Great experience! - The company was great! It was pouring rain and we were able to reschedule to the next day at no cost. Super accommodating. Really helped us out! We didn’t want to be rained on in our fancy outfits for dinner. The captain (captain windows?) was hilarious and so informational! More choices of snacks or hot dogs or something would have been nice! But would definitely recommend!

Again! - Parking was not great but to be expected. Show up early and explore the food and shops! Loading was easy, check in was a breeze. The workers were great! Very nice and kind. I was nervous bringing my service dog but there was plenty of space and he enjoyed the ride also! Family friendly! Very calm and beautiful ride. Got to see the Dolphins and the
Gorgeous moon rise behind the light house. Would definitely do again.
