Experience the best of Chicago

The night started out rainy with more thunderstorms predicted and rough waves. The stage was set for a not so desirable evening. Once we boarded the ship out spirits were high and excited about celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. The food was good and most importantly the staff had amazing upbeat attitudes. As the boat was rocking on some rough waves some of the staff was dancing with the rock of the ship, it was smooth like some real movie scene type of vibe. During dinner the rain began and it cleared up just in time for the fireworks which we just splendid. The crew opened up the top deck as the fireworks began an all guest were able to take some stunning pictures of the skyline and the fireworks. We had a great t8me and recommend this cruise.

Tess was our guide and she was wonderful! Very informative and you can tell she loves what she does. The crew was professional and we had a wonderful smooth ride!

We did the cruise at sunset and got to see the beautiful sunset colors shining through. The different architecture and history was amazing, Dillon gave a very entertaining, knowledgeable historicalbackground of all the buildings.

PHENOMENAL!! And legit! Such an amazing experience, amazing food, SO romantic, staff and DJ were very kind! It honestly felt too good to be true at some moments, but it was an amazing experience and I would definitely do it again!

Overall, the boat cruise was a great experience\. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the scenery and atmosphere were beautiful\. Everything was set up nicely and had the potential to be an amazing time\. Unfortunately, the DJ completely ruined the vibe\. The music selection was terrible, there was no energy, and it never got the crowd engaged\. On a cruise like this, the DJ really sets the tone for the entire experience, and this one missed the mark\. If the cruise gets a new DJ, I would definitely recommend it\. Everything else was great, but the entertainment needs a major upgrade\.

The Chicago Architecture Cruise by First Lady was fascinating. Our docent was so knowledgeable about the history, engineering feats, and even some political reasons why and how these amazing skyscrapers were built. The "fun facts" were so intriguing. It is definitely worth your time. P.S. if you go on a sunny day, don't forget your sunscreen.....however if you do forget, they have some on-board to purchase!😉

It was a great easy ride around the city thanks to the captain. We liked how you timed the cruise so people could see the sunset just in time. Boarding was easy. The guide was informative but not intrusive in letting people enjoy the view to the nice music. It was a very pleasant experience and I will recommend to anyone I know who is visiting Chicago. It was truly the highlight of my visit.

This tour covered a lot more buildings than I though it would, it felt as though the guide had something to say about nearly every building we passed. For 45 minutes, the guide, who did speak pretty quickly, was able to fit in so much information! I also appreciate the sense of humor with which the tour was given; this and other factors made it so that you didn't at any point feel like you were being lectured at and want to zone out. I was engaged the whole time. One of the best parts was heading closer to the mouth of the river and being shown such a scenic view of the city, this was beautiful! Though I would consider doing a longer cruise because I would have loved to learn more, this is very worthwhile in and of itself and especially if you only have (exactly) 45 minutes.
