It was a very special day for both of us... everything was perfect! Weather was good (for SF), water not rough and crowds were very limited! A very nice experience and we both loved it!!! The only complaint I have is that after a while on the cruise, the audio on the boat "went out" and we couldn't her any of the information (as to the cruise) that they provided. Luckily, I'd been on this cruise before so I could "fill in the blanks"... Overall, a great time!!!
