Everything was wonderful 𤊠Very polite and attentive staff! The dishes were delicious and beautifully presented đ We are very satisfied! Thank you for your attention and a wonderful day âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸
Great service. Food was good too.
Supposed to last 3 hours, it lasted barely 2.5 hours. We went round in circles around Navy Pier. Drinks and extras were quite expensive. Average music. Luckily, our waitress was great and the atmosphere was very good with the other customers.
Perfect
Loved it. Jamal was terrific
I booked this lunch cruise as a surprise to celebrate my husbandâs birthday. It was not a cheap experience, so I had high hopesâbut unfortunately, it fell short in several ways. Prepaid Photos â Poor Handling: I paid for our photo package in advance to avoid dealing with it during the cruise. When it was time to receive the photos, I was asked to show my email confirmation (which I did), my boarding passes (also had them), and even proof of payment (thankfully I had printed it ahead of time). Despite providing everything, they claimed they couldn't find the confirmation and told us they'd âgiftâ us the photos. It was frustrating and insulting since I had already paid. That was not a giftâit was something I had purchased beforehand. Dress Code Was Ignored: My husband and I made a point to follow the dress code listed on their website. We dressed up expecting a semi-formal atmosphere. To our surprise, no one else onboard seemed to follow it.We felt out of place for having made the effort
Once on the boat, everything was perfect. But I have one complaint: that same day, July 6th, I received a confirmation email stating that the departure point was at the lake, so I went to the lake, spent money on Uber, and almost didn't make it to the river meeting point on time. I understand that two weeks ago they sent an email stating that the lake trip was being changed to the river option, but if I receive an email that same boarding day with other "updated" information, it's understood that this is the final indication. That bothered me a lot because we almost won't made it (we did have to grab another uber to go from the lake point to the river point) and the entire experience would have been lost.
A quick cruise, nowhere near the advertised 2½ to 3 hours, lasting barely 2 hours. The lunch was far from gourmet. The staff were not up to scratch. We followed the dress code to the letter, but that didn't stop other guests from coming in shorts and sneakers. Being born on July 4, I asked for a table near a window, but got nothing. The DJ was completely useless.
Food couldâve been a little warmer. The taste of the food was good. The bathroom had an odor. My birthday was celebrated on the cruise, I parted to the beautiful music and the DJ was great!
