The staff is incredibly friendly, I’ve taken a couple of these tours and this is probably the most fun one I’ve been on. There’s tons of music there’s drinks and snacks available to buy.

It was a truly wonderful experience. Prior to my visit, I had encountered some unfavorable reviews concerning the dock and the cruise departure time, and I would like to address those points. The cruise departed precisely as scheduled. The crew members were exceptionally pleasant. There were excellent photo opportunities, facilitated by an onboard photographer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
