Very much liked it. People very friendly! Ask to order your meal choice early as they have limited availability on the main entrees.
Awful !

Good and service were terrible. They ran out of food. Our waitress kept asking us what we would like for our first course after informing us that there were no choices as they were out of everything but the bisque. We received our entrees minutes before we pulled into the doc at the end of the trip. Would never do this again !
Great Experience

It was an amazing experience for my new wife who had never been to California. I had planned the cruise as part of our newly wed trip. The table was perfect with Champaign and roses waiting for our arrival. The menu and food was great. Service was awesome! The cruise can be a little expensive with all the add-ons but as a special occasion event its money well spent. It created a lasting impression/memory for my wife and myself...

Excellent cruise experience all around!! From boarding to the food and hospitality, it was all great. I highly recommend this cruise! Our server Madison was friendly and very attentive, we had a window seat and it was worth the upgrade. I’ll definitely be making time to try the brunch cruise next. It was a great Mother’s Day:)
Great Family Time

Particularly enjoyed being aboard The Wild Goose and experiencing the surroundings of John Wayne. The staff were all genuinely personable. The food was very good and with great variety. Great day experience over all.

It was very unorganized, the server only got our appetizers right, they forgot one of our entrees all together, and I paid for the drink package and ended up having to buy my drinks. On top of that the bartender was so busy, it took forever to get drinks.
Do this Cruise!

We held a wedding with City Cruises, which was exceptional. Our most recent dinner cruise was on Christmas Eve. Boat, weather, sunset, crew, food, music all were exceptional. We will keep going and taking out of town guests for a unique and wonderful Southern California experience.

The captain of the boat decided to make his own rules about the smoking policy. If this was to be a non smoking cruise it should have been stated . I’m pissed it ruined our experience. I wanted to just get off! I want a refund!!
