Great! - Such a great experience, absolutely beautiful tour, great captain and crew, and wonderful narration. Very patriotic and respectful! Dress warmly the bay air is a lot colder than it is on land- that’s just a tip not a criticism! Its money well spent!

Fantastic Views - Great views and skyline of San Diego from the waters. It was an easy loading and unloading. I wouldn’t order food though cause it took so long to get it.

Need for more human and historic information. - If one is a Navy person, all the details about each ship in the harbor may be interesting (although they may already know the information). Most cruises and tours mention history and famous people in history. There was NOTHING, on this cruise tour, humanizing (the Navy is run by people, men and women) mentioned, such as about the priest (Junipero Serra), who founded the 1st missions and villages in the San Diego area; only an brief mention of Cabrillo; nothing about the naming of Coronado Island; nothing about Adm. Nimitz, small town boy from Fredericksburg Texas who became the Commander of the Pacific Naval forces in WW II (major street and ship named for him).
