My family took this cruise this weekend. We didn't really take it for the Alcatraz aspect, more for the length of it - an hour and a half combined with the $13 price. This was awesome! They sell snacks and drinks on the cruise. The cruise staff is really super nice and accomodating - they even wished by Dad a happy 70th birthday over their PA system! I'll definitely do this again.Written on Sep 27 2010

Dress warm!! Very cold and windy in month of July. Honestly after 45 minutes, we were ready to head back to dock. The cruise circled Alcatraz twice, and we were envious of those that were actually on Alcatraz.Written on Jul 27 2010

pretty cheap cruise. definitely would have liked to stop by the island but going around twice was good enough as it was pretty cold. the narration was pretty interesting and was a relaxing trip to start out the day.Written on Dec 07 2010

I took my boyfriend on the cruise for his birthday and we both loved it. There were many beautiful sights and the weather was perfect. The only time it got cold was when the ship was going against the wind towards the golden gate. The members on the cruise were very kind and helpful.Written on Oct 04 2011
