A Beautiful Day on the Bay

5.00It was a beautiful experience. The crew was very welcoming, the food was delicious, and the city was gorgeous. The DJ played great selections. My only complaint or concern was that Captain, the DJ and the music were VERY loud. Maybe the mics can be lowered a couple of notches?
No refunds for rain and no customer service

1.00No refunds when it is raining. I tried to call and texted to see if the cruise was canceled bc of the rain but no one would respond. We got there 2 minutes late because of rain and they wouldn’t let us on the boat so we wasted our money and didn’t even get to go on the cruise

5.00We celebrated my birthday on Saturday, September 27 aboard the Hornblower with my twin sister, my boyfriend, and my brother-in-law, and it was truly unforgettable. Dorothy and Paul took such wonderful care of our table, making sure every detail of our celebration was special. The music, the weather, and the people all came together for a spectacular, super-sensational Saturday filled with joy and fun. A special thank-you to the piano player who set the perfect mood, and to the entire Hornblower staff for making our “twin birthday” celebration so magical. I’m especially grateful that I booked this cruise—it was the perfect way to honor a very special day with the ones I love.
Great Day on the water

5.00this is a rather short cruise on the bay, but spectacular views and photo opportunities. The brunch buffet is also very generous.

5.00I had an amazing time on the San Francisco brunch cruise with my friends! The food was delicious and the atmosphere made for such a memorable day. The staff was wonderful and very attentive, especially our server Daniela. She went above and beyond—she was friendly, thoughtful, and even arranged for the captain to wish me a happy birthday over the intercom. She also surprised me with a little slice of lemon cake, which truly made me feel celebrated. Those personal touches were so appreciated and made the whole experience extra special. I would highly recommend this brunch cruise to anyone looking for a fun and unforgettable time on the Bay!
Such a lovely experience....
