“This was nothing more than a party cruise for young people who like loud music and drink CHEAP WINE! What a deceiving description when first purchased! The boat was nothing like the photos represented. There was no speaking during the tour from the captain, so we had no clue what we were looking at. The bathroom was filthy and the windows were foggy so we couldn’t even see what we were looking at, but it didn’t matter because we didn’t know what we were looking at.
