However, from the start, the captain helped us get a wheelchair down the ramp and into the ship, the servers checked on us a few times, and when it was over, another staff member helped us get up the ramp. Not only did they help us up and down the ramp, but they also did it despite having it under control. They could have easily let us be. However, they went the extra mile and were so kind. My client felt so seen!

A taco bar was included; basic but tasty with both chicken and pork. Chips and salsa as an appetizer. Margaritas were 2/1. I would have liked a narration of the river but there was a map that listed the places we toured by. Definitely something fun to do while in the St. Paul area.

I spent the afternoon in Stillwater, Minnesota. It is a small, scenic town located on the banks of…read morethe St. Croix river. I'm not feeling well, so we didn't do much walking. There were several specialty shops and small cafes. I liked the boat club and took photos of the riverboats. The river was frozen in spots so I wasn't able to take a boat ride. The town was bustling with locals and visitors. I plan to visit again during the summer. If you're even in the Minneapolis area, I highly suggest you visit this town and boat club.

So here is the deal...We rented a nice pontoon boat. We drove the nice pontoon boat down the river…read moreto a sandbar and hung out for an hour. When we tried to start our pontoon boat it was no longer nice. Our boat would not start (the starter had failed). We called the Stillwater boat club and 1hour and 45 minutes later they arrived with a different pontoon boat. Now, I could name the young man who brought the pontoon boat down for us but I don't want to get too personal. I just want to say that we were told, by the fore mentioned young man, that there would be a discount on the fuel and the rental to make up for our time marooned. Here is what we received: An approximate discount on fuel of $10 and a promised $50 discount on the next $490 pontoon rental (gas included). Moral of the story: If you would like to give up 20% of your time on a pontoon and receive a credit for that loss of enjoyment of 10%, go to the Stillwater Boat Club and Rentals. -John C.

Overall, my friend and I had a pretty good experience. The jet skis were superb and the weather out…read morewas beautiful. We were debating doing the 1 or 2 hour rental. We decided to go with the 2 hour rental and were happy that we did. The 1 hour rental would not have been enough time given the massive size of the lake. My only critique is to train the young high school boys a little bit about customer service. They were very rude while assisting us with getting on and off the jet skis and looked like it was a pain to be helping us. On the other hand, the high school girl checking us in and out was great!

As I would turn the machine would lose a lot of power and my partner ran out of gas with a hour left, so they didn't fill up both machines asine still had half a tank left. $600 deposit and make sure to take a good video of the machines. The process of receiving instruction was a little odd as a younger kid was giving us rules then a seemingly drunk older man in a truck kept talking over him who I assume is the owner? Kind of a weird dynamic going on here. The process of taking off and riding was good no issues there.

As much as the real Venice would have been an awesome honeymoon, I think this is as close as one can get in Minnesota. Giovanni took us for about a 45 minute ride around the St Croix while we dined on wine and cheese. He sang us a few songs and taught us some Stillwater history. It was neat to find out the gondola was actually shipped from Italy and that Giovanni has been giving rides for the last 17 years. He made sure we kissed under the bridge for good luck and gave us some great recommendations for other things to do in town.
