Bring a jacket, because if you are going with a woman who is wearing a dress she will be cold. Plan this according to weather.
The food was decent the dj and the other guest were a good time went on a date and we both had a blast
This was a nice way to see the harbor side of DC, the historical fort and all the river. We had an evening thunderstorm which cut short the trip, but the breeze was nice on a hot day
Nice staff and travelers. Good food, nice view of the water and music you enjoy listening to and dancing too.
When I made the reservation I used your service at that time I couldn’t download the tickets because my browser( Safari) wouldn’t let me so I contacted your customer service department, the gentleman I spoke with was polite and patient he explained to me on what to do. I will definitely use your service again.
Music was so loud you couldn’t speak with those who were at your table.
The food was decent but we did not see any major landmarks. This was not something that I would recommend if you are trying to see Washington DC. This was very overpriced for what it is. The staff are very helpful and made the experience great but without them it was not worth it.
We booked the river cruise for the special 4th of July fireworks viewing dinner. The ship was very nice, the decor for the occasion was perfect, the d j and the music was very good. This is where the good stopped. We were a party of nine and booked the highest level for that evening. We were each charged $605. It included drinks, dinner, dancing and the viewing of the spectacular fireworks show at a close distance. Plus the viewing of the monuments illuminated at night. The service was very slow and very inexperienced. The entrees , were of so poor quality that none of us could eat them. They took so long to clear our table after we were finished that two of our guests had to clear it themselves and place the dirty dishes on a side table that was nearby. The rain delayed the fireworks by a couple of hours. Just when they were about to start, we were told that the boat was going to dock and we could see them from the outside of the boat by the railing. Or we could get off the boat and see them from the dock. At this point we were really far away from the fireworks, there were several other boats that interfered with our viewing. We hardly saw them from the distance with interference. We never received the experience that we were promised. By the way, other than the obelisk from the distance, we never viewed any of the monuments. Very disappointing, extremely costly experience.
It's not just laid back and quiet. It's a party on the river with a decent meal. That's the one improvement is a little better meats.
the person checking us in was rude because I asked her if the AC was going to be better. she asked why I a would ask that. well we stood in the hot sun and then had to stand in line inside the boat and everyone was hot and fanning including get people already seated. when we were seated upstairs it was cool so I suspect teh AC s=was not tuned on early engouh to have the boat cooled before seating began. the other person seems to have trouble e understanding my s wife who speaks clearly she had to ask three times how to spell our name an dbtothc h=t it up badly and could not find th reservation E D S A L L is th espelling even when we sat dE as in Edward D as in David w she had trouble and gave us a very dirty look like we wer at fault. we do not have an accent. the food was good . the trip was ok but I expected a better view of Washington DC. I I di not realize you could not get close beach of the bridges. we went up and down the same small section of the river three times. Could d we have gone south as well? drink was out of Saoogy dollar spiced rim and I was the first to order a drink so you Abdul have what the menu shows.
