Nice views on the river

4.00The boat was beautiful, however we thought we would be traveling on the Savannah River Queen, a smaller vessel. The staff was attentive, the food was good. The problem was you could not hear the narrative unless you went outside. Instead of relaxing in a cooler room, we spent the trip standing out in the heat and sun. Perhaps they need to put more speakers inside. Overall, not too bad of a trip. We liked that they have an interaction with old Ft. Jackson.

4.00The river cruise was great - but to hear the narration, you had to be on the top deck… the 3rd deck was a little loud and hot

2.00In June, the weather was very hot. On the boat itself, you had shade options or inside with AC. However, the boarding process was in direct sunlight and was very slow due the vendor taking a photo of each individual boarding group. It was very difficult for 30 minutes and when got to the front of the, we were yelled at for not stopping to have our picture taken. Not a good outing in 95 degree weather!
Loved it!

5.00We took the Sunset cruise, totally worth it. There was a life band and a bar so you could get an adult beverage. Nice cool breeze on the top deck. It felt so good after the heat of the day. Had a nice dinner at Vic‘s after the cruise!

5.00For doing just a sightseeing it was a fun experience. Definitely a hot day but an indoor deck and upper deck were for the sightseers. There was food and drink options for a fair price and the history was fun to listen to!

5.00We truly enjoyed our river cruise. The captain was a great narrator - of the sights/ land marks and the general area - very informative mixed with some humor. The Georgia Queen is a beautiful boat. All areas were clean . An abundance of food choices, alcohol & non alcoholic drinks available. Something for everyone. It was a peaceful ride, loved the scenery .
