Our driver Carl was excellent and his commentary along the way was a very nice touch! His knowledge of the landmarks and mountain ranges was second to none. We arrived at the pier and had about 15minutes to board the cruise ship which was much larger than I was expecting. Lunch was provided (Chicken Pie/Proper Crisps/fruit/muesli bar/cheese and crackers/bottle of water) the Pie was OK but seemed to fit the experience as you are only on the cruise for about 2 hours. The crew aboard the jucy cruise are absolutely lovely (The fluffy bearded Irish man was so funny and made us all look like chumps as he stood outside IN THE FREEZING COLD wearing his TSHIRT humming sea shantys) he was awesome! The crew also had some great facts about the abundance of sealife (you will see seal and many birds - occasionlly dolphins drop by and even humpbacks and orca. Overall an amazing day!! Thanks Carl for getting us there and back safely!
