4.00This cruise, sightseeing, BBQ, and show was a lot of fun. The food was very good. The only complaint was being asked to arrive at 4:45pm, and then just sit on the boat for 1 hour 15 minutes until the cruise actually started at 6:00pm.
Fun and Delicious

3.00The boat ride was good if you like to see millionaires homes. The food would have been better if there was some kind of potato to go with the meal and the dessert should have been included in the price for $80 a person. Show was good.
Nice cruise to view the Fort Lauderdale waterways

4.00Chose this cruise to look at all the waterways and also for an evening out. The cruise itself is very nice and enables you to gawk in wonder at all the incredible boats and houses - Brits be aware you wont know many of the stated owners! Loaded off the boat into a large dining area where food was served en masse in very quick time. Ribs were only OK and not really baby back short ribs, chicken tenders quite nice. Then a 45 minute show involved a polynesiun dancing show along with fire eating. Pleasant enough but dont expect high end presentation! Loaded back onto boat for return trip. All in all, a steady and OK trip, wouldnt do the island again, but the river cruise definitely worth a visit.
Well worth the price for a fun evening

5.00Depends where you park, parking is $25-$55. The meal was very tasty! Even the chicken tenders!! Bar drinks($16), Mac&cheese, cornbread, coleslaw, baked beans & ribs all excellent! Dessert is extra$. Singers on stage very very talented... Boat trip informative...luau & fire show fun. All-in-all well worth the price $80pp for a 3.5-4 hours evening dinner/boat tour/show.
