| We sailed on a day cruise. It was scenic, relaxing and enjoyable.
Our two year old daughter was with us and she had a nice time as well.
The captain was excellent and handled the ship with ease. The sailing was smooth.
Several points of interest were easily seen on the cruise and I would definately recommend it.

Pro's -
We loved the cruise. The kids were able to drive the boat. It was a highlight for them. There were only 5 kids on board. It left promptly, be there on time. The crew were very helpful and courtious. Water was complimentary.
Cons -
We couldn't hear the captain. We missed a lot of history and info. We sat in the middle of the boat. Be sure to get there eaIrly and sit very close to the captain. The boat did not have any music on board. If you can't hear the captain anyway some music would have been enjoyable.

| We great weather and that certainly helped. The boat was beautifully appointed and spacious. The crew was delightful, attentive and pleasant. Captain Andy was knowledgeable and confident. This was a splendid outing and great way to get to know the town of Newport. |

| This was a very nice trip, we really enjoyed the ride. We took a trip during the tall ships festival, which made it even more interesting to see the harbor. I recommend sitting close to the Captain steering the ship, he was very knowledgeable and had some really interesting facts about the area and attractions. It does cost a decent amount for just an hour and a half, but for someone visiting or just a nice time to sail around it is defiantly worth it. |

| Generally it was a very enjoyable sail. It would have been nice if the crew described the sites and surroundings of Newport as we sailed past them.
Thanks |

| Our sail was cancelled due to weather, but I have to say that everyone we dealt with -- the captain, crew and organizers -- were all extremely friendly about the situation and they were very good about communicating the options we had.
I have been on the Adirondack II and her sister ship in NYC before and every time I am so pleased -- it's always a great time.

| I chose this excursion because the website said we would go past the mansions, Fort Adams, lighthouses, Newport Bridge and the Kennedy's summer home. We did go past Fort Adams and the summer home and saw the bridge from a distance; however, we did not go past the other attractions. Nothing was narrated so you were left guessing what things were and did not learn any facts or history. It was windy that day but it seemed like we didn't do a lot of "sailing", just drifting along. Our captain did give some kids the opportunity to steer and it was neat watching the crew put up the sails. Otherwise, I was disappointed that we didn't get to see all of the sites, hear more about them and do some fast and fun SAILING. |
