The food was delicious, the staff were extremely friendly, and the show was very nice. However, the air temperature was extremely chilly to the point where many of the visitors were wearing tablecloths to keep warm.
We used the complimentary shuttle service to the boat so we didn't have to fight mall parking. The boat had engine issues and we were called earlier to let us know the boat couldn't sail. We were offered full refund or stay at dock with full dinner & show with refund of $25 each. We went! Food was good, show was great & servers were fabulous. This was 2nd time and would definitely go again.
Unfortunately the boat didnt sail as there was some mechanical problem..the show went on though..food and show were excellent but it was freezing...the air conditioning must have been set to the coldest possible. Everyone at our table complained but the air-conditioning was not altered. It did spoil the enjoyment. It wasn't just our table that was cold..lots were using the cotton napkins as shawls!! Just take a jacket with you if you're going..just incase. !
Wonderful experience! Great show, staff, performers, atmosphere! Loved it! We enjoyed every minute of it 😀
The staff on board were excellent. The dinner was of poor quality, the show was fantastic. Being able to take photos of the downtown area at night from the river was worth the trip. Overall I would recommend this activity.
Everything was perfect! Except fire having to give one hundred characters for this review. That part stinks
Was not able to leave the dock. Hoping to get a partial refund.
This was over priced for the quality. Drinks were very expensive. The top deck was not even open. There was only limited entertainment. We waited a long time after dinner. Maybe it’s better on the weekends but we felt like we were at a bad cruise ship wedding.
Long ways to pick up tickets if staying downtown. Show n food fabulous comfortable evening would go back
Very fun! Good food and great entertainment! Staff was very attentive and friendly! I would recommend this to everyone
