Beautiful Night on the Potomac

Check in and boarding process was seamless and the boat offered beautiful views of the city. There were a couple private parties on the boat the same night so the crowd was a lot of fun! The bar made good cocktails (extra). Food was delicious! Dancing was fun! Views from the Potomac were great as the city lit up after sunset.

What a dump I would give zero stars if that was an option The boat needs a total refurbishment The carpets we’re disgusting, the furniture tired and needs burning The only thing premium is the price The service was rubbish The food arrived after 90 mins, we gave up waiting for drinks and went to the bar ourselves The food when it finally arrived was utter filth Dry chicken in some disgusting sauce The point of cruise was obviously the view but they put up a party wall so we could only see half the view All in all the most disappointing thing we did in Washington Unless you like crap food, piss poor service in a minging boat you should avoid
Float On!!

The dinner cruise was beautiful and relaxing yet fun. The music was really nice and had a great time dancing. The food was okay, expected a little more base on the price of this cruise. But all in all it was very nice.

This was a bust for me. We didn’t see the city lights. We were ported before the sun actually set and prior to time stayed in advertisement. The food was good and service was good but for the price and the event title, we should have seen the city after sunset as that was the whole point of the boat ride.

Bad Experience for the cost. The advertising was for a dinner cruise with a night time view of DC monument. Never happen. No where near the monument. The food was cold and our meals were served to the folks next to us who used there folks on the dish and then they pull the meal from their table moved it back to the staging area. Then I watched them serve us the same food the table next to us just touched 15 minutes later. Unacceptable. Not worth the $435 for 2.
