We took the 2 hr cruise-awesome ride! Our only issue was we had school kids on the boat-some were loud, making it kind of hard to hear the narrator….other than that, great!

Great tour guide narration, if you want to listen find seating where you can hear, otherwise great scenery to watch at front or back of boat. All staff were very nice and helpful. There wer 2 lines before entering the boat. I would suggest putting a sign up for the time of the cruise so people.can get in correct line.

My sister and I did the two hour tour. It was nice and relaxing. Would recommend bringing a jacket if you want to sit on the top deck. Fun time and worth it. Would recommend bringing families but doing only the one hour tour. While two hours is nice I feel like after certain point kids would be bored.

We had lived in San Diego area for 50 years. This is the second time we have been on a Harbor Cruise. We decided to take the two hour cruise and it was worth it. The ships narrator had a great script and was wonderful at sighting things out of the ordinary and calling them to our attention. The best was two tugs escorting g a nuclear powered naval submarine into the harbor. Also there were sea lions near the bait pier we were able to see and get close to. The massive naval fleet on the south end of the harbor (hour two) was overwhelming! The narrator knew each ship and explained the ships age, purpose and where it was sea worthy. Definitely a must do when visiting San Diego.

Nice ship and you can get amazing views from the top. Also at one point, you can also see the sea lions and seagulls resting in a platform in the water. Also we were lucky to see a nuclear submarine during the trip

It was beautiful scenery, and the whip itself was nice, and comfortable. The one thing they could have done better, was service. There was one gentleman, the whole cruise that was being rude to guests, including me. He asked me to move from a table, because their was silverware on it! Simply ridiculous, I wanted to slap him for his rudeness! He did that to two other families as well. Either put up signs on the tables (Reserved or Do Not Sit) , or don't setup the tables, until your guest have left! Simply asking them to move, is unacceptable! Especially when we are paying customers and we're told that all seating was at our disposal!
