Average at best - For the price, I don’t think this was worth it. They did have basic snacks on board basic alcohol. There was no DJ if they would’ve had a DJ definitely would’ve been better. It was a little bland, but I mean if you wanna ride a boat around and see some areas then go for it.

Nice leisurely hour at sea - Nice short cruise. A little boring but it’s only an hour. Nice views of city. You don’t go near islands which was disappointing.

its not a 60 minute sightseeing tour - I went on the Oriole cruise with my family yesterday at 8:00 PM. Overall, we were all very disappointed (a group of 12). First of all, as advertised, it’s not a 60-minute trip; it’s a 40-minute cruise. You could have a better experience on a water taxi for $12 or on much smaller cruises.
The cruise trip started at 8:04 PM (four minutes late) and lasted for 40 minutes, essentially circling the same area without going very far and not even close to the Toronto Island. After 40 minutes, the cruise started backing up to the dock and stopped exactly at 8:48 PM. The final 12 minutes were spent disembarking. By 8:58 PM, the cruise was empty, and the entire experience was less than an hour. It's not worth the money. There are better and cheaper options available around the harborbay on smaller cruises that take you much farther towards and around the back of Toronto Island.

Meh... - Wasn't at all what I expected. It was just average. The views weren't bad. I learned somethings about Toronto, but I thought I would see more.
