5.00The cruise can be chilly. I wish I would’ve known to dress warmer. Everything else was great. Friendly boarding crew. And easy finding locations.
Very nice, everything on...

1.00This is a 3rd party reservation app that is not user friendly and doesn’t respond to messages. I got flooded with welcome messages after I booked and what looked like a ticket confirmation so I assumed I was booked.. However amount the welcome and confirmation emails I also received another message (which I missed ) stating there were no openings for the day I requested. I didn’t know about this until I went to the doc where I learned my confirmation was not actually a confirmation. This email offered to choose another day or request a refund . I wrote in a chat window that if there were no openings for the following day I wanted a refund. Never heard back from them
Alcatraz + Bay view

3.00A trip to Alcatraz is a very nice and interesting experience. However a Bay trip is not worth it. Especially if the sky is not totally clear the Bay trip is a waste of the money. We took it only because we were to late to book only a trip to Alcatraz and the only optio to visit Alcatraz was a combo trip Alcatraz + Bay view. I really do not recommend a Bay view trip.
Great tour
