A beautiful scenic tour
Tiffany_G
, Apr 2021
The evening Cruise was a really great experience especially for the price. Dinner was included. The setting was beautiful. My only complaint is that several guests were not wearing mask in common inside areas. This made me quite uncomfortable and forced me to stay on the deck for majority of the time and it was quite breezy as the temperature began drop after the sun set. I did not see staff encourage mask wearing.

Hello, Thank you for the feedback on how we can make our trip safer! The Captain does state on the intercom before boarding, while cruising, at the battlefield, and on the trip back that mask are strictly enforced and guest are expected to wear them unless eating or drinking. We do our best to ensure that all Covid Protocols are followed and have passed along your feedback to the Director of Operations in order to find better solutions to this issue.

Bad experience

I’m so glad you asked. We were allowed to book the cruise after it was completely booked. We were not notified until we showed up and presented our tickets. We were told you would have to refund our money for the tickets. I am waiting on my refund.

Disappointed and upset

When we purchased the tickets we thought we had purchased the the cruise with a meal pass. We were very dissapointed when we found out that we did not. Had we known that we would have eaten before the cruise. We decided to go ahead and purchase the meal on the ship.

I expected more but my experience was okay.
San
, Mar 2021
The meal was wonderful along with the chef/servers. Thanks to the bartenders for the drinks they were great. The restrooms were not in good shape especially since we are going through a pandemic. It wasn't safe! An older lady fell down the stairs due to the dampness of the stairs. She was holding on the handles which were damp as well. I understand that we were on water but every so often someone could have came by to dry up the wetness. Overall my experience was okay or should I say that I expected more.
