We are sailing in Oct on the Rhapsody and are considering taking the Star Gazer cruise aboard the Western Union schooner.

 

Anybody been there/done that??????

I have given a review (not a very good one I am afraid) about this before....do a search for posts by me and you should find it. If not, let me know and i will repost.

Apparently the old review mustve been canned when CC did that change a while back...the gist of it was that I found the star gazer tour a little expensive and hokey. Its on a great boat, with a great crew but the astromomer who lectures you about what you are seeing is a little over the top. I guess too, I hate being on a sailing ship and not sailing....in order to keep your view to the stars open, they don't put up the sails so its a motor tour. The best parts of the tour were the key lime pie and seeing this really neat lazer that the guy used to point to the stars....not sure how it works, but it looks like it is touching the star!

Do they serve more than just key lime pie? They mention a hot appitizer in the description?

 

Thanks!

I don't recall anything other than wine or beer, the KLP and soft drinks..but it was more than a year ago so they may well have changed their offerings.
