The buffet was plentiful and delicious. There’s something for everyone. Drinks from the bar were overpriced, overall the ship was clean. Tables are too close together and wait staff bump diners as they walk by. After dinner the DJ encouraged people to get up and dance. In the beginning it was fun but then the music changed to old line style dances geared to 14 year olds. Would have been nice to hear more diverse music that everyone could enjoy. While we were glad for the experience we wouldn’t go again.

I traveled to DC from Texas for my Birthday (solo) decided to take the lunch cruise. When I say it was absolutely fabulous. The energy , the music, staff and DJ . All ages , races etc . Everyone was dancing , the food was really good. It can be a romantic luncheon , girls day out, family fun, whatever you want it to be . The staff was so attentive and fun .
