“It was a complete false advertising scam! We paid for a Luxury Sunset Dinner Cruise, but what we got was wannabe party dinner. I did extensive research before booking as it was supposed to be a relaxing dinner cruise for my mother in law’s 70th birthday. All the information and pictures in the website describing this cruise were completely wrong! We were supposed to have live music, instead it was loud, thumping party music from a DJ the WHOLE time! We couldn’t even talk to each other or hear the waiters. We were even told that if it was too loud we could go below deck. We tried going downstairs,…”

We had so much fun dancing to the music as the sky became dark. A night to remember.”

“One of the food servers at the buffet was very rude, the boat was very crowded for how big it was and not as organized as I thought it would be. The only fun part about this cruise was the last 30 min when the staff and guest danced. Would not booked this again, for how much we paid for it was not worth it.”
