We found our trip had too many people on the ship and we could not see anything because of that. We were disappointed .

This is a truly great experience. Viewing the harbour from the water. The live music was very good. Brooklyn sang and entertain us for the full 2 hours of the cruise. There was too much wind to take the sails out but still a good time. Don't forget to bring a windbreaker or a jacket.
Great way to see the city snd the harbour
