Staff was ok, the food average. The cruise in itself is just a very slow and short float from the pier to approximately Millenium Park and back. I had expected to get a more comprehensive view of the city. The thing we disliked the most was the volume of the music that went constantly up, during the second hour it was basically like a floating disco dance -for the joy of all the kids. We didn’t expect it especially for a brunch cruise from 10 to 12pm, and had hoped to be able to enjoy calmly the views and the lake. If you still decide to go: from inside the pier there is no indication whatsoever of where to embark. It was pouring with rain on the day we took the cruise so there was no one of the many other tourists wanting to venture outside to look for the dock, all shops were still closed and guards gave us wrong indications. The pier is pretty long, so take your time. If you can choose, ask to be seated on the upper dock, which is less crowded and has less tables. Useless to pay extra for a window table there, views are the same as it is the music volume.

We cruised on a Tuesday which was offered at an amazing price. Good food, nice environment, fun entertainment, amazing views, attentive, friendly staff and more. The buffet was available the entire cruise offering a nice variety of food and dessert choices. The outdoor patio and deck area offered seating and tables with easy in/out access. Our birthday girl was served a special treat and we all were served a large cookie as we departed.
