    Everything was to satisfaction except, breakfast was not included. We asked for waterfront veiw and ground floor due to broken foot. Everything was accessible accept the wheelchair elevator in the evening to the pool ( 2nd floor) then needed to decend stairs with a PSW to get to the pool. Other than that it was lovely.

    A very well organized, informative & scenic cruise serving a delicious meal. Outstanding service! Unfortunately, at no fault of the cruise company, we shared the cruise with a group of conference people who dominated, were very loud and showed little regard for the other guests who could not hear the tour guide. You have the option of sitting inside or outside on the top deck. All of staff were exemplary. Would recommend this cruise to anyone visiting the Kingston area.....just pray that you don't share it with a conference. The lunch was superb and so delicious......several choices.

  • Great lunch and journey!

    Really good, but tour guide was drowned out by customers at times, and too many flies.

  • Had bad luck?

    Okay, we had bad luck and received one of the worst seats for the booked meal - at the front of the center aisle, where the service constantly passes by, and we got our food last. Since my daughter is a vegetarian, she ordered stuffed bell peppers as her main course from three options. Just before we were served, unfortunately, the vegetarian dish was out.

  • Excellent!

    All staff , crew and entertainers were very good. The boat was clean and in good condition, the toilets were clean and well maintained. The organisation with ordering drinks was a bit chaotic and the food was a little cold by the time we got served but delicious. Would recommend!

    What a great way to spend the afternoon! The cruise on the Island Queen was a fantastic experience. The service, food and staff were excellent quality. It exceeded our expectations and is great value for the price. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to get a feel for the islands.

  • Fun experience; had its flaws but worthwhile to do

    Pretty good. Narrator could have spoke with more confidence. Meal could have been served before the turn around the islands, as it was hard to listen and observe, and eat at the same time. Waitresses were friendly. Could have had more coffee choices instead of all the alcohol choices. Interesting trip and lots of good information. Jazz group was cheeky but played the part. Worthwhile to do and a great way of spending an afternoon

  • Highly recommend this cruise

    Lunch on the middle deck was lovely. Closed in with glass windows and excellent food and service. Ryan, our waiter was attentive and pleasant.
