“The evening we had a cruise was wonderful. Warm, no clouds and the overall family’s mood was great. The food is average on the boat however the scenery, live music and the boat itself was great. At some point we felt punished for not being smokers as they had a top tier with nice view and tables. Food and one welcoming drink was included in the price but other soft and alcoholic drinks you have to pay separately. Overall experience was nice! Thanks!”

“It wasn’t busy but it was still nice to go right to the ticket booth scan the QR codes and go right in. They offered us some addons that the tickets didn’t cover like a guide and an elevator fee if you didn’t want to climb like 10-15 flights, but we didn’t want either of those things as we felt walking all the way up was part of the experience. Amazing view from the top! The little staircase at the top was a little confusing but you have to wait till the light turns green as only one person at a time can use it whether going up or down…”
