Dinner Cruise Portland

We didn't expect such good food on a river ship hauling 300 people, but were very pleasantly surprised. The trip was well organized, the crew - including wait staff to captain - were friendly, attentive and skilled. It did get dark halfway through, so our advice would be to go in mid-summer when days are longer. And the 6:30 boarding time? Get there a bit earlier and avoid the crowd. All in all, an excellent trip.

Great Gift

We got this as a gift and we loved it. The service was amazing. The entertainment was great, but not so overpowering we couldn't have a conversation. The only downside was that it would have been nice to have more dinner options.

Enjoyable cruise. Servers pleasant but not enough of them to handle requests. Steak knives were very dull.

Great

This is a great dinner cruise, the food was great. Great sight seeing spots, and the ship is the best place to see the sunset from took us out to see the sunset. The cruise also had live band and a dance floor. You can walk about the deck and enjoy the view and the nice breeze. Staff was awesome too, got treated better than dining in a restaurant. For the price you get a full course dinner... from appetizer to desert.
