It was a lot of fun, for kids and adults. The ship has been re-outfitted so there is essentially bleacher seating affording good views for all. The tour guides were engaging, funny, informative without it being like a science classroom. It was interactive in that audience members could participate in some of the demonstrations if they chose to do so, and tour guides were great in making sure everyone got as close a view of the different crabs as you wanted (hold them, look at them, etc. No idea if they still do this, but at one point, we cruised over to an island and they started throwing fish up into the air and immediately we had a dozen or more bald eagles flying around, grabbing the fish out of mid-air. It was spectacular. For what it is worth, I grew up in the northwest, so a lot of this was not too out of the ordinary for me, but I thought it was great. My wife, from Kentucky, loved it. I think you will also.
