5.00This enjoyable excursion of Narragansett Bay was a complete and perfect experience. Luckily, we ventured out on one of the best summer days of the season. Inside in the lounge it felt like 75 degrees and was so comfortable. Out on the deck, traveling seaward, there was a gentle breeze, and while cooler, with the sun beaming down it felt about the same. It only got cooler once we turned back. There was a gentleness and peaceful vibe on the first level. My husband and I felt we could enjoy our special time together. Upstairs on the deck we could hear the celebrants of a birthday and a Bachelorette ouring having fun, which added to a lovely, joyful atmosphere. The crew and Coastal Queen were the other standouts. We were warmly greeted from the time we got our boarding passes (note: don't stand in line first! Even if you've purchased online tickets you need to secure boarding passes from the kiosk.) to the moment we boarded. Mimosas were set out on the bar so we could help ourselves. The bar was spotless and inviting. We sat at one of the tables on the starboard side and faced the bar. The crew kept us entertained until departure then we could easily chat (no loud motor or other outdoor distractions penetrated the calm). We later ventured outside to get a fuller view of the points of interest as described by our guide. The beautiful homes, historic sites, sailboat races, and occasional yacht sightings offered the visual content that beckons visitors to Newport. The quips and tongue-in-cheek commentary from our nautical narrator brought smiles not eye rolls. He was never too intrusive, but pleasantly comical and informative. The best part about this cruise was how it brought together all the things to love about a summer excursion with none of the drawbacks. Simply perfect. We'll definitely go back! (Side note: Offer better snacks!)
