We all really enjoyed this cruise. We had planned to do this on our first day, making it a nice slow start to our trip. However, the weather didn't clear that day and so we decided to wait as the 'open ticket' allowed. The location of pier 43 was a little tricky to locate. It was at the back and behind an open car park. We lined up for a trip later the next day and were boarded onto a smaller boat than expected. No real issue, but the larger boats looked that little more impressive but maybe they board according to the numbers taking that particular trip. The commentary was clear and good. Having just ridden bikes over the bridge it was nice to see it from underneath. We also liked seeing Alcatraz Island from the other side. Am pleased we decided to take this trip - a nice start to the vacation.
The cruise was just ok and I guess to be honest it was of no fault to the cruise company. The narration was nice and informative, but unfortunately for us, the it was extremely foggy that day and you could hardly see anything. I would reccomend it for the narration and information on the cruise.
Service excellent; boat fine; commentary very informative; sadly golden gate bridge and berkeley shore totally invisible in fog
