5.00We had a lovely time! The buffet was open from the moment we boarded the ship. Our waitress was very attentive. She asked if we were celebrating anything special to which we told her it was our anniversary. She later brought out a small desert plate that said "Happy Anniversary". The buffet was open the 30 minutes of boarding and the two hour cruise. The food was excellent!! And the crew was very nice!

5.00Michael, our waiter, was fantastic! He was attentive and friendly. The cruise was beautiful and the food was delicious. We didn’t opt to listen to the history audio, but did catch bits of it when we went out on deck. The crew was very friendly and helpful during boarding and disembarking. It was a great trip for a girls brunch!
Definitely do this!

3.00The brunch cruise was good. There could have been more variety of foods offered. We did not like the sparkling wine. Champagne is from France. The boat was old and dirty. The tour guide announcements could only be heard outside in the heat. The buffet should have been offered on both floors and not just on the first floor. overall, the experience was good. However, it could be so much better.
