Good time vibes - The captain was entertaining. It had a fun vibe. There were lots of dolphins. The Vagabond had snacks and tasty beverages (both adult and kid friendly versions) for purchase.
The crew did something for the under 10 crowd. I wasn't there with any littles under 10 so I didn't pay attention to what. However from the noise it appeared they all were excited.
It was worth the ticket price.
