The dinner cruise did not disappoint! The views were beautiful! The food and drinks were delicious! Loved the DJ and dancing! Everyone was friendly and helpful. The service at our table started out a little bit slow but he stepped up and finished with an A+. I would definitely recommend this experience. Very enjoyable! Just the right amount of time as well.

The staff was amazing; they were attentive and appeared happy to be there. The tour up and down the bay was beautiful and so worth it. The inside atmosphere was elegant and cozy. The only reason I didn’t give it a five star was the chocolate cake and the DJ. A little more rhythm and blues would have been nice. But all in all, our family of 9 enjoyed it and everyone around us appeared to enjoyed it as well. Thank captain and staff.

The food was really good. There was a variety to choose from I.e. chicken, salmon, and/or beef. There were veggies, bread, salad, and garlic potatoes (which I had a nice serving of) the food was made perfectly. Not overly or under seasoned. Though the salad had cheese, a friend of mine was able to get a serving of salad in the side without cheese. The DJ played a variety of music and even played requests. The only thing, the cruise was suppose to be for three hours but we were only out for 2 hours.
