We thoroughly enjoyed our few hours on this beautiful boat. Booking the tickets online was easy and we collected them from the ticket office. The boat was spotlessly clean - the toilets imaculate. Drinks are reasonably priced. The staff were really friendly and at the same time made safety their priority. The narrator did a great job - lovely to hear it live rather than a recording. He provided lots of information so learned a lot about the port. It was really fun to share the horn (hope that's the correct term!) blowing exchange with the retired fireman - these things really add to the experience. All in all, it was a great trip and would thoroughly recommend it. It was very good value for money.

January: It was Freezing. Prob will recommend the experience better if it was warmer. I was expecting a portable heater outside atleast or be able to see the outside from the bar area but I was not able to. The tour was very short with not much to see. The band was not as lively as I hoped it would be. The food was probably the reason why I even gave it 2 stars. Otherwise, it was not worth $70-80.

My brother-in-law and his wife came to visit from Venezuela. We did the lunch cruise. We all loved the menu, music and overall experience.
