Chicago skyline at night. Cruise around Lake Michigan for an hour and a half and then take in the fireworks. Crew did a great job.
I would do this again!
Overall a fun cruise - the only issue was the boat started heading in before the fireworks even finished. I get they wanted to get into the locks but we still sat there for a bit anyway. There was a bit of an architectural tour after which was presented quite well and with good humor by the tour guide - she was very entertaining. I don't recall her name but we did the 8:00 cruise on Wed. August 5.
A Highlight of all of Chicago
This is for tourists and locals! This excursion gave me a much higher experience than I expected it would. The ship was clean, the crew was courteous and friendly. There were some lovely groups and couples that were near us that we got to converse with and help each other take pictures. It was such a positive, relaxing, fun activity to make memories on!
