It is just a... - It is just a funexperience for two hours with a friendly crew. The schooner left on time and returned as expected. The fact that we had winds that day allowed the sails to go up - a plus

Don’t miss this cruise! - Simple, lovely cruise. The crew shared info and conversation with the guests. It was quiet, a real treat to hear the ripples lapping against the hull as we glided thru the water. Our favorite of 4 short cruises we enjoyed along the Maine coast!

The boat ride was good, relaxing, fun, and the crew on the boat very friendly. - They didn't notify me of the change in meeting place until the last minute and I never received actual tickets through my app

Floating Bar- Lack luster creativity menu - New Celebrity cruise ship Excel was disappointing-lack luster! Yes, big and beautiful but no library,game room, regular chairs and tables around pool area. We were told we could play in any open space group could find, not all managers of area would agree. Floor 5 theme has been made into blazer to buy Mexican stuff, music , bar area. Waste of space in our opinions, Nightly menu s look the same with few changes, lacking creativity, felt forced to go to special restaurants. This sailing was clearly for Seniors, more scooters and walkers, wheel chairs noted.. Many bars, bigger casino, Chairs in enclosed pool area are all elevated which is very nice, nice to see outside. Also, would be nice to have gliders on those heavy dinning chairs- any ship. Long time cruiser sees this as floating bar or maybe time to travel differently.

Nice Sailboat… No History. - The boat is historic and the bay is pretty but your crew may or may not tell you much… and if there is low wind they don’t use the motor to get to any sights you just float.
