3.00My wife and I went on the 1:30 cruise. They sent us to deck 3 and 4. 3 is A/C inside and they have a snack bar that includes alcohol drinks and a variety of things you can purchase to eat. Not to bad of prices shrimp and fries along with a Diet Coke was $18.00. The shrimp were hot fresh and a decent size. The fries were plentiful but cold yuck! The cruise went about a mile or 2 then turned around and went to the other end where the old fort was. They shot an old cannon from the fort, it was very loud but everyone seemed to get a kick out of it. They went a little further then turned around and came back to the starting point. Most of the cruise show’s industrial sites. Not very pretty or entertaining. They are nice on the boat but if you have been on one don’t waste your money on this one. It’s not a real paddle boat anyway. What you should do instead is walk down to the JW Marriott and walk through the lobby. They have some dinosaur bones and tusks. Also they have a chromed dinosaur that’s 133 ft long hanging from the ceiling. They have a cave near and tons of beautiful rocks. I like that much better and it did not cost a dime! Thank you Marriott/Bonvoy.
