A Don't miss adventure!

This experience is definitely one not to miss! The food is not gourmet or fancy, but it is flavorful and good. The entertainment was awesome!! And the views of the lake and surroundings are wonderful!

Expect a great cruise . Do not expect good food.

Things started rough. Very slow boarding process as they tried to stop everyone trying to board making it seem mandatory to have a picture taken they could try to sell you later. When we finally boarded we were sat at our table and watched all The tables around us get drink orders in while we were literally ignored. We had to ask the head server for drinks when they finally started to dish out salads. We paid over $700 for (4) people and the dinner was awful quality. The after dinner portion being on the upper deck and simply cruising was spectacular and almost made up for the terrible dinner and service. Finally, big shout out to Joe the bartender. He really turned things around for us with his service post dinner.

nice, relaxing, casual attire. There are 2 shifts for dinner. I was charged extra for "premium seating", but there is no such a thing.

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.
