It was a wonderful trip, even though it was overcast. The crew was excellent. The food was good, except for the cabbage rolls. The cabbage was tough and undercooked. The entertainment was great! Getting the tickets was fast and easy. My only suggestion would be to have some restroom facilities at the dock. People travelling 2 or 3 hours to get to the boat had to wait in line for boarding and there was a huge line for the bathrooms on board. People were desperate!
Great food and service....

1. The itinerary... it was a perfect 3 hour tour of grand cottages and little cabins along the Thousand Islands waterway east of Kingston. 2. The food... the food was far beyond our expectations. It was beautifully presented and delicious. The service was excellent throughout the tour. 3. The entertainment on the trip was the big surprise. We absolutely loved the singer and his sometimes corny jokes and impressions. Overall, this excursion couldn't have been any better.
Superb afternoon in the 1000 islands

Fabulous afternoon. Scenery outstanding as we sailed amidst the islands , enjoying a delicious 3. Course lunch at our table. Service was great. Drinks were very reasonable , no attempt to enhance the prices for a captive audience. Our MC and entertainer ( Billy Bridger) Was terrific - knowledgeable , funny and a very talented singer and entertainer . A must do , very reasonable trip in Kingston .
Very good experience
