Me and my girlfriend went here on a Brunch Cruise for our two year anniversary and it was absolutely amazing.The food... was great, they had a full selection of breakfast from waffles to French toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, ham and so much more. They also had plenty of lunch options as well. The food was great and the view of San Diego was gorgeous coming from visitors who had never seen the city previously. Bottomless mimosas as well which were great. Service was some of the best we’ve ever as well. Shoutout to Christian our waiter he was amazing. Overall definitely recommend especially for a special occasion.read more

Had a wonderful experience. Went for my husband's Birthday. He liked very much. One The crew member let us know that... during summer the experience is much better since there is more activities that you can see while on the cruise. But was perfect for us.read more

We saw some gray whales today! Beautiful weather and great to use with the San Diego go city pass. They have a snack... bar on board but we just brought our own and the 3.5-4 hours flew right by. It gets a little cold out on the water being in January but still very pleasant. I was a little cold with long pants and a sweatshirt so you may want another layer if you want to stand outside the whole time. We went to an indoor lower deck just at the end. Overall a fun experience. In the future if we were to bring our kids I think this might be a little long for younger children. Knowing my kids I would say kids under 12 may be bored and expect to see more whales and tricks. If they're expecting that, just do Sea World. But if they're content with a peaceful trip out on the ocean and glimpses of whale's tales, coming up for air and a few sea lions, they'll enjoy it.read more

My last evening is San Diego was well spent taking the evening cruise bought at Groupon. Purely luck based but my... experience closed off with a spectacular sunset and a giant moon appearance by mountains. Seals also can be spotted! The animal not the military unit. Superb bar with drinks and light snacks. I totally recommend anyone new to the city to take it. It's about $20 for a great 2 hour boat ride.read more

My sister and brother in law were in town so we decided to take this tour. They loved it and so did we! The staff was... super accommodating: We ended up missing our first boat, but the woman at the ticket booth rescheduled us to the next tour with no issues. The views were gorgeous and it was really neat to learn about some of the historical and famous landmarks around the bay. We would definitely recommend this tour and we will definitely be doing it again.read more

The champagne brunch cruise is hands down a wonderful experience. Definitely a worthy tourist type activity in San... Diego. Even if you're a local, it is the perfect experience for a special occasion. My boyfriend and I celebrated his birthday and had a prime table on the top deck of the cruise (bring sunscreen!). Lots of really good champagne and a delicious breakfast included. We had Caesar as our waiter, he was super attentive and hardworking making sure we all had everything we needed. The views were beautiful and it was a super calm, steady ride floating along the waterfront and under the Coronado bridge. It's safe to say Flagship exceeded my expectations, you get the bang for your buck with this experience!read more

Did the full, 2 hour harbor tour and greatly enjoyed it. Very laid back time but saw many of the sights that I'd seen... from the shore, but now from the water. Great photo ops for downtown skyline views and many Navy ships and aircraft flying around. Tour guide was knowledgeable and pleasantly corny sense of humor. Many interesting anecdotes about the buildings and islands we passed. Highlight for me was seeing all of the Navy ships. Many are seen that aren't visible from the shore, at least not that I've ever seen. Overall, this was a good value and quite enjoyable.read more

I've sailed with them previously and enjoyed it, so I was trying to purchase four tickets for my guests.i walked alone... to the booth to get the tickets.So I wasn't a customer yet this time but probably never will be again since I had a negative customer service experience just asking for information. I asked the girls working there for information and told them that I was hearing impaired and only read lips. They proceeded to talk with their masks on. I stepped back and said please lower your masks and tell me what you just said and one said no the other one walked away like she didn't have the patience to deal with me. The other started yelling whatever she was saying with her mask on with a definitive tone. I then apologized and explained again that I read lips and won't understand no matter how loud she spoke. She just stared at me at that point.So I walked away and purchased a cruise from Hornblower / City Cruises for my party of four instead. They were much nicer and we enjoyed that cruise.The staff need sensitivity training for customers who are deaf or hard of hearing. I'll go to Hornblower from now on.read more

