Average Rating: 5 stars out of 5
Lunch Cruise

The cruise was everything we expected. It was an enjoyable day, our 61st anniversary. Our only regret was that we couldn't dance to the entertaining music. I had fallen that morning on my driveway and was hurting. It was still a good day.

Review

The experience was really nice. Only drawback was that we were seated right by the DJ,so we could not talk to each other. We missed the entertainment because we had to go to the deck,to get away from the noise level. Will not stop us from doing it again. We enjoyed the food, service was great and the cruise was lovely.
