Nevermore - Just a boat ride, no narrative. Can get a bit chilly if, like us, you're from Florida. We bundled up and were very comfortable. Back ground music sucked and was a bit loud.

The no sunset…sunset cruise - My family went on the sunset cruise but it was so foggy we were unable to see the setting Sun. However the captain of the boat took us over to oracle stadium and it just so happened a Jelly Roll concert was happening my son, nephew and niece got to enjoy a bit of the concert from a very cool perspective! It was a highlight for them. So I was incredibly thankful to the captain who turned a very foggy sunset cruise into a spectacular experience.

Celebrating 34th Anniversary! - Cruise was fun. Enjoyed it with my hubby! It would be nicer to dim the inside cabin lights a bit for people staying inside to see the out side to take pictures and not have the reflection of the lights on the glass for pictures. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Inconvenient Ticketing Process and Loud Music - I had digital ticket with bar code but still the ticket checker asked me to get the physical paper ticket. Music was loud.

Hugely disappointing. Avoid - A really disappointing experience. The worst part was the awful, loud music blaring out throughout. Not having a commentary of the sights on offer and history of the area was a cop out. We had not been here before, so that would have been useful. The weather was cold so we were inside which meant we had to try and see the view through scratched, dirty windows - not great. Also, we didnt see the Golden Gate bridge. 90 mins was much too long, especially with the awful music. Overall, I would avoid this expensive, disappointing experience.

Needs a window washer - The experience would have been a lot more enjoyable with the ships windows having been cleared of dirt and salt water residue. And some commentary on what we were seeing.
