5.00The boat tour was so great! The salad was delicious and had really fresh mozzarella on it. We also really enjoyed the band. They played a great variety of music and got the crowd really into it. We would definitely go again.
Fun times!

3.00Food was delicious. Our only regrets you couldn’t catch the scenery as it was too dark. Music was a little loud and hard to visit. I would recommend to others pick a time during the daytime hours.

1.00The food was terrible. Literally cold, grey steak. And it was pitch black before we even left the dock so couldn’t see anything.
The last dinner cruise on lake Tahoe

4.00It was very nice, the people are very friendly. The food was not the greatest , you need to have sunglasses because the sun will blind you unless you have a middle table. The scenery was beautiful but the evening cruise goes by the castle after dark so we didn't get to see that at all an that was a bummer. But the captain was very informative about the area. Still it would have been nice to see the castle. And the band that played wasn't very good, they tried but it was two guys and the singer was a little off. But everyone was so nice. It was cold so we didn't go to the top . Next time we will take an early cruise and wait til it's warm outside
Everything was perfectly...

Fun for first Tahoe Visit

3.00Food is decent and plentiful. Not the best buffet ever but good enough. Would recommend that in the winter, they start the cruise at 5pm instead of 6pm. The “sunset” part of the cruise was when we were all getting in line for food - missed a lot of viewing sunset time. After dinner, there was a two man band performing on second floor dance room. Drummer was good but keyboardist and lead singer was drunk - kept messing up and forgetting words. Didn’t keep the drunk patrons from dancing but us sober ones were just laughing at the train wreck of it all. In spite of all that, the servers were great and we had a good time. Go for your first time visit - night stars are beautiful and it was an interesting experience overall.

5.00Buffet style. Bring a jacket in October. Don’t sit at a table near the door where you board, if it’s cold outside. The lake is absolutely black at night. Get dessert with dinner. Lastly, get the eclairs as soon as you can, they are not restocked.
