Not worth it

Shilene_J, Apr 2024

The Riverboat was beautiful. The food was excellent. The problems were that they ran out of food 10 minutes in. I was quite upset as I had paid as much as all of the people with a full belly while mine grumbled for more. The service was terrible. Slow to non-existent. The "entertainment" was simply live bands. They were good bands but that's not the entertainment I was expecting so it made 2 hours on the boat seen pretty long. Communication about how it all worked as AWFUL so we experienced a lot of confusion from beginning to end. I definitely would rather have just eaten at a river front restaurant.

Dinner was good, great...

Robin_K, Apr 2024

Dinner was good, great choices. Staff very friendly and helpful. Sunset on the river, very memorable.

Party Cruise!

Michael_D, Apr 2024

Sharing the experience with friends, whom we hadn't seen since last year & the cruise was a spare of the moment thing....glad we did it.

Obnoxious Bachelorette Party Ruined the night

Danielle_P, Apr 2024

The food was OK and the service was good. The Bachelorette party ruined the entire experience. They were loud and obnoxious. The grandmother was using the pole as a stripper pole with a dress that exposed everything! They had plenty to drink before they arrived and couldn't wait for their waitress to greet them before going directly to the bar for drinks and shots.

It’s our anniversary!

Markisha_D, Apr 2024

Everything was nice and the atmosphere was pleasant. Loved the vibe. We will definitely do this again!

Life is simple, just add water

Staci_F, Apr 2024

This activity is something anyone of all ages would enjoy. The only negatives about this are, imo, easily addressed. First, the overall exterior of the riverboat is clean with semi fresh looking paint. The interior of the boat however, leaves something to be desired. If you do not look hard at details you’d problem not be bothered. The walls are dingy with marks and some areas with peels in the wallpaper. There are areas that are in need of fresh paint. The baseboards were old and coming away from the walls. The carpeting, needs to either be deep cleaned or completely replaced. The colored fibers are faded in high traffic areas. Also noticed that clearly the vacuuming was not done in detail at the walls edge or in tight corners. Simply put the decor needs updating. As for the food, we arrived at 6:50ish in the evening. The buffet lines were confusing on where it started and where it ended. The food itself was ok. We were served mixed vegetables, roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, chicken, fish, grits, shrimp with grits, cheap steak, and peach cobbler with ice cream. There was also creamy horseradish and aus jus for your steaks and/or potatoes. On your table is your reserved card, bread with plate and butter, and utensils. We were lucky to be able to move to sit at a window. There were 3 decks, first two were for the dining service and the top deck was for the sunset cruise without dinner. This area had some snacks and beverage options. Alcohol is served on all decks and are purchased separately then what is covered in your purchased package. The sights were nice at sunset but we had a lot of forward view blocked by a cargo ship leaving the river. Overall sites throughout the cruise were mostly industrial with some wooded areas, as well at the riverwalk where you take off and docking. Sunset was very pretty and definitely you can get some IG worthy shots. Our trip was windy and had a chill, so bring a light coat. The music was different on each level but very entertaining for all. They take your photo when boarding and you can purchase the image at the end of the night. Our trip we experienced printer troubles and some shots were not available. The ladies with the Photgenic group, said that you can purchase digital copies on their website using a code. So do not know the cost of that or if purchased deck. Experience was enjoyable and recommended as an activity to do in Savannah that provides all the amenities in on place, food, alcohol, site seeing, and entertainment.

Great family experience

Lawrence_G, Apr 2024

It was a wonderful time. Food was good, a little loud but a lot of fun. It was not crowded and easy on and off

Scam

Haili_D, Apr 2024

I was robbed out of my money I did not even get to experience dinner cruise because the boat was gone arrived on time I then called customer service they could not do anything to help me this is very much a scam!!!! I would never book through this site ever again very disappointed!!!!

Family fun

Latonya_H, Mar 2024

It was nice. The food was good and the was wonderful. We enjoyed sitting outside and enjoying the view of the sunset.

Don’t do it.

Adam_L, Mar 2024

Very unorganized. No instructions on what to do. The entertainment was mediocre. We were beyond ready to leave.

Robert_W, Mar 2024

Peaceful ride on boat. Meeting other great people. Food was good . Live entertainment was a plus. Talking to ship mates a joy, being one was also a navy veteran like myself

amazing trip

Lisa_W, Mar 2024

the food was amazing and the sunset just cannot be described. Pictures cannot do it justice . will definitely do it again!!

Meal was marginal.

Richard_S, Mar 2024

Fun excursion. Dinner was marginal, fish was over cooked and curling. Our server, Michaela, was awesome!

Excellent way to explore historic district of Savannah

Yuliya_M, Mar 2024

Great experience for those who want a little extra from their dining experience. Definitely will be back with friends and family

Not great for the money

Colleen_S, Mar 2024

The buffet was good unfortunately you needed more help at each station. One person should’ve been at each station serving. Food got cold as the result of waiting. Band was bad. It was like elevator music. People wanted to dance. Music was a huge disappointment.

Average

Lora_N, Oct 2023

The entertainment was lots of fun. However, the food was only fair and the sites to see were limited to a small part of the journey. Beautiful sunset though.

Don't over book, if you can't accommodate each customer properly.

Ava_D, Sep 2023

Service was s***** , we got no bread, no salad, the service was slow, drinks were late, very late. They came after dinner. Buy the ride was good. But I was happy about the handicap accessibility and the smooth ride.

Skip Dinner Cruise

Ralph_R, Sep 2023

For starters, it’s not a “Paddle Wheel” boat, it’s fake. The dinner cruise isn’t worth it. Service was absolutely terrible! We had to ask for a wait person. Ordered drinks, never came. Had to ask someone else. Bread was late, had to ask for it. Buffet-mushy vegetables, tasteless fish, chicken dish was terrible and peach cobbler wasn’t fit to eat. The only thing good was the sliced beef. Cruise was nice up the river and back. Then a horrendous tip expected for poor service.

Nice but…

Debra_S, Sep 2023

We were disappointed in the food. The set-up is nice on the first level. Music was good, but you really want to eat and get outside as long as the weather is nice. Once up on the top level, we discovered there were other options other then the expensive dinner option, which we wish we had done instead.

Great Time

Andrea_F, Sep 2023

Food , customer service and DJ upstairs. Our waiter Matthew was very attentive and very pleasant. Service with a smile was great.
