My first cruise on my 64th birthday!

5.00This was a wonderful experience and something that I will always cherish. First, it was my birthday and my first time to be on a “cruise” so the 45 minute cruise was just perfect for me to feel safe and comfortable. My husband and I truly enjoyed the ride and most especially when the seagulls started flying over us and waiting for people to feed them. I turned 64 that day but the experience made me feel like a yong girl all over again. I would definitely do it again and maybe try the other cruises they have to offer! Thank you for such a memorable experience and making my birthday special!!! More power!!!
Excellent would do it again. Want to do the whale watching and dolphins next time

5.00Was a excellent ride and so well worth it the only thing that the loud speaker was crackling but the operator fix it so it was great I thin it was the microphone
Wonder cruise and very good value. My only suggestion is the speaker system on the boat is not very good

4.00Beautiful experience and a beautiful day. However, the sound system on the boat was not very good. We were looking forward to hearing more facts about the history and the capacity and just interesting things about the harbor. However, the quality of the system was low and we cannot hear almost anything..

5.00My boyfriend and I had a spontaneous idea of going out on a local boat ride and found Harbor Breeze Cruise on Tik Tok . We had an amazing time and got there just in time for the sunset. Would recommend that you get to the line early to get a good seats on the upper deck. Parking is limited in the city so give yourself time to find parking. Long Beach have tons of surrounding events.
Eh.

2.00Changed our depart location last minute and didn’t give offer of refund just to use tickets later. Also had to get in ticket line anyways to get physical tickets. “Captains” started cruise late.
