| My primary reason for wanting to take this cruise was the excitement of seeing animals in the wild that would otherwise not be seen as was advertised. While I understand that is not something that can be guaranteed, I was hoping to see at least one animal of any sort, however, we saw absolutely none.
I also thought it was a bit overpriced. |

| A female friend and I went on the Saturday evening cruise. We did not purchase dinner tickets so were required to sit on the lower level (inside) of the boat. That would have been ok except that there was a very loud family down there with us.
The diner looked all right but not worth the price except for the fact that with the dinner you get the prime seating, either on the top deck or outside on the bow.
You can bring your own wine or beer if you purchase dinner. I am not sure whether you can do this if you do not purchase dinner. There is a snack bar with a few items like candy bars.
The Captain's narrative left much to be desired. However, the view and atmosphere was fantastic! The Captain and crew were very friendly and tried to acccomodate us after dinner by allowing us to sit in chairs outside on the bow away from the noisy family.

| The scenery made the cruise worthwhile. It was disappointing that the crew was late in checking us in. One actually asked us "What time does the cruise start?" Even though the captain said it was due to a new ticketing system and they're working the bugs out...that was not true. One of the servers told me that they were told the wrong time - 5:30 instead of 5:00. Disappointing when we were told to be there half hour early. The food was very average.

| The whole experience was stellar. The scenery was some of the most gorgeous in the southwest. The boat was beautiful, the crew friendly and fun. The food was surprisingly the best I've ever eaten for catered food. I can't recommend this enough!!! Great for large groups or intimate dates. |

| The trip was very relaxing for me and my husband, and during the night it became romantic. It made me feel like I was on a first date. All that was missing was dancing. I think it is a great place to bring a first date, because it allows you to sit and talk and get to know one another. I also think it is a great place and setting to propose marriage!!! Especially at night with all the candles lit |

| 1. For those with food problems, it's helpful for the catering staff to know the contents of what they serve (eg, I could not have the dessert because the ingredients were unknown and there was only the one dessert).
2. It was supposed to be a buffet which to me means that there is a choice of foods. I can't each beef, so asked for two small pieces of chicken - the server was not all polite about it.
3. We were served very soon after boarding. It seems to me it would be better to be able to enjoy the scenery for a bit - while it's still light. Instead, a lot of our time to enjoy the scenery was in the dark (really hard to take pictures).
4. The captain and the gal were friendly and hospitable. The only thing in regard to the captain would be to have more narration (eg, history of and facts about the boat; greater depth of information about the area, its inhabitants, its vegetation; etc.
