I thought this would be a romantic sunset outing with my girlfriend, but it was a boat full of people who could not stop talking full-blast for the duration of the entire cruise. Even when the captain was giving important information, they just kept going loudly and non-stop. I don't know whether it was collective intoxication or clinical logorrhea, but there never seemed to be a quiet, reflective, thoughtful moment the entire cruise.
One guy kept talking, without pause, and with a loud gravelly Alex Jones (Infowars) voice, about his career in cloud IT and all about the AWS datacenters and technologies to an old guy who kept saying he preferred to just keep stuff on his USB thumbdrive. A woman from Mexico took what must've been 5,000 selfies, but her and her girlcrew just powered through the inane conversation anyway about her fiancée going to buy her a Mercedes. Even the one guy who I thought would be quiet, he brought his own Whiteclaws and was completely lacquered and saying some very loud very crazy stuff that he thought was just hysterical. As one group got louder, the other groups would get louder still in order to compensate.
I heard zero convo that was anything more than just mindless chit-chat, no "What do you think this life is all about?" or "Do you think we'll ever reach the stars?"... just endless "I grew up in Florida and let's be honest the best boobies are there har har har hah hah hah!!!" One girl was trying to convince her dad to buy $1500 plane tickets for her friend to join her on a trip, because her friend procrastinated... this was the best one for sure.
I don't like to give this rating or this review, but the cruise was honestly a waste of our time and felt the opposite of classy. I don't know what the solution would be since they are trying to sell alcohol on the boat and you can't really ask revelers to be respectful and quiet.

Read moreI recently had the opportunity to embark on the Seattle Tall Ship Harbor Cruise, and the experience was, for the most part, quite enjoyable.
The tour started on time, and our journey into the waters of Seattle's Harbor was a sight to behold. The cruise offered a unique vantage point to admire the city's skyline and observe the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding area.
Our guide was knowledgeable, providing captivating insights into Seattle's maritime history and its iconic landmarks. The ambiance on the ship was relaxing and family-friendly, with adequate space for all passengers to sit back and enjoy the cruise comfortably.
However, I deducted a star because I felt that the tour could have been a little more interactive, perhaps with more engaging activities for passengers, especially for younger kids. Additionally, some onboard refreshments would have been appreciated, adding to the overall cruising experience.
Overall, I recommend the Seattle Tall Ship Harbor Cruise for those seeking a unique perspective of Seattle's beauty. The memorable views and educational commentary are worth the time and investment. Just remember to bring your snacks and entertainment for the...
