Silvester-Bootsfahrt mit Abendessen durch den Hafen von Vancouver

Trotz des ""nicht so schönen"" Wetters war es eine tolle Zeit! Die Besatzungen kümmern sich sehr schnell um die Bedürfnisse. Reibungsloses Segel-Lob an den Kapitän. Vancouver bei Nacht ist immer hell und schön! Das Abendessen wurde perfekt zubereitet, der Nye-Countdown wurde gesellig, der Spaß beim Tanzen machte Spaß.

I've been on harbor cruises before, in lots of different cities, and they're nearly always exactly the same: you wait forever in line so that you can finally get on a beat-up boat, with lousy food and inadequate seating space, while it trundles around in the water for a specified period of time. You don't go on these things for the cruise itself, or at least I don't: you go for the view, and you just put up with the rest. This one was different. Sure, there was the obligatory long wait outside, and the boat was certainly not new. But the food was actually pretty good. And there were drinks (both alcoholic and otherwise) that were reasonably priced. And there were actually lots of different places to go, both inside and outside, depending on what you wanted. We could stay at our table, if we didn't mind listening to the dozen or so children screaming happily at one another. We could go upstairs, if we wanted to dance. We could go outside, where one end of the boat seemed full of people and the other was blissfully secluded. We were there for the view, of course, and it was worth every penny; the Vancouver NYE fireworks show was simply stunning. But the cruise itself was pretty great, too. What a wonderful, surprising, FUN way to start the year!

They asked us to be there at 7:45 PM and kept us in the cold till 8:05. The food was awful and the atmosphere like a cheap third class restaurant. They were stingy with everything. The only bright spot was our server who tried her very best to accommodate. Wouldn't go near it again.
