The Scenery: It may not be grandiose but it is still pretty. Definitely worth a look. The Paddleboat: It is lovely, and has that old world feel. You can enjoy the view from your table or nab a spot at the front river level stop. But, I recommend sitting outside, up top. The breeze, the view, the company and the comfort. The Food: Fabulously delicious! Served on share platter. The Cruise: It's a lovely, peaceful way to spend the day. As a solo traveler, If you're looking for something to do and you have no other real plans, this is a great last minute option. Or, if you just wanna do something that doesn't require a lot of stress, it's well worth the trip. Just a note, they can also accommodate pairs and larger groups. Cost: a fair cost for the cruise and the meal. Overall: It's a winner!
