The entire experience was great! Communication concerning our hotel pickup was excellent, the drive was short, and the cruise was fantastic! Appetizers were on the table, the dinner was delicious, and the stage room was fun. Dessert and coffee capped off a great evening. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend this cruise!

My husband and I had a ball on the cruise! Not only was the food good the entertainment was wonderful. Also, the music they played was great for dancing and we met a lot of nice people who also were on the dance floor having a grand time. Great value also. I will use your company again.

Very good and efficient food service. Dancers were entertaining and energetic. Lots of opportunities to take pictures of lighted up bridges and scenery which were beautiful. Food wasn’t that great but acceptable. Music was a mix of genre to meet needs. Transfer service to and from was excellent. Overall a really fun night!
