5.00The cruise was wonderful. The crew was very nice. Plenty of space around the boat to sit or stand to enjoy the view. There was nice music playing and it wasn’t too loud so you could still have conversations with your friends. The view of the bridge was awesome. It is really amazing. The sunset was perfect!
The music was great made the group lively.
