The crew were very pleasant, polite, and well-informed. The Captain who narrated the cruise injected some humor into his presentation. The history and knowledge I gained were wonderful. Well worth the price.

5 out of 5 stars

The cruise could be about 30 minutes longer. The party really got started after the New Years Eve countdown and then it was time to go. Also, the downstairs bar should have been open.

Took my husband for his birthday. It wasn't crowded, so we had lots of space to walk around and enjoy ourselves. The music was great and reasonably priced drinks!
