2-3 minute read: This past Sunday, September 10,2023, we had reservations for 10:30am- CRUISE BRUNCH on the Good Ship “ENTERTAINER”, Captained by Mike Halat, which BTW, Mike was kind enough to make me “HONORARY CAPTAIN”, and I have a Photo of the title* included herein. If you’re going on a cruise, I suggest you arrive in sufficient time, so you can find Parking (paid in advance), the Docking Pier, and God knows what other obstacles you might encounter. We arrived and had about 10 minutes of confusion, trying to find parking & the boarding area. But we DID find it, boarded promptly (when allowed), and as we strolled down a ramp, then up another ramp, leading to the Good Ship “ENTERTAINER” we were cordially greeted by a slue of Ship Staff. We were escorted to, & seated at our assigned table. We were immediately offered “ALL YOU CAN DRINK~ MIMOSAS🥰🥂🍾🥰🎶 Announcements were made by our Waitress, and sadly, I didn’t catch her name but she was fabulous… and then the BUFFET BRUNCH commenced.

The correct date should have been 09/10/2023. Later that day and we got home, my wife (keen-eyed) noticed the discrepancy. I suggest you call CITY CRUISES, by HORNBLOWER and reserve a romantic cruise… the sooner the happier you’ll be. Trust me for once and enjoy the...

This is potentially a nice service, and only one dollar. The harbor area is beautiful and pleasant. However they need to have a schedule/timetable. The current system is random with boats going all over the place, skipping stops, going backwards, sometimes not picking up passengers... You might have to wait 10 minutes or you might wait hours. And there is a good chance you'll get stuck somewhere and have to walk or take an uber back. Every other ferry in the world runs on a posted, defined schedule. Nice idea, but ultimately a failure. Needs a 100%...
