Must be on time. Nice ride mimosas good and great price. Wish they served food but drinks and music was good.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for the great review! We are so glad you joined us for Sunday Funday and enjoyed the skyline views, the music, and the mimosas. You are spot on about being on time—our cruises run on a strict schedule so everyone gets their full time on the water! While we don't serve meals on this particular cruise, we appreciate the feedback and are happy the drinks and music kept the good vibes going. We hope to welcome you back on board soon!

The boatride was ok not...

Michael_G, Sep 2025
The boatride was ok not sure I would do it again. Only one bar was open due to the low number of passengers. More communication from the crew would have been nice. The ride outside the locks was shorter expected (30min) The bartender ran out of bloody mary mix. Mimosa cups were small. The small crowd of people were friendly! The boat was not decorated in tiki garb and island music was not played.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. While we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the friendly crowd on board, we’re truly sorry to learn that other parts of your experience did not meet expectations. Because this was a smaller cruise, only one bar was staffed, but we understand how that may have felt limiting, especially when the Bloody Mary mix ran out. We’ll be addressing this with our team to ensure better preparation and communication moving forward. As for the music and décor, our cruises are designed to deliver a fun, tropical, island-inspired atmosphere, so we regret if this wasn’t reflected during your trip. We’ll certainly use your comments to improve consistency across all cruises. We appreciate your honest review and hope you’ll consider joining us again to experience the vibrant tiki vibe and full hospitality we’re known for. – The Island Party Boat Team
