Pleasant way to see the harbor area, nice charcuterie plate, good view from upper deck, easy to book. However, there was some confusion about where and when to board, we had expected a commentary on what we were seeing, but that required us to download an app we would never use again! And use up the phone battery.

The Cruise started at about 1:30pn and ended 2.5 hrs later at 4pm in Kings Whatf. It was a memorable experience. It was a slow deliberate speed of the cruise ship at closest view of the harbour icons. There was much time to really enjoy the views. Very satisfied.
