Disappointed in quality

Sarah_M, Jun 2026

The food was terrible and the music was super loud to the point I couldn’t hear my sister. The service was amazing and the crew was professional, none of this reflects in any way on them. Overall the experience was more like what I would expect if I spent $40, not over $100.

Catered to a private event

Selena_G, Jun 2026

When we got on the boat we quickly realized that 90% of the people weren’t speaking English, ok no big deal just thought it unusual. After a few minutes of extremely rude and unapologetic Polish people we realized it was an organized charity event for this extremely large group. Passengers not a part of this group had a hard time getting drinks or food because these people acted soo entitled. They would cut in line in front of you or bump you while passing and never say excuse me! Dominated everything about this cruise. They played Polish music, had raffles and games for this group. While the passengers that were not a part of the group were just shuffled to the side. Was an absolutely horrible experience. We picked the more expensive trip just thinking maybe it would be a little more enjoyable. Boy were we wrong. By the end of the trip which was supposed to be about 2 hours ended up lasting almost 4! Why in the world would you let regular passengers book when 90% of the people on the boat was a private event????!!!! Definitely take one of the other cruises from a different company. Maybe they will appreciate EVERYONE! The people that weren’t apart of the private event probably paid way more for the excursion only to be treated very poorly. By the end of the trip most of the private party were so drunk and belligerent I had to shove 1 man away from me! Very dissatisfied!

So-So Lake Brunch

Linda_C, Apr 2026

Food was very mediocre. Low value experience for money even at today’s inflated prices. Viator instructions to get to boat were very poor-even gave us wrong boat name.

Delicious, courteous, and personalized.

James_P, May 2025

ALL of the staff were very polite, seemed truly interested in making the occasion personalized, and meeting our every need. The food was delicious, the DJ was able to play our requests, and the facilities were clean and obviously care for very well. No complaints at all!
