    I wasn't sure exactly where to put this tip - Transportation? Sports? We see this ship docked at Waterside when we are there, and people buy tickets at the blue kiosk which also serves as the dockmaster's office.

    I have not taken this cruise. The website says "Her design was inspired by 19th century cargo schooners, yet she possesses the modern amenities that assure a comfortable cruise...spacious topside decks with seating, climate controlled below deck cocktail lounges, clean restrooms, and a ship's store offering souvenirs, snacks, sandwiches, & your favorite beverages" She is licensed for 149 passengers.

    She also does educational cruises for schools.
