We were here from out of town. We had trouble locating the boat. Then after passing close to $300 for 2 people we also had to pay 37.00 to park. Then we also had an additional $100 bar tab. The whole point of going on this cruise for us was to see the Chicago skyline. When we went out side there was no seating. I don't mind paying if the experience is worth what I'm paying for. The positives were the food was very good and the wait staff was awesome. I would say more direction needs to be provided maybe a parking voucher and some outdoor seating.

Overall, seeing Chicago from the water was amazing! I felt 2 1/2 hours was too long for a dinner for 2, we were freezing, guess we didn't expect it to be that cold inside the boat and would have dressed warmer. However, the experience was amazing, the service was amazing, views were amazing!

so i gave 1 star because there’s no “0” to review this place.. so first of all this booking it was to celebrate 10year of marriage and 2 days before they cancelled and send me like 4 emails that i didn’t even get to see because on the app says everything was good.. so we booked a hotel on the “sable” navy pier so we can be there.. you guys ruined our celebration and it’s not fun , just got my money back and that’s it orrible experience, don’t book in this place please

Food was marginal. Service was good. Directions were poor, no details as to boat name. Crew was very nice and professional. Rough waters. (Not their fault but made trip unpleasant.) Disappointing overall as we were cancelled at the last minute for a sit down dinner cruise and had to settle for this buffet style cruise.

the cruise lasted only 1.5 hours. at 6.15 we left and at 7.50 we were at the port. the food was not tasty, our waitress came to us only once. The drink cost $20 and it didn't even taste like alcohol. the waiters next to us threw whole sheets of food into a garbage bag, he accidentally dropped the whole sheet with sauce everything was dirty. Very little choice to eat, cruise worth $50 max, not recommended.

The food was delicious and the service is good. Desserts are too sweet. The main problem: We are tourists who come to Chicago from other state. After booking the boat tickets online, we found that the meeting point was not clear, and we couldn't find the name of the boat. We searched back and forth at the pier several times. Spent our almost an hour to find the name of the cruise ship. Fortunately, we arrived early, otherwise we would not be able to catch the boat. What's more, it was supposed to end at 9 o'clock, but it ended at 8 o'clock. my suggestion, after the tickets booked, the visitor should receive an email and notified the name of the boat for that certain day.
