We all had an absolutely amazing time. The whole cruise was a lot of fun. There cast walked around and chatted with us, and the food/tea were great. Would definitely do this again.
This was a truly delightful experience for families. The setting was so clean and set up beautifully, the staff were exceptional and professional and the food was very good with all of the expectations of a high tea present, including a wonderful cucumber sandwich! The Queen graced the tea with her presence and her entourage as well. This was well worth the drive from Lakeland!
A little disappointing, the servers were not in the spirit of the tea and were harried. The tea which should be served first was late in coming as only one person was handing out tea bags. It was challenging getting more hot water. The food was sub par and not worth the cost of the trip. Would not recommend. It would have been nice for the “entertainers” to announce how the service would be done.
I loved everything about this experience. I will definitely do it again
It as a lovely day to be on the river. The staff was very attentive. The specialty drinks were awesome. They did use tea bags instead of loose leaf tea. Starting in May they will be having afternoon tea cruises every Friday.
We truly enjoyed our Alice in Wonderland tea. The characters interacting with us was so much. The boat is well maintained and all the little details for the tea and decor were beyond expectations. Food was great and so was the service. Everyone was so cheerful and kind. Can't wait to go again.
We had a wonderful time on the Barbara Lee for Jane Austen's 250th Birthday Tea Party. The trip on the paddle wheel boat was so fun. The tea service was great. I got to try about 8 or 9 tea types and the scones ,tea sandwiches , especially the cucumber ones,and sweet treats were yummy. Angie and Sydney(like Australia lol) were so attentive in taking care of our needs and questions. We had a wonderful time and will definitely return for more teas and other cruises. Rick was great making sure we got on and off safely. What a great crew and a Marvelous time. Thanks
I want to send a special shout out to Dee!! Who made our cruise a wonderful experience. Dee was funny, silly and ready to get down and boogie with us! The food was great and the sail was smooth. I will definitely be back to have enjoy a different theme.
