    I had such an amazing time on this ship! I booked this for my family and I as one of my activities…read moreon my birthday weekend. Getting the tickets was super easy online. It is $35 plus tax etc for all you can drink (alcohol/wine) boat ride for about an hr and a half. If you don't drink alcohol you can get all you can drink non alcoholic beverages as well. We arrived early and they started boarding on time. There were a few other ppl on our boat but it was not too crowded at all. I was afraid it was going to be a kiddie type with of event with the pirate theme but actually the kids were all on the lower deck being entertained by the workers. Most of the adults were on the top deck doing our own thing. The drinks were good! The bartender was friendly, as well as all of the other staff. Out of all the activities I did that weekend with my family this was by far my favorite. The ride was relaxing. The vibes were chill and they even had some music and had us join in the cha cha slide. We watched the sun go down and took pics. The weather was perfect that time of night and the views were phenomenal. I would definitely go on this exact boat ride again. I'm glad I chose this for my birthday. It is really a great value boat ride for the whole family to enjoy!

    What a nostalgia trip! I went on this boat maybe 35 years ago and remembered it fondly. I still…read moreremember several of the stories and jokes I heard aboard way back then. When my family was embarking on a cruise from Fort Lauderdale, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to introduce my own kids to the Jungle Queen. It's a short boat ride that takes you through the canals behind the mansions and quasi-famous homes on the water. Your guide on board will tell you about the homes and landmarks you pass en route. There is a bar on board, so no need to sail sober! LOL There are also a few snacks for purchase. The air movement on the boat keeps you from getting too warm, even when the sun is blazing, but don't forget your sunscreen. There's no bad seat aboard. All in all, it's a nice little boat ride if you're looking to get outside and burn some time in Fort Lauderdale. There is a string of food shops along the waterfront outside the entrance, so you can plan to grab lunch or dinner before or after your ride. We really enjoyed our trip, but I'm deducting one star due to the boat traffic (which I know they cannot really help). Maneuvering around all the other drunks in their watercraft was kind of a drag.

    Hubby and I had so much fun here...and yes, we went alone! We weren't the only ones either…read more Imagine an all-inclusive beach resort with cool animal excursions, food and drink, snorkeling, and so much more. The check-in process was a little slow-going, but the staff were friendly and professional and got us taken care of as soon as possible. On the website and in emails, they tell you what you need to bring and what they provide. DON'T FORGET YOUR WATERPROOF PHONE CASES! They don't include that on the list, but they sell them for $40. Bring your GoPro too, if you have one. For some of the special experiences, like the SeaVenture, they will offer to let you use one and then they will charge you for the videos and images. I was kicking myself because I forgot to bring either. Our interactions with the gift store staff were probably the least enjoyable. They seemed uninterested in assisting us and would rather count down their drawers or take inventory than ring us out. One lady told us that the other would assist us but eventually saw that the extensive wait time was unreasonable, especially in an otherwise empty store. Our most enjoyable interactions were with the marine life! I was not a fan of the full-body wetsuit that I was told was required for the SeaVenture. Sizing was eye-balled and inaccurate! I also got a pretty nasty rash after wearing it. I have extremely sensitive skin that did not agree with that material or the fact that it is shared and I'm not sure how they are cleaned/sanitized. When we arrived to the SeaVenture, almost every other participant was wearing the short-sleeved, shorts version of the wetsuit. I wish I had been given the option to choose. The dolphins were absolutely adorable and so entertaining. The aviary was fun and interesting, and the birds ate ALL DAY, despite what I'd read and heard through videos about needing to get there first thing in the morning. The current in the lazy river was the only thing lazy about the river. You do have to work to move around in there. I spent the majority of my time in the grand reef. Snorkeling for the first time in an atmosphere like this was 10 out of 10 highly recommended! If we come back again in the future, we'll skip the Day Bed rental, as we didn't utilize it at all. I got it just in case it started raining. I wanted us to have shelter. It did rain while we were there and I just stayed in the Grand Reef until it stopped! We had fun during our "under the sea" adventure (SeaVenture), but I could skip that next time. I would've opted for a dolphin encounter instead. The food was just okay. It's hard to mess up breakfast, so it was good, but lunch was meh. I had some very basic salmon and some creamy, but unseasoned, macaroni and cheese. We also had the drink package and tried to get our money's worth, but it isn't very wise to get tipsy and go snorkeling, so opted to focus on the snorkeling.

    Discovery Cove was absolutely amazing! One of the best parts is that so much is included with your…read moreadmission. Between the food, drinks, snacks, beautiful beaches, lazy river, snorkeling, and relaxing atmosphere, there is plenty to enjoy without adding a single extra upgrade. We chose to do the dolphin encounter, and it was 100% worth it. It was a memorable experience and definitely a highlight of our visit. That said, even without the dolphin encounter, we would have had an incredible day. Everything felt well organized, clean, and relaxing. If you're looking for a unique Orlando experience where you can truly slow down and enjoy yourself, Discovery Cove is worth every penny. We had a fabulous time and would gladly return!

She is very attentive in finding you just the right place, patient if you change objectives mid search, and follows up to make sure all went well. In this day and age of everyone being their own internet travel agent, Jill's expertise and easy nature makes you wonder why you ever went through the hassle of combing through page after page of resort reviews on trip advisor! Walk away from the computer and start enjoying your vacation!!!! PS - She is great for solo traveling - making sure you end up somewhere that is totally comfortable.

After my best friend and I spent months researching all the options for a combination of health, exercise, wellness, relaxation, spa services, meals all over the United States - we were overwhelmed with the options and found by luck Just Spas and Adventures. Jill was able to narrow it down to the top 3 that would encompass an amazing life changing experience. Once we made our decision, Jill was not only able to match the resorts current internet specials, she was also able to negotiate additional benefits (spa dollars) above what was included in the rates (that the resort offered with direct bookings). We spent a glorious 5 days a Canyon Ranch Tucson - an all-inclusive wellness resort. We had an amazing time. For anyone looking at vacation planning reach out to Jill.
