candydane Posted October 21, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2016 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted October 22, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited October 22, 2016 by BlueHerons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loubetti Posted October 22, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Been on Jungle Queen. Very nice, lots of food / entertainment- very pleased. You should be able to get a Groupon on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant2000 Posted October 22, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2016 The Jungle Queens looks interesting. It runs along the inland waterways and up the New River - very picturesque. http://fort-lauderdale.ca/transportation/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted October 22, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 22, 2016 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.

txjeeplady Posted October 22, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 22, 2016 We enjoyed the Jungle Queen - and used a Groupon that got us a pretty decent discount... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