If you are in San Diego - definitely see the Midway! I have toured the USS Intrepid in New York and also the USS... Lexington in Corpus Christi. I thought this was better because there is much more below deck access and the docents giving lectures on the flight deck actually served as carrier pilots on this very ship! It was fascinating to listen to them and hear their experiences flying planes from this ship. Lots of great static displays - WW 2 aircraft on the hangar deck and more modern choppers and jets on the flight deck. There is also an F-14 cockpit you can sit in. Well staffed, great views, nice bookstore and gift shop plus a place to eat. They have self-guided audio tours and a vast array of things to see below deck. Great fun for families and kids. It is also a fantastic learning experience. Give yourself a full day to see the entire ship, all the aircraft and definitely stop and listen to the docent lectures - you will learn a lot and enjoy hearing their stories. It's a really nice experience overall.read more

Great 2 hour sight seeing cruise! Well worth it for sure. Thank you! I saw some other reviews talking about the time... and sound quality. Sound was perfect for our trip and I think the turnaround time was added to the cruise, so it was a full 2 hours. We enjoyed it very much!read more

Our first time taking the kiddos on a family sight seeing cruise. They enjoyed seeing everything from the water. Abe... took a group pic. Very courteous. ?During the second tour, the snack bar cashier was rude. I was next in line & he asked who's next? I said hello? I'm right here. ?‍♀️ Order sodas for my boys. He filled the cups full of ice, and not full of soda. For the next two drinks, I said light ice. And he only put 4 cubes. ?Overall experience was great. ☺️read more

Great service. Nice table spacing. You are not eating on top of each other. Ship layout was well thought out. Food... was okay. The fish was dry and the rest was nothing to write home about. Stair wells were a bit narrow compared to other dining cruisesread more

The ride (The Patriot speed boat) is not that scary at all. At least for me it wasn't. My wife was worried that the... parents of two small children. We (I) was putting our life in danger. I didn't. It is perfectly safe. High speed fun with music to accompany the ride. We didn't get wet that much. You know it's fun when it's over too soon. Those jet engines sound great.read more

Great cruise, ok food experience, and overall poor service. However, I think it was only our waiter that was the... problem. I did notice that the other servers were attending to their guest very well. We had to look for our server multiple times to order appetizers and drinks. Furthermore, he was very leisure about serving our section the courses. The prime rib was good, just a bit cold, salad and dessert were fantastic. The cruise started at 6:30 and ended at 9:00. This was perfect to see the bay by daylight and end the night by the city skyline. I would do this again just sans our last server.read more

My kids and friends had fun doing the North Harbour Cruise of San Diego. Our tour guide was funny. Next visit we will... try this tour again for sure.The price very affordable per head. I had it book in booking.com. Found this on booking.com suggestions for attractions and activities.Not too crowded too. Had lots of space to move around the Cruise. Also, we can eat and drink while inside the Cruise which was a plus.read more

This is a very fun cruise on a great boat. I suggest take both the North and South cruise, and go as late as possible... in hopes of sunset photos under the Coronado Bridge. If you take your camera, be sure to get a spot in the bow of the boat to be able to get photos without other passengers in them. Also, look for the Navy dolphin (LIVE DOLPHIN) being trained from a zodiac. Pretty neat trip, reasonable price as well.read more

Beautiful views, good service, interesting information, draft-beers and cocktails available, plus you get to go under... the Coronado Bridge, which is cool. ? Walk over to Seaport Village when you're done and get a tasty 32-oz. Coronado Brewing "Weekend Vibes" IPA and some tasty grub at Mr. Moto's Pizza (definitely try the ricotta and spinach-stuffed garlic knots), chill and just drink in the beautiful sunset.? ? If you need a change of scenery, you can just stumble next-door to Mike Hess Brewing.read more

Make sure you arrive early so you can choose the best seating. This was our first trip and we enjoyed the relaxing... atmosphere. Took a morning trip and left us wanting more. Prior to boarding you’ll be asked for a group photo. We purchased our photos for $20. We will return for the whale watching tour, and we’ll try to be early to get a good seat. Adult beverages were available as well as hot dogs. We didn’t partake but the option is there.read more

Had an amazing time in our 60 min boat tour. Definitely could have gone for longer. Plan to in the future. Boat was... clean and easy to distance, not too meant on board. It was a smooth ride and they served drinks and some lunch foods such as hamburgers and hotdogs.You can however bring your own snacks and drinks, my fiance and I brought a small bag of snacks and water bottles and that suited us. Overall a very pleasant experience. Glad we went.read more
