Beautiful cruise it was great to experience going through the locks to cruise in the lake. The wine and cheese selections were great as well.

No clear instructions on where to go to load and the boat was overloaded. Not enough tables for guests. Wine and cheese tasting does not describe heres a box od stale cheese and knock yourself out We were on a two hour cruise - over an hour to get through the lock and out to the cruise Missed the sunset Turned around after 10 mins to get back through the lock - then a 20 min unscheduled tour up the river because our parking space was full. They closed the bar though cause the scheduled time was up. This was the last cruise of the summer and the cheese felt like it had been pa ked all summer, completely inedible. Wine was average, with the typical nz savignon blanc being nothing like a nz sav Really dissapointed

The Chicago skyline at sunset was just a beautiful & amazing soght to see. The weather was perfect & the water was not choppy which made it a smooth cruise. The only issue I had with the cruise is that I wish the wine & cheese was served to us. Instead we had to make multiple trips to get our wine & cheese.
