Lake Michigan view - The view on lake Michigan of the skyline was the best. The ticket situation and customer service was not good at the gate. I paid for 5 and they made me buy another ticket in order to get on boat. I will be calling viator customer service but I am busy being in a wedding today. The bride and the brides crew were with me on boat and this us embarrassing
