We did a cruise on the bay for a Pride sponsored event. The ticket prices were reasonable. We boarded the small boat and there were only about 30 people on board! Since this was a Pride event you would think that there would be some Pride decorations or theme on board but there was nothing. Supposed to be appetizer while on board but were given 2 items when boarding. Speaking of boarding, our tickets were never checked. We just walked on the boat.

The rest of the cruise is laid back and nice. But having half the cruise waiting in line takes the fun out of...
