Thank you for taking the time to write a review. So glad you and your grandson enjoyed our Eagles Island Cruise. The Battleship NC is so majestic especially when cruising up close.

Nice 50 minute cruise on the river. Employees were all very friendly and nice. The captain was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable. Look forward to booking another cruise next time we’re in town.
