St. Croix Dinner Cruise

My husband and I had a great time on our dinner cruise this weekend! The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the atmosphere was nice, and the beef for dinner was especially delicious. Since we were seated at a table with other people we were apprehensive but walked away with new friends! I would recommend going on your cruise prior to October though as it gets dark just after the cruise starts so if you're hoping to see scenery it's not ideal at this time of year.

I was treated by my son and family to a dinner cruise for my birthday while on a visit from England. It was a delightful experience all round. The crew were exceptionally helpful and very child friendly to a lively 18 month old, weather was fine and fod nicley cooked and plentiful. I recommend it.

My husband and I had a delightful, relaxing evening aboard the Grand Duchess. The buffet dinner was delicious, and the service by the entire crew was superb from the moment we were greeted until the time we disembarked. The full moon rising over the river was a bonus I am sure they arranged just for us!
