I'd like to give this cruise an "Excellent" rating, but to be honest it was too short!! I think the vessel cruised around the harbour for about 45 minutes only - an hour would have been much better, although I can't really complain as I didn't actually buy the tickets.
Or did I? They were included in my Old Town Trolley Tour (reviewed elsewhere - and it was awful!!) so have probably been included in the cost of the trolley tour - my cynical side suggests that the combined cost is actually given as the trolley cost and the organising company hopes that there won't be time for you to join the cruise, thus they get money for nothing!!
But I digress. This little cruise was popular, and we took the last of the day, at 16:30. There was commentary from an Irishman (what other nationality could he have been!!), which was very informative and very funny. I couldn't help being impressed by what the fella said - even though he must say it 4 or 5 times a day, several times a week, he didn't sound at all bored by his task. He got plenty of tips at the end!
If I were to do this cruise again, I would go earlier in the day as I'd like to hop off at USS Constitution and have a nose around.
A tip - start queueing early as this is popular and may have to turn late-comers away.
