We took the cruise on a slightly overcast afternoon but it was warm enough to sit outside. The cruise lasts two hours. The box office staff was helpful in finding out if I could take my scooter on board. It was low tide so I couldn't but the crew was very helpful so that it was easy to get on with my walker. There are interesting and historical homes and commercial buildings to see and we even had the special experience of seeing two bald eagles. My only complaint is that where were were sitting, outside at the rear of the boat, it was sometimes hard to hear the narration. There is free parking both at the box office and nearby and the area nearby has lots of interesting shops and restaurants.

I enjoyed the ride....it was a beautiful night, the captain and staff were very accommodating. I thought the music playing was too loud,,,I did ask the music to be lowered and it was at first,,, and then got too loud. I think also the wait line for drinks very long .... but then realized soft drinks could be bought at the food stand. I would recommend the night cruise for a younger crowd,,,,unless the music could be lowered. The boat ride at night was very enjoyable

the cruise itself was a great time , the dinner at savonas after was horrible service etc, the wait staff at that restaurant were rude and had no clue about menu and the fact it was prepaid they tried to charge us 135 bucks , when i called the restaurant after the manager did not bother calling me back more rudeness. if you go on this cruise choose mariners instead
