The Chicago Dinner Cruise was the perfect way to end celebrating our anniversary!!! Everything was nice. I did have to retrieve my tickets from the ticket box, but that was nothing. Once we got on the boat everything was so pretty and neat. We were escorted to our table and had the best waitress named Lauren. She gave her recommendation when asked and they did not fail. She recommended the Salmon and it was great!! Actually all of the food was great and well seasoned. The view outside of the boat was everything. We were celebrating our anniversary so the DJ came around and got our first dance song and when he played it we went to the dance floor and dance and was recognized!! So sweet!! This experience was definitely a 10 out of 10 highly recommend.

I was nervous waiting in line as I overheard a worker on the oddyssey say "we always have problems with people who purchase on headout" However, I did not encounter any problems whe retrieving my ticket. The staff was really nice and attentive. The Dj was the highlight for me. He played a good mix of music. The food was good but nothing to write home about. The weather was good so it made for a smooth, calming ride. I would recommend

Wonderful dinner cruise! Thank you to Dina and Angelica who made my birthday cruise truly magical. Seating for dinner was a little tight but once we disembarked we requested for window seating and lucky enough to make the waitlist and was definitely worth it the view. The top deck was vape and smoking friendly so we enjoyed our drinks while watching the sun set. We will most definitely sailing again with the Oddessy crew.
