We had a great time on this cruise. Food was very good and we were able to board and eat right away. After that we were able to move around to different areas of the cruise ship. Staff were friendly, and the captain kept us entertained with information about the area, wildlife, and some fun stories. We would do it again, probably try the evening cruise next time to see what it has to offer.

I feel the experience was average. I definitely won’t say it was horrible but I cannot honestly say it was exceptional. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best. I would say the buffet was a 4/5

The crew were great and good food . Good to do during the week more personal experience. Had a really good time

I bought it last minute the night before and I don’t regret it. I was able to go find a boat easily and get on fast. The captain was super nice and taking photos of people in front for them. The whole crew was awesome. The server even got me chicken without any sauce on it because I didn’t really care for any of the food because I’m so picky but everyone else seemed to love that it looked like a great selection.
The only bad thing I would say is that it’d be cool if they would post the buffet items on line so people know what they’re getting. But the Keylime pie was great five dollars for a slice, but it was worth it.
Highly recommend going. The view of top was really nice.

Unfortunately, this was not a good experience. The entire place was extremely hot, including the restroom, which made it very uncomfortable. The food was also not tasty and definitely did not meet our expectations. I had a toddler with me who could not handle the heat and became very uncomfortable and fussy throughout our entire visit. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and I hope the temperature and food quality can be addressed.

The excursion was awesome! The buffet was delicious and plenty for seconds!! I truly recommend the Rum Punch😊
Marta_D, Aug 2026
The rum punch was very watered down. I could taste neither the rum nor the punch. Also, the selection of drinks is very limited. The buffet was okay
Rachel_N, Aug 2026
The buffet wasn't all that great, just didn't taste good. My sister and I are not drinkers, this would probably be a thing for people who like to drink for the unlimited part. We didn't see any dolphins, which was disappointing. I would have been ok if we at least saw dolphins.

Not as advertised. The “buffet” was limited, the high price was to pay for the “all you can drink” alcohol. I was not impressed. The view was pretty, but there was no “guide” as to what we were passing.
Sameer_L, Aug 2026
Well it’s a nice trip if u want to enjoy boat ride free drinks with some dj and some food friendly cruise staff
Rosangela_A, Aug 2026
It was a great experience! The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. Even though it rained, we still had a wonderful time. Overall, the atmosphere was fantastic, and I would definitely recommend it.
Tina_H, Aug 2026
Great value. $50/person for food and a two hour cruise is excellent. Not the fanciest food ever, but everything was tasty. The drinks were unlimited and there was a variety to choose from. Service was attentive and friendly. The music was lively and we were free to roam around the boat as we pleased. Seating is assigned so that there isn’t chaos. Definitely would recommend to anyone!

Alex_R, Jul 2026
The food was delicious, everything well organized. The music was good but I would like more dancing music like a party. I loved the experience and I will do it again.
Salimata_N, Jul 2026
The cruise was amazing. The crew on board was really nice and very hospitable. The only problem I’d say is at certain times the deck like the top deck does get full besides that it’s an amazing view and I really recommend for the price.
Nicole_S, Jul 2026
It was my birthday party.I had a blast. I always do every time I go. Second time, i've been with my family and I will keep coming back over and over

Curtis_A, Jul 2026
It's not what we expected. We didn't see any dolphins or any water animal. The buffet was small. We stood on the deck the entire time with people rudely pushing and cussing.
John_K, Jul 2026

To our family and friends
Danya_C, Jul 2026
Great experience~ the food was great and the service was good. You cant beat all that you get for the price! Only negative was the DJ working on July 8th on the 7:00 pm sunset cruise was very rude. hopefully he was just having a bad day....
Linda_S, Jul 2026
Our trip on the Calypso Queen was very pleasant. The buffet was good. What made the trip was the staff. Carlos the host was witty and personable.
Alexandra_V, Jul 2026
We had a great time and totally enjoyed the experience. Definitely recommend it and looking forward to do this cruise again. Friendly and welcoming staff, very organized buffet, the meal not bad at all I saw people getting up to repeat more food so that tells they liked it. My favorite was the fish fillet. I enjoyed it because after you finish eating you can go out to the balcony and enjoy the ride watching the beautiful sunset.
patsy_v, Jul 2026
The cruise was so fun for me and hubby!! Food was great and bar service was also good!! It was a lively experience!!
Janelle_S, Jul 2026
Music sucked, same song was replayed. Food was worst than microwave food. Watery rum punch, Zinfandel’s was okay, beer was nice and cold. Tables were to close together, but it was nice on the top deck. At least we were on a boat for 1.5 hours and the scene was beautiful. Staff was nice. Also parking code did not work.
Sheri_H, Jul 2026
The food was buffet quality. The rum punch was not so rum. I asked for a diet Pepsi, I got one then they were 'out of stock'. What? Didn't you know we were coming? The top deck was too full of people to enjoy.
BetsyA_M, Jul 2026
We enjoyed the dinner cruise. There was a variety of food which was very delicious. The atmosphere was beautiful.
