We went on the holiday lights cruise last month, on the "Christmas Ship." It's their regular big…read morepaddle wheel boat, all decorated and lit up for Christmas. So cute! We had a great time. Of course, the view was spectacular, eastbound down the river to the Intracoastal and then northbound before we turned around again at Lake Santa Barbara and headed back. The cruise was about two full hours long, which was just right. By that time, we were ready to disembark. The crew members were all very friendly and smiley, from the ticketing agents, to the deckhands, to the bartender, to the narrator (of the sights and homes). We had nice Christmas music the whole way. At the end, as we were getting close to the dock, we had a surprise visit from Santa. There were a few little kids on the boat who really loved that. Even all the "big kids" loved it! We have lived in Fort Lauderdale for over 30 years (and my childhood originally), so we are not tourists. But locals and tourists alike love these river cruises. There's always something new to see, and it's so special to get out in your own hometown along the water and remember why it's such a special city. There is some street parking in the streets and neighborhoods surrounding the boat, but depending on the time of year, it can get hard to find a spot, for example, during holiday holidays and weekends. Directly adjacent to the Carrie B is the Riverside Hotel, whose parking garage, while reserved for valet on the lower floors, has metered parking using Pay by Phone on the upper floors. Just park and take the elevator down, and you are just a block away from the boat. It is very well lit and seems safe at night. If you go in the evening, especially when it's not summer, I recommend bringing a windbreaker or sweater. It can get chilly in the breeze on the upper deck after dark. (Downstairs inside is probably air conditioned, not sure.) There is a full cash bar and some snacks. I suggest arriving early to secure a good spot on the boat. We arrived 40 minutes early and had plenty of seats to choose from. The upstairs deck is divided into a shaded portion in the front half and unshaded in the back half, your preference. The lower deck is inside with tables along tall windows and air-conditioned, I believe. Many people get up and walk around during the cruise (so if you feel like you got a less optimal seat, don't worry). The bathrooms are large, modern, and very clean. I wish I could comment on accessibility features, but I don't know. Perhaps that's elsewhere in the reviews but surely on their website.

I arrived 30 minutes beforehand (recommended) and made my way over to purchase a lemonade and then head up to the top deck for a prime spot before departure. Although our trip was plagued with quite a bit of rain, I had fun. If you write a review of the experience before you return to dock, you get a free commemorative cup! Whoo hoo! This is a lovely way to spend the afternoon in Fort Lauderdale, me hearties! Come "sea" for yourself.

The boat was very crowded with not enough seats for everyone and people were falling all over the place. The water was very choppy and not a good time for beginner snorkelers to be out there. You had to swim very far away from the boat to see anything and my group was too scared for that so we didn't see anything in the water. I ended up with a big bruise on my calf from trying to climb the ladder out of the water with flippers on. They should have warned us about that, to take them off first.
