The cruise was fun and informative. Definitely a hidden gem in Ft Lauderdale! Plenty of a/c for us! We were coming from a cruise before leaving for the airport later in the afternoon. The crew held our luggage for us and made sure we were comfortable aboard the Carrie B. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting South Florida!

You'll be looking at millionaires houses. Don't expect to see any celebrities. It's nice and air-conditioned or you can sit out on Deck. There's bathrooms that are clean as well.
