B
Not a Luxury Experience
It is advertised as a luxury sunset dinner cruise, and it’s not. There’s nothing luxurious about it. Everything is very mid. The boat is showing its age and the lighting is harsh. The food and service were ok/average. Not horrible., but nothing said “luxury” to me. The should just advertise it as a sunset dinner cruise. The boat’s air conditioning did not work. They had three large portable air conditioners set up in the dining rooms, but they could not keep up. It was hot.

Definitely Give It A Try
Glad I found this last minute for date night. The views were incredible and the 3 course meal did not disappoint us at all! The experience overall interacting with other guests and the workers topped it off. The money is definitely worth it!!!

Not a fan of the she crab...
Not a fan of the she crab soup but the rest of the meal was amazing. The beef ribs were very tender and tasty. The chicken was also good. Suggest offering more than one soup option for those who are not seafood fans. The staff was attentive, and the entertainment was good. The weather was really cloudy, so didn’t get to experience the sunset, but obviously not the fault of the cruise staff.
