Nice cruise, could be great but for a few glitches.

JENNIFER_S, Jul 2023

Ship was cool (had to call to find out name of the ship as you’re not told at booking, which is annoying), food was decent tho not great (buffet table items weren’t that hot), disco music was WAY too loud. Most frustrating was that we were given an inside table rather than a window table, we were told the window tables were “reserved”. There was no option to reserve a window table at booking tho, not even for an upcharge. Would have done this if offered. Several window seats stayed empty throughout the cruise but we were never offered the option to move, even tho we asked. The staff was great tho and the views were spectacular.

We never received a notification that we were missing the Yatch

Stefanos_C, Sep 2022

We arrived couple minutes after 1pm and the yatch is gone. We never received any notification or call to let us know, maybe if they wait 3 minutes we don’t miss it

I am over 70 years old, I was surprised no seating area to enjoy the breeze and view outside of the boat.

We couldn’t get on the boat and they wouldn’t let us reschedule or get a refund $800 down the drain So upsetting

Disappointed

sandra_o, May 2022

Disappointed that boat did not have seats outside of the deck to enjoy the beautiful weather and view.

Great time

Food was great. Service was also great. Really enjoyed that we got to go around the boat and see the scenery from higher up.

Charles_F, Aug 2020

Erin F, Jan 2018

Good tour- food was excellent as was the service- beef, fish and other options. The gourmet coffee bar was just regular coffee and a few flavored syrups rather than espresso/cappuccino. The ride was a good length and was smooth despite the stormy weather outside.

For the price, the food did not live up to my expectations. Also, it would have been better not to sit at the pier for an hour before we started cruising the lake.

Food and service were excellent, the ship was good too. The cruise could have been more interesting than just going round in circles within the breakwater, limiting view to just the immediate city coastline
