Worth Every Cent

I was really hesitant to purchase this cruise due to a couple of bad reviews….. But the experience was Amazing! The on boarding was very simple. ( Everything done on my phone)The staff was very friendly. The trip was very informative. If any suggestions, the boat could use a couple up-dates (nothing to extreme) & some warm food would of been nice!

We had to return to dock...

We had to return to dock due to issue with the boat. Our departure was delayed. It set us back on time for other sight seeing.
