Fantastic last minute excursion - This was a last minute excursion at the pier in Seattle. We mistakenly booked it with the incorrect departure location (who knew you'd book a trip on the pier that doesn't leave from that same pier?) The booking agents on site were helpful and got us onto the right ship. The tour guide was funny and informative. We sat on the upper most deck and it was beautiful! The weather was great, the views amazing! There was a full bar, but we did not partake. We saw lots of people with drinks and there were servers around for orders as well. It was a great way to take in the sights and get some history about the area from a tour guide.

Great Sunset Views but more narration would have made it more interesting and advantageiou - The cruise was beautiful, with amazing sunset views for pictures. My only advice would be to have more narration of the sites we passed. It could have been more interesting and advantageous to have a better understanding of the sites.

Not the most interesting or comfortable tour - Not the most interesting or comfortable tour The guide didn’t have much to say and the trip spent too much time in the commercial port. We took the 6:30 boat but the day was a bit hazy so we could only see the shadow of the mountains The boat was not that small but it rocked forward and back a lot

There are better options - I’m not sure who this cruise would appeal to. It was marketed as good for locals who want a minimally narrated experience, but there was an awful lot of narration, maybe not enough for a tourist though. I’d say if you’re a tourist, opt for a fully narrated tour. If you’re a local looking for some views, just walk onto the Bainbridge Island ferry and grab a drink in town. You’ll save a bunch of money and probably have a better time. I’ve been on an Argosy cruise before and recalled it being pretty nice! This boat, however, was run down, the interior was poorly maintained (the ceiling was falling apart and just looked gross), and it wasn't fully cleaned between groups. It was also VERY crowded. There wasn’t enough room to even stand outside and the seating was crammed together. Washington State Ferries are better maintained and less crowded, so seriously consider saving some money and doing that instead! Despite its shortcomings, I did have fun. There were good cocktails and friendly staff, but I wouldn't recommend it based on value and other options nearby.
