5.00I did the NYE celebration cruise. The boat as very nice, the staff was polite and professional, everything was clean, the event offered what was promised on the description. I would go back and take one of their day cruises when I’m back in Long Beach.

5.00It's was pretty great. Although they misrepresented that they would give a reimbursement for parking. We ended up paying for parking but there was a close parking lot nearby for $10.00. it was rather rainy the day we went so the umbrellas were had were very handy.
And Dolphins Too!

5.00This is the best value in Long Beach! Not only did we get some new info about our home town on the tour, but we got a Dolphin show as well. Plenty of room to get out of the rain when need be and lots of open space for viewing. It was quite a treat and the young ladies on board were lovely!

5.00I am no longer in a couple with that person. However, that trip was great and more than I expected. I was happy, my partner (at the time) was happy and the other people around aboard their cruise ships were happy all waving hello in a friendly way. No one else but us were on the boat and it was perfect.
