We took the Boston Harbor Lunch Cruise on the Spirit of Boston ship. Booking the trip was very smooth, and the trip itself was very enjoyable. Delicious food, great views of Boston Harbor. Thanks!!!
The booking process was fantastic. The staff was extremely helpful. Thank you for everything. We went on the Boston Harbor Lunch Cruise. The ship was great, the 2 hour sailing was wonderful. The only complaint was there was a buffet and passengers started up early (not all food was out). It was 2-sided (same food), but people went down one side only and up the other with the same selections. The boat needed a host or hostess to give directions. Everything else was wonderful. Thank you for everything.
