It's a pity the English audio couldn't be heard very clearly on the boat. I didn't wear headphones. Also it was chilly, so we couldn't see the golden gate bridge closely. There was also fog so the bridge couldn't be seen very clearly

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, it can get quite chilly out on the bay. I wish we could control the fog but unfortunately it is out of our hands. I will share your comments about the audio with our crew. Thank you again!

The trip was very much average but nice to see the bridge and Alcatraz. For the audio you can’t really hear it throughout the cruise so pretty much you have to figure it out. Overall it’s good for the price and scenery but wouldn’t do it again.

We are disappointed that you thought our cruise was just average. We strive to provide a memorable experience on San Francisco Bay. I will share your feedback with our operations team regarding the audio. Thank you.
