CoupleVerified bookingApr 20263/5Overall, the cruise was good. The wine was lovely and so was the food. It was just chaotic with a wedding and bridal party and we struggled to hear the guide.MMirian G
FamilyVerified bookingApr 20263/5Everything was great, but it wasn't exactly a nighttime spot—it was starting to get dark by the time we arrived. Other than that, everything was fine: the service, the appetizer they serve, and the wine.PPatricia C
