I have to admit that I actually didn't take the boat for a cruise, but I was tormented by it for two weekends in a row.
the music is way too loud. I tried to had a relaxing time at the Ontario Place on a Sunday and Saturday afternoon, a picnic with friends... what I got instead? overwhelming and throbbing beats from Stella Borealis that seemed to be moored in front of Trillium Park in the Ontario Place for a more than an hour not going absolutely anywhere. next weekend the same sh%#. seriously, this boat is suppose to cruise around Toronto Islands, yet it spends more than an our around the Ontario Place two weekends in a row. till I've read these reviews I thought honestly nobody on board cares about where they go as long as they have music and booze, and I wanted to suggest going as far from the waterline as possible (like middle of Ontario lake seriously, to spare all beach/park goers, not to mention just Toronto or Toronto Islands residents ears). can the management of the company consider how obnoxious to so many people their enterprise is? Can they play the music not so loud, or make the boat go farther away from he shore? or have it actually moving along instead being moored at the same place for more than an hour? Stella Borealis inflicts torture, it ruins experience for people who live in the city, don't own cottages and just have nowhere else to go but to the lake to cool off. I used to think jet ski were loud, but comparing to Stella Borealis music, jet ski engine sound is like a whisper. I mean it. read more
