Let start off by saying I’m a find the silver lining in any situation type of person I really don’t like to complain. This date started out bad and got worse thru out the night to point it started to drag on and my date wanted to just get off boat. We bored got seated waiter told us give her a min we waited awhile trying to order appetizers to be informed it’s to late as the boat was pulling away so ok we put in an order for drinks which took longer then the app. Wait while ppl seated next to use got their first and second round of drinks. Finally drinks came shortly after we was told we could head to buffet while in line a big spider lands on my date who is deathly afraid of bugs I keep her calm much as I could. To make it up to the buffet to over heated salmon street corn dry chicken thighs only was able to eat salads. After that we was told we could go top side for games only to find a foosball table with no lighting after walking thru a cloud of bugs which ended up in both our drinks go to sit down because at this point my date is having a panic attack only to sit down on a chair with no less then 5 huge spiders on it in different places at this point she was over the whole date very upset as this was a birthday gift I had to go find a back corner of the boat clean away and inspect for spiders which I discovered was literally everywhere so we sat in this one spot the remainder of trip which seemed like forever this was about when fireworks started one they concluded I asked if she would like to go in to try desert we went in to get desert but our table had been cleared of all flat wear so she sat looking a a piece of cake for bout 30 mins waiting on a fork till she just dint want it put on table next to us and just sat till ride was over I couldn’t do nothing but apologize and we drove from Minnesota for this date night

Everything was fantastic. The food delicious, the fireworks out of this world, the varied music accommodating everyone, the dancing was fun, the ride itself was soothing, the Chicago sites are beautiful, the employees were gracious and made sure we were taken care of. I will definitely do this again. Thank you so very very much.
