The appetizer and dessert were delicious, my steak entree was a bit salty but nothing major. The place is very spacious and DJ selection of music set the mood nicely. There is a very big dance floor for those that want to dance. We were able to walk around the deck and explore as we pleased too. I enjoyed the view and our waiter Johnny made our night! He provided great service and had such a positive mood it made our night. The cruise lasted the full three hours. Very happy with my experience!

OMG we had so much fun!! My daughter and I were celebrating her 17th Birthday and it was an awesome experience. The crew & staff & the DJ were top notch. The diversity of the passengers were inclusive of everyone. Everybody partied with everybody through dancing and taking pictures and laughing etc…. My daughter and I will remember this dinner cruise for a lifetime.

Hello Marvin, Thank you for your kind review! We are so happy that we could provide such a wonderful experience for you and your daughter for her birthday! It truly is so great that this amazing gift created so many memories that will be cherished forever. We hope you keep us in mind for any future unique gifting ideas!

We had a lovely date! On this experience, we had included appetizers, meals, desserts, and dancing. We watched the sunset together from the boat. You can get selfies and some nonalcoholic drinks for free. Keep in mind that you will need to pay for the professional photo and alcoholic beverages (and tip), if you choose those options. Highly recommend this experience!
