3.00Get there early. Two seperate lines which confused some folks going on the other ship. Comfortable padded seats in middle upstairs. Food and drinks reasonably priced. Food appears good. Captain gave explanations of points of interest enroute. Circled around to allow passengers to watch the cannon go off at sundown on the Constitution. Pleasant trip for something to do in the evening.
Lovely! Just enough info...

5.00Lovely! Just enough info from the captain to know where we are, but not enough to feel like a lecture. We were able to spend some time as a family, chat, and enjoy the stunning sunset views. Even in August, once the sun was down it was CHILLY, I would suggest a sweater.
Great cruise! Beautiful...
