Fort Lauderdale – Carrie B. Cruises: The website touts their investment in their sound system and it is impressive! If you have ever endured crackling microphones and garbled narrative – you will appreciate the difference. There are several water based tour options in Fort Lauderdale but as an experienced tourer, we opted for Carrie due to this factor. We saw a couple of the other boats while out on tour which only reinforced the wisdom of our choice. They use the same online ticketing agent and also may have a promo code for a discount so be sure to check the website before you click through to purchase your ticket. As with Diva Ducks, this process was easy and efficient and a good value for the money. It’s all plus for Carrie B. Cruises. The vessel is nice and you can even spend the entire 1.5 hour tour on the bow of the boat as we did. The ride is quiet, smooth and we were pleasantly surprised the paddleboat covers a LOT of territory. The guide was informative and easy to understand. If there is a negative, it’s that it was ONLY 1.5 hour tour. I could have spent the entire afternoon onboard! Final word: There are countless mega-mansions, mega-yachts and cruise ships (Fort Lauderdale is the busiest US cruise ship port) making this a “must see” in Fort Lauderdale.

We were walking on the Riverfront and came upon this cruise. We bought tickets and took the cruise through the canals and through the cruise port. I could not believe all the yachts and large, beautiful mansions on the water. The cruise people narrated the entire length of the cruise giving you the highlights of owners and past owners of the yachts and homes. We had a nice relaxing little cruise around the Venice of America.

Took this trip post-cruise. Sat on the top deck under the shade. Funny and informative tourguide comments. Interesting to see all the wealthy homes along the waterways and who they belong to/what films they are in. Food and beverages too expensive. People walking back and forth in front of you for pictures annoying. (We sat in the front row of chairs.) Not a bad way to spend an hour and a half.
