Fun Holiday Lights boat cruise. It rained on and off during our voyage but the staff did their best to still try make the ride fun. We rode on the 7pm cruise which lasts a little over an hour. Loved the musician on the boat playing and singing live Christmas music. There were not any boats lit up on the water probably due to the rain except the Henrietta but were alot of lights on from Riverwalk and other Wilmington buildings. We still enjoyed the actual atmosphere of the boat, kind staff, and the Rum Punch!
