3.00The cruise was only 2 hours and the boat slowed the last half hour just to get to 2 hours. The website mentioned that, weather permitting, a viewing of a historic lighthouse was possible; the weather was fine and the ship slowed to get to 2 hours, so I think that time wasn't a problem either. Narration was minimal for landmarks and where we were--on one of the rivers or the bay. The 3 crew members who waited on us were terrific and the interior was festively decorated for the holidays. The brunch food was acceptable--met my average expectations.
Do it!!!!

This is a great tour. The...
