Dinner on the water
Shannon B,Mar 24, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00The place to pick up your tickets is right where you board. Many reviews made this very confusing, but it is right there at the dock. You are seated with others you may not know. We had family we met there and were seated together. Dinner was good, everyone was happy with their meal. Service was good and it was a nice evening. It was a bit brisk the night we went so we did not venture out of the dining room. This is a good event and is not weather dependent as the dining room is completely indoors.

2.00Organized, easy in and off the ship however the food was terrible. We couldn’t hear the music, it was a one man show. He was good just couldn’t hear from our table. No sightseeing or pointing out of sites. Just food and boat and you could go on top deck for pictures of sunset.

Charleston Night – A Perfect Birthday Celebratio
Altesa J,Feb 23, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00We celebrated my husband’s birthday, and everything was absolutely beautiful. The atmosphere was amazing, the service was outstanding, and the entire experience felt special from start to finish. It truly made his birthday unforgettable. Ten out of ten — I would definitely recommend this experience and we plan on going again in the near future!
Cute little dinner, but need a different boarding pass
Monica A,Feb 22, 2026
- Review from Viator
4.00The cruise itself was fun and the food was good, but nowhere on the reservation did it mention we needed to go to a window to get a boarding pass instead of using the pass that was provided in the app. Would have been nice to know instead of sitting in the line to board the ship to just get sent elsewhere to then go back in line.
Excellent

5.00Excellent experience all around. Everything was great from the service to the food and experience. We went in February and are planning on doing another one in the summer. The only complaint was that the air was humid in the dining area.
Prepaid for a nonexistent dinner cruise
Paula K,Dec 11, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
1.00I prepaid for the dinner cruise ($110.) I followed all the directions to get to the place where we were supposed validate the voucher and was told that all Spirit Cruise ships were in dry dock. I would never use Spirit Cruise Lines or Viator again.
Sardine Can Circles in the moonlight
Paul K,Oct 19, 2025
- Review from Viator
3.00It's not romantic because you're seated at tables with people you don't know and you're crammed in there like sardines. The cruise goes in circles like the Indi 500. On the other hand, the staff is very nice, the food is excellent and the entertainment sang all kinds of music.
A great date night experience
