Fun Dancing
Live DJ and fun dancing. Started around 8:15. Had music in the dining area but unless you bought the food package you could not go in. Needed a little bit more seating for those not dining but all and all fun::)

Dancing dinning
First of all get dinner with cruise. If you’re sitting outside and it rains you cannot go in. Dinner is a must then go on the dance floor. It’s not for everyone not much to see more of a fine dining experience with a great dance floor.

Hello Martin, thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed the evening, the dining experience and the dance floor. Thank you as well for sharing your observations with future guests.

Service no bueno music fun
The first part of this cruise was horrendous. We had a server who was experiencing their first day on the job. It took my group an hour to receive any attention or to be asked how we were doing. Then finally after 2 attempts of ordering we were able to put an order in. It ended up being another server who had to take over the entire deck. Definitely not pleased with the service. The second half (the actual dancing) was quite fun. Just wish the food service matched the music.
Operator response
Hello, thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that the service at the beginning of the cruise did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait so long before receiving assistance. We’re glad that the atmosphere and music helped make the second half of your evening more enjoyable. Your feedback is appreciated.

A Wonderful Evening
The ship was very nice, the servers were fantastic, the DJ had a great selection of music. It was a drizzly night (on & off) but we were able to enjoy the scenery of the St Lawrence. I would highly recommend.

didn't get a seat, but amazing fireworks
We thought we were there in time, but the gathering space had winding line, and by the time we made the long walk to the boat, there was not a seat to be had. The best fireworks display we've ever seen, thought you are still a ways away. The music seemed like American pop, but being we don't speak French, was good for us.
Operator response
Hello, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand that the arrival and boarding required some patience, and we appreciate your understanding. We’re glad the fireworks view from the river and the onboard musical atmosphere helped make the evening special. Watching the show from the St. Lawrence is a unique perspective, and we’re happy it stood out as a highlight of your time with us. We hope to welcome you aboard again.

Avoid!
We were 14 friends together for the evening. Really disappointed. The vessel remained docked due to the freezing of the river for the Christmas cruise on the river in red ribbon version on 13 December. Good meal, but no more. Significant condensation of the structure that dripped into the plates and onto us. Air conditioners and heaters dripped on our tables. The polythenes persuaded the windows completely fogged. Limited parking at $30. Being the last evening, very limited in drink offered on board. So much so that the waitress has to correct our choices that was included with the meal. No Perrier water because no refueling. Clean that leaves something to be desired. The ship needs love. So, too expensive for what was offered. Lots of excuses and little compensation. Except for a free 1.5 hour cruise without meals in 2026 that must hope to receive one day. Customer service not very empathetic.
To avoid for the price!

Service was terrible
The service was poor, the wait staff was not attentive at all. They forgot about our food multiple times and it took forever to get our drinks. The food was also sub par, Other than that we made our own fun dancing outside with the DJ.

Awesome cruise party
Great boat good music great time to set off with tw sunset views of the city. Especially being on the roof. There are certain angles that you see of the city. You really shouldn't put down your phone or camera until a half hour into embarking. Once you get past the industrial stuff you could probably put down the camera and get ready for the party.
Operator response
Hello,
We’re glad you enjoyed the cruise, especially the sunset views from the upper deck and the unique perspectives of the city. It’s great to hear that the atmosphere and music added to the experience. We look forward to welcoming you again soon for another fun outing on the water!

False advertising
I’m a returning client ,always satisfied 👍 I’ve taken AML cruise every year to watch the fireworks .This year I decided to take the shorter AML cruise to see the fireworks .I booked 8 tickets for my family and costed me 650$ .. to my surprise when we all got there it was not AML cruise but a small navette which we were trapped inside trying to look out through a small port window.I couldn’t understand ,I thought I was on the wrong cruise but they confirmed that this was our cruise .. I’m not the type to complain but it was definitely not worth the price . If I would of known I would of paid 300$ more and went on the 4 hour cruise, there was no indication when I booked on the cruise web site of AML . Basically we were on the navette that brings you from Jean Drapeau to the old port which usually costs 6$ it’s a transportation ferry and I was charged 85$ a person . When reaching out to
Customer service , they basically said there is a no refund policy and they were sorry for the misunderstanding and that if we would of called our reservation department they would of told me that it was a navette / ferry .. ⛴️
Please read the fine prints people🚢I believe it was false advertising 😞
