Carrie B. or Jungle Queen or Riverfront Cruise?

After our cruise we're staying overnight at the 17th Street Hyatt Place and flying home the next day.

We plan to take a sightseeing cruise that afternoon on one of the following:

• Carrie B. cruise
  
• Jungle Queen cruise
  
• Riverfront cruise
  

We've been on the Carrie B before but not the other 2. We plan to just do a sightseeing cruise -- not a dinner/show cruise.

Any comments about the differences between these boats/cruises?

If you just want a sightseeing cruise, take the Water Taxi. You can use it for transportation and a tour. The captains are really entertaining and knowledgeable.

Been on Jungle Queen. Very nice, lots of food / entertainment- very pleased. You should be able to get a Groupon on her.

The Jungle Queens looks interesting. It runs along the inland waterways and up the New River - very picturesque.

We've done them all. When we have visitors we'll take them on the Jungle Queen or the Carrie B depending on whether we want to start and end on the beach/intracoastal area (Jungle Queen) or the New River/Las Olas Blvd area (Carrie B) and no one has ever complained about either cruise :D. But since you have the entire day or afternoon/evening (as opposed to a 1 1/2 hour cruise) I would take the water taxi. It is only slightly more expensive, you'll have transportation for the entire day, and its various routes cover lots more area than the Jungle Queen and Carrie B cruises.

We enjoyed the Jungle Queen - and used a Groupon that got us a pretty decent discount...

Always check out Groupon :)
