The views of the Golden Gate are spectacular. The food is nice. The service is not so good and in my case the waitress insisted that we had to leave her20% of what we pay in this activity, eventhough the tip was included in the fee. Get youu Guided gave me the money back, but is the first time this happens to me in these tipe of cruises.

Great! Fun! Awesome and a lot more. Me and my wife went for our 5 year anniversary. I would for sure go again. Instead of going to a place that was ok and still spending alot on food.. this cruise cost me about the same but something I knew we would enjoy. Host was awesome. We got to dance walk around the ship freely. Get the best view every of the city at night. And one the food is top class not some regular stuff. Overall 9.4/10.

Everything perfect but the day before leaving the cruise company sent us their official confirmation via sms and surprise the cost was 130 $ per person and not 175.- as paid on this app ... tip: go to the internet and book directly from the site of the cruise !!!
