Pros: Well organized. Food choices & drinks were great and plentiful. Enjoyed the Jazz player & dancing on the deck. Cons: Dinner was served below deck while the sun was setting. I would have rather been on top deck to view the beautiful sunset. I wished the boat actually had sails to sail.

My husband and I went on the dinner cruise for NYE/ my birthday and had so much fun! The staff is so attentive and kept our drinks full. The saxophonist was good and we had time for dancing on the way back to the dock. The food was fine- they grilled on the deck so you could watch if you wanted to. The veggies were cold, but that may have been because it was so windy that they couldn’t keep them warm on the way to the table. You could eat inside, but we chose to stay outside even though it got cold. They provided blankets and it helped a lot. We bought the pictures from the photographer- a cute reminder of NYE. They did a great job accommodating both Spanish and English speakers. Thank you for a fun time!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hello Stacy Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for choosing to celebrate both New Year’s Eve and your birthday with us — we are truly honored to have been part of such a special occasion! We’re delighted to hear that you had a great time on the dinner cruise and that our team’s attentiveness, the live saxophonist, and the dancing on the return made the evening memorable. It’s also wonderful to know you enjoyed the atmosphere on deck, the blankets provided for comfort, and the photos as a keepsake of the night. We appreciate your understanding regarding the weather conditions, especially the wind, and your feedback about the food, which we will gladly share with our team for continued improvement. Thank you again for your kind words and for highlighting our efforts to accommodate both Spanish and English-speaking guests. We truly hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience in the future! Best regards

Not peaceful!

Traci_R, Oct 2024
They let 14 drunk men( not couples) be drunk and be obnoxious. It ruined the whole night! You could not hear the music over there drunk rambling. Waste of money!!

Worst experience

Alex_G, Feb 2024
I booked a romantic sunset dinner for two at Columbus. It was paid and I had the reservation number and the ticket too. We were ready to take off, but we were dealing with a rather unprofessional worker there. This stupid kid didn't let us get on the ship just because he didn't see the reservation number in his system. We talked to our Agency from Viator, he said no problem, he will refund the money, just buy the ticket there and we can board immediately. The captain said that there was no problem waiting for us, but this stupid kid gave him instructions that the ship could leave while we were talking to the agency on the phone together with this stupid kid, called Ivan. They ruined my fiancee's birthday and our whole night.. worst Birthday and situation in our life.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Sunset and Dinner

Lisa_M, Dec 2023
Wonderful! All you staff was amazing. Food was large portions. Saxophone player was wonderful. I highly recommend this to any couple.

Enjoyable time as a couple

Lisa_T, May 2023
Overall enjoyable experience. The saxophone player was really good and the host was good. The boat was very cute and the ambiance was excellent. Drinks were watered down so it’s pretty much impossible to get a buzz without ordering shots or glasses of wine. The food was good but not great so I wouldn’t really recommend the upgrade since it wasn’t the highlight.

Response from Host, May 2023

Dear Lisa_T, Thank you for your comments on our Romantic Sunset Dinner Cruising Experience. This experience provides definitely a romantic enviroment for couples, we are happy you and your significant other enjoyed yourselves on this ambiance.

Great experience with other couples, dinner was a decent fare, experience of dining on the water was what we paid for. Service was friendly and well facilitated.

Joyful and fun

Susan_R, Jan 2023
Sergio, our tour master, was fun and very accommodating to our needs. Our alcohol and non-alcohol drinks were all unlimited. They served big portion of dinner. All the crews were attentive. The saxophonist is good. The trip is on time as scheduled. The place is clean. We enjoy the night. Sergio encouraged us to celebrate the night without hesitant with other people. Just have fun. Thank you Sergio and the crew. The time was not wasted. I wished to attach pictures but I was having a problem. Maybe later.

It's just ok to spend time with your significant other, flavorless steak, frozen cheese cake, beer fountain. My wife loved the music and the environment.

Cruise not for me

Bonnie_S, Aug 2022
I was disappointed to be charged an unanticipated fee before boarding the boat. Additionally the wait time from time recommended we arrive was far too long and unnecessary. The cruise was enjoyable but when it began raining we were all packed below like sardines

Response from Host, May 2023

Dear Bonnie_S Thank your for reviewing our Romantic Sunset Dinner Experience. We appreciate your feedback. The Dock Fee is mentioned both in the Product Page of this activity and we remind our guests of it when the Booking Details are sent. We are sorry to hear about the rain, but luckily, we were able to accomodate everyone down in the dinind room away from the drizzle. Hasta Pronto! The Travel Experience Group

The Love Boat

Marquesia_A, Aug 2022
Could do better with drinks my coke was completely watered down. Should include asking the wellness of the steak mine still had blood in some areas 🤮 it was seasoned though the part I did get to enjoy. I’d definitely do again. The host was amazing. Even if you had a prior argument after him there’s no way you’d still be upset with your partner. Great experience.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Dear Marquesia, Thank you very much for writing us a review at: Romantic Sunset Dinner Cruising Experience. Every comment counts We are very sorry for the incident that happened with your drinks and your steak, normally everything is under supervision and well seasoned Please contact us when you visit this magical place again, we promise to pamper you and serve you as you really deserve.

Being Hustled at SEA

tiffanyrena_w, Dec 2021
I booked this cruise under the pretense that I was getting the boat and experience outlined. For my 50th bday with 3 other couples we didn't get a sunset cruise as a matter of fact the boat that was on the brochure was broken and had been out of sail for weeks/months prior to my trip. They sent a replacement that was no comparison. Expecting a romantic sunset cruise. We did not leave until after sunset. It was not the image I expected sharing with my loved ones or turning 50. There was no apology or empathy. I would not take this tour again.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Dear Tiffanyrena_w, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. At Cancun Travel Experience we believe that the only way to improve is by listening to our valued customers feedback.

Pleasant evening but food could be better.

Carrie_F, Dec 2021
Pros: staff was great, friendly, excellent service. Boat ride was very pleasant. Nice views, etc. Dessert was good. Live saxophone player was nice. Cons: was told to arrive at 5pm for 5:30pm departure. We didn't actually start boarding until 6:15pm or so, missing about 75% of the actual sunset. Food was cooked decently, but very bland. No seasoning or sauce on anything. (We had shrimp skewers, steak, mixed veg and half a potato) A good time all things considered, but a bit over priced.

Excellent!

Marty_J, Jul 2021
The boat “Columbus” is a beauty. The view, especially the sunset, was breathtaking and the crew members were excellent! Kudos!
