  It’s all about the money! My third trip and I hate to admit it’s declining like the golden goose story! No desert is now included! Sides are delivered in tiny stainless steel bowls covered like a leftover with foil? They hand out the meat. No more platter serve yourself. The entertainment ???? Used to have a great piano commentator introduced the show members! Included the crowd and the blues brothers show was fabulous! Then the Hawaiian show was last!! It was great! Now the over worked sweat dripping family carry the entertainment ! They are great but obviously over worked. At 80.00 a person it’s a shame that your presentation is declining ! I don’t know that I’d drive 3 hours again. Pamala Keeter & Cynthia Jackson.

  Very fun cruise through the canals near downtown. Beautiful with stunning views of homes and yachts. The crew was great. BBQ dinner on their beautiful island was delicious! Included a Polynesian show! Would recommend!

  Overall it was an ok experience. I went into it with low expectations so I wasn't disappointed. Here's my honest assessment... The parking situation is a little odd. The directions to the dock were confusing if you weren't familiar with the area. At the end of the trip they tell you to pay for parking on board for $20 vs paying the parking valet $60, it felt like a scam. We took a Lyft so we didn't have to worry about that. They tell you to check in at 4:45 for a 6pm sail time because they want you to get on board to purchase the watered down drinks. No need to rush. We got there at 5:15pm and in my opinion that was too early. Only benefit to getting there early is selecting a good seat on the top level. I recommend sitting up there for the view. The tour guide was engaging and fun. The sights along the water are beautiful. The boat ride in each direction is 45-60 minutes. The "island" is small. There are a few caged animals (that all look depressed) and lots of greenery, otherwise not much to see. Ok, the food... Funny story, I couldn't understand why the couple sitting next to us on the boat boarded with delicious looking salads. We were going to an all-you-can-eat BBQ after all...whelp clearly they knew something we didn't. You sit family style with strangers. When you arrive there's coleslaw, canned baked beans, mac & cheese (don't waste your time), and corn bread (best item) already on the table... along with a pitcher of water. Then the friendly servers come around with BBQ ribs (they were ok) and disgusting, super salty, breaded chicken fingers. There's your big BBQ dinner. Disappointing to say the least. They come around trying to sell you mini bundt cakes for $12 (I passed). You can also buy ice cream at one of the kiosks. So take a hint from the couple who sat next to me, eat your own meal in advance. The Polynesian show was lovely. It started to rain in the middle of the show so they moved us inside briefly. There is audience participation which is fun to watch. The closing act is a daring fire show. I'd never seen one up close so that was my favorite part. Overall, I would give the experience C+ for the price. It's good clean family fun, but with a fairly hefty price tag. I didn't feel the need to ever go back. But you should try it, just to say you did it once.
