An amazing group of people

The crew was the amazing! I did not think to request assistance boarding. When Kent saw my husband with a cane and he made sure to assist him down the ramp. There was a woman in a wheelchair who Chris assisted down the ramp before Kent took us down. Watching how Hesper and another crew member assisted the woman and her family. I feel comfortable bringing my disabled parents with us on our next cruise. Steve was our Captain and Kelly was our tour guide. During our tour, Kelly told us about the sights. I learned something new about the area I live in. With the current focus on COVID, I can say we felt very comfortable on our cruise. All of the staff, from guest services to the bar staff, made us feel comfortable being around other people. I highly recommend Argosy Cruises for a Harbor Tour! The whole experience was remarkable!
