Choose another cruise line for this
After waiting an hour just to get on the boat we then had to wait another 20 minutes in the docking area. There was only one bartender and they charge you up the wazoo for drinks.

Not as expected.
They has us standing in line for over an hour. The bulk of the tour was us waiting to have the gate open to access the outer waters. The captain was not to friendly with their boarding speech. Very rude.

Beautiful evening event and the commentary was very informative.
Take a jacket. The breeze from the lake gets a bit cool in the evening. There are drinks available on the boat for purchase.
