Is Lake Lucerne cruise worth it?

We are only in town for two days but this was worth the time. A quick trip around the lake with an audio guide that is in whatever language you wish. A few snacks and drinks on the boat. The ride was smooth and you got to see a lot of different views of the mountains and some of the castles around the edge.
