We purchased the premium...

We purchased the premium window seat and were denied that seat because they oversold it. The air conditioning broke down which left us in the middle of a hot room packed with people. The service was poor also. We watched everyone next to us get served their second drinks and my husband was still waiting on his first. We asked for more rolls and were told they were out of them and the table next to us got three rounds of rolls. Luckily Tahoe is so beautiful that the view made up for the lack of service.

Poor starting experience but turned into a wonderful trip once on boat

We booked the premium experience but Viator only paid the vendor for the standard trip. I was charged the Premium price on my card. and when we arrived we were not seated at the appropriate seating area. I was shown what Viator paid for. Once we were taken care of by the vendor the trip was well worth the experience and everyone loved it. Food is well worth the price and scenery is fantastic. Wouldnt book again with Viator though

Fire the band

The cruise and staff were wonderful. The food not so much. The so-called band was horrific. If I had earplugs, I would have used them. My entire family concurs, as did several of the other people on board. My steak was so tough I couldn’t cut it. The staff apologized and replaced it with chicken. The salad smelled so strongly of vinegar I refused it. The cheesecake was very good. This was our second cruise. Two years ago, it was a better experience.

Dinner cruise

The food was delicious but it was so noisy in the dining room, we couldn’t hear each other. I was disappointed that we didn’t actually see the sun set

The good and the bad.

The crew and the cruise were great. My steak was so tough I couldn’t cut it, so the staff apologized and replaced it with chicken. The salad smelled so strongly of vinegar, I refused it. The cheesecake was very good. The absolute worst part of the experience was the “band”. They nearly made my eardrums bleed!! They got worse as the evening wore on, and we were amazed that the cruise retains them. I would strongly recommend a replacement for the “band”. Elevator music would be an improvement.
