Excellent service by the dinner crew but the dinner itself was average at best. The jazz band was good. The gift shop and the rest of the ship were neat. The captains tour descriptions were really interesting.

The instructions are not clear as to when you are eating dinner and when you need to board. We booked through TripAdvisor which did not give clear instructions that dinner was served at 6:00. Luckily I went to the actual event website and saw that even though the cruise is scheduled for 7:00 they start serving dinner at 6:00 and we needed to be there at that time to get served. We arrived at 6:00 and were immediately seated for dinner. We were seated at a window but since we were in the dock we only had a view of the wooden post holding up the dock. The food was good, however we were rushed through our meal and they tried to take my plate while I still had food on it. They brought our dessert while we were still eating - it was ice cream so it melted before we were ready for it. We didn’t even leave the dock before we finished dinner. Once we were up on the upper deck we were able to enjoy the jazz band and the cruise. The 2 hour cruise was nice and very informative about where we were. The sunset was beautiful. All in all it was a good experience but i would skip the dinner and just pay for the cruise.

We regret the service glitches you encountered for dinner. The information on Viator will be reviewed to be sure it is clear on the boarding and dining times.
