5.00Phenomenal experience. If you left the cruise hungry it was your own dang fault. Great variety and great food. Desserts were scrumptious. DJ played great music and the entire crew was outstanding. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Moonlight magic!

5.00The entire evening was everything went expected. Great weather, beautiful sunset, full moon, friendly staff, food was delicious and plentiful. Just one thing that always bothers me is why children are allowed where so much alcohol is consumed. Just my personal view. We have done several evening cruises and this one is one of my favorites.
Lovely evening

5.00It was very easy to book this cruise through Viator. It was also cheaper than booking on city cruises. The food was way better than I expected. The DJ was good. We did a lot of line dances. However he catered to all the people celebrating something. Games on the 3rd deck was cool. The views weren’t anything spectacular. But it is pretty looking at the sunset. Definitely a great date night. Bathrooms were clean. Boat was clean. I suggest booking a Friday night. It wasn’t too crowded. It was just the right amount of people. We celebrated a birthday and she enjoyed herself so a job well done Spirit of Norfolk!!
