“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!”
