it was a great cruise and the employees on board were very friendly. loved the tour guide's commentary, and overall it was a great way to see the city from the comfort of your seat inside the cabin. you can also step out to the deck to take pictures, since inside the windows usually have some smudges. keep in mind that because it's winter, it's freezing and extremely windy due to the speed of the cruise. so don't plan on staying out on deck the whole time, just take your pics, go back in to warm up, and go back outside at the next landmark.
