5.00The cruise was great. It was a birthday present from my friend. The narrator gave us a lot of historical information about Seattle. She was very friendly and allowed us to ask questions. The day we went, the weather was sunny and warm. Looking out to the bay from your room is one thing but looking back at the city from the water was a whole nother view. We had a really nice time and came away with interesting little tidbits about the city.
