Accessible - The whole trip was nice, informative, & relaxing. The upper deck is wheelchair/ stroller accessible. I had badly twisted my ankle the night before and easily made it up the ramp. Beautiful weather too.

Disappointed - The boat ride itself was nice! However the first 45 minutes of the tour we couldn’t understand what the captain was saying over the intercoms bc it was muffled! I alerted one of the crew members about it and he replied “I know but I’m doing the best I can to fix it”. Also I assumed that we would’ve been given at least a complimentary bottle of water considering the tickets were $50 per ticket! Had I known nothing was provided I would’ve brought a drink and snack along with me!
