I had a ball aboard the LeBarge for a work Christmas party. It was a unique experience for sure! Lots of room aboard for mingling and dancing.
Cash bar for drinks available. I didn't eat so I'm not sure what was available for purchase, if anything.
Stairs were a little steep going down to cabin.....

We set out a little early for the cruise due to the weather. Right away we seen dolphins, mommy's with their babies. It was an amazing thing to watch.

The people were all very nice. It runs you out into the bay just as the sun is setting. Watching the
