5.00My wife and I celebrated our anniversary on the dinner cruise and it was great.. I wish there was a bit more energy on the entertainment aspect (more engaging, inviting us to dance etc..) but overall all it was great.
Lovely!

5.00Wonderful experience! The food was well-prepared & delicious with several entrees to choose from. The service was exceptional as well. There was a bar available (drinks were an added cost) which provided a nice variety. The live background piano music added to the ambiance. Several spots on the outside decks allowed for gorgeous views of the many bridges we passed on the river & the narrative provided a wonderful history of their design. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously.
Cruise is great. Be sure...

4.00Cruise is great. Be sure to take your headphones if you want information on what you are seeing. Bring warm clothing as it can get cold on the observation deck which is where you get the best views. Food was excellent, service was excellent.
Unique dinner experience while on vacation
