The staff was great. We were not able to go the normal route due to high water levels making it unsafe to go under the bridges to Georgetown. Our route wasn't very scenic hence the bulk of my disappointment. The food was alright but not noteworthy.
My wife and I took this cruise for our 15th anniversary. We boarded the ship and were escorted to out table. The table was our own, but we were about two feet from the table to our right and left. The server immediately greeted us and was very friendly. The service and food was very good, but the pace was not. It took 30 minutes for us to get our drinks and we got dessert two and a half hours into the three hour trip. We really enjoyed the outside deck, but the views of the monuments were from a great distance and we only got to see the Washington monument and the Capitol. I feel like they oversold that part of the trip. The music was very good, but it was hard to have a conversation because it was loud. Overall, this cruise is worth doing because the food is very good, the crew was very friendly, and sitting outside was relaxing and romantic.
Very expensive, but the food and entertainment were wonderful.
