3.00This was a nice cruise. Unfortunately the microphone on the ship kept cutting in and out while the tour guide was talking. Also, the best sights are of River street- the other parts of the sightseeing seemed more industrial- not very scenic in my opinion.

Disappointed Grandkids

1.00An experience that did not happened. I brought me and 4 of my grandkids and rode the Amtrak train so they could have that experience 4 the 1st time, booked the harbour tour so that they could experience a boat ride for the 1st time. We were there on time one of my grandbabies ran ahead of us to ask the young lady at the ‘gate’ if that was the harbour cruise and she stated no it’s the boat down the street, we ran 2 it learned it wasn’t the one, ran b sack 2 tithe sculptural boat, young lady acknowledged that this was the actual boat… she yelled to the captain and the anchor guy that we r supposed to be on the boat, guy stated too late I said r u really gonna disappoint the kids, he told the guy to keep pulling up the anchor… although, I blame the young lady that sent us in a different direction, I thought that captain guy was so cold and heartless, I understand agendas but I also understand compassion.., we are visiting and Savannah was a first, the Amtrak was a 1st n the harbour cruise would’ve been the 1st boat ride for the grand angels… but hey, everything happens 4 a reason..

5.00Very nice day for a cruise. Only problem was the wait in line. Photographer taking pictures in front of Riverboat was too close to person scanning tickets and held up line for people not interested. I greatly appreciated the elevator to the 3rd deck.
Great trip
