  • Crew was really polite...

    Crew was really polite and helpful. Food was outstanding. I suggest that a tour guide be incorporated and that the boat got further instead of going so slow to burn time.

  • Just, Okay.

    The food wasn't good. If you go maybe just pay for the cruise not the dinner. I was actually ready to get off the boat.

    The meal was good, the music was entertaining, and the ride was smooth and relaxing. My friends and I were very impressed with this tour. We were three blind people taking this tour on the Monday before the start of the national convention of the National Federation of the Blind, and I want to give a special shout out to Shannon who went out of her way to make sure me and my friends were comfortable and accommodated.

  • CPT Aaron did that
