Do not book this cruise!
Terrible customer service at the ticket counter, caused us to miss our boat tour.

Great evening with family
Really great evening. Laid back, good jazz, easy. It was the exact right amount of an evening cruise. The best part… no tour guide on the speaker all night. Safety briefing and that was it. Enjoy the rest of the night without bad jokes and puns. Generous on the pours. All the picture opportunities you need.
