2.00The service was poor, the wait staff was not attentive at all. They forgot about our food multiple times and it took forever to get our drinks. The food was also sub par, Other than that we made our own fun dancing outside with the DJ.
Awesome cruise party

5.00Great boat good music great time to set off with tw sunset views of the city. Especially being on the roof. There are certain angles that you see of the city. You really shouldn't put down your phone or camera until a half hour into embarking. Once you get past the industrial stuff you could probably put down the camera and get ready for the party.
False advertising

1.00I’m a returning client ,always satisfied 👍 I’ve taken AML cruise every year to watch the fireworks .This year I decided to take the shorter AML cruise to see the fireworks .I booked 8 tickets for my family and costed me 650$ .. to my surprise when we all got there it was not AML cruise but a small navette which we were trapped inside trying to look out through a small port window.I couldn’t understand ,I thought I was on the wrong cruise but they confirmed that this was our cruise .. I’m not the type to complain but it was definitely not worth the price . If I would of known I would of paid 300$ more and went on the 4 hour cruise, there was no indication when I booked on the cruise web site of AML . Basically we were on the navette that brings you from Jean Drapeau to the old port which usually costs 6$ it’s a transportation ferry and I was charged 85$ a person . When reaching out to Customer service , they basically said there is a no refund policy and they were sorry for the misunderstanding and that if we would of called our reservation department they would of told me that it was a navette / ferry .. ⛴️ Please read the fine prints people🚢I believe it was false advertising 😞
Certainly very good in good weather

4.004 stars due to the idea. Weather was not good and the DJ was moved to the inside of the boat which is not so great, but better than nothing. The team was very nice and attentive and tried hard. Too bad because of the weather as it would certainly be a great event.
Birthday full of atmosphere

2.00Hello, I wanted to make this comment because the service and food leaves much to be desired. Saturday, September 28 my boyfriend booked the RED CARPET section 5 services. I don't even know why he calls it that in order to attract some $$ customers. We chose despite the Award relying on the TITLE CARPET = excellent served 5* in a classy and comfortable atmosphere. We ended up in the center of the room with a small table that I had no place to put my bag that I had to put on my last chair my back. We paid $700+ for two people. The people sitting around us had taken most 3 services to pay at the end half of the amount of money my partner paid. WHAT'S THE POINT? For two more starters that tastes tuna served on a spoon 🥄 with bread. One bite or two and it was over. Very very ordinary food. IN SUMMARY, IT'S MONEY THROWN AWAY IF YOU CHOOSE RED CARPET. While we went out for a moment to take some pictures THEY SERVED US THE MAIN COURSES WHILE WE WERE NOT THERE.🤨 MEDIOCRE service. I'm used to the best restaurants and that's unacceptable for the Award.
The taste to come back!

5.00Thank you to all the crew of Cruise AML for this just incredible cruise! Everything was perfect, the team is very attentive and available when needed. The music and atmosphere is really there. The landscape is really beautiful to see, it is a must do in Montreal! If our stay had lasted longer we would surely have tried a day cruise this time, to relive the experience differently.
incredible!!!

5.00My experience on the evening cruise to Montreal was simply exceptional. From the Check-out The atmosphere was already there with a very nice welcome from the crew. The view of the Montreal skyline is breathtaking! The DJ was superb, we could spend the evening on the dance floor on the outdoor terrace. In addition to that, the cocktails were delicious! in short, it was a wonderful evening with AML cruise.
