I had an amazing time on the tropical cruise! The views were stunning, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The buffet was a highlight — so many delicious options with fresh tropical flavors, and everything was well-prepared. It was the perfect mix of adventure and comfort. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy great food at sea!

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.

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....

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.

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.

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.

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.

We enjoyed the dinner cruise. There was a variety of food which was very delicious. The atmosphere was beautiful.

The crew was amazing. Food was good. Loved the tour. Had a wonderful experience. You should definitely try it
Donna_O, Jul 2026
The buffet was okay, except the chicken, which lacked flavor. Pulled pork was good. There was NO commentary at all, which was disappointing. The boat moved at a slow speed and never really made it to open waters. The music on the upper deck was too soft to inspire dancing.
Becky_F, Jul 2026
This is one of the best experiences I have encountered while in Flordia
The staff super friendly nice and professional.
The DJ was amazing with all the music he played
I really think everyone on our cruise had an enjoyable time.
Food was really good of course we had not eaten all day till our sunset cruise so the food was delicious and the drinks
I would highly recommend this cruise

Parking fee is not covered
Parking Code from starlite does not work
No military or senior discount
Cashiers are unable, unfriendly, and unqualified to resolve anything... 😞

My husband and I had an absolute blast on the Calypso Queen dinner cruise. The drinks were strong enough to make you wonder if the bartender was trying to start the party early — and honestly, it worked. The views from the boat were beautiful the whole time, like the water was showing off just for us.The DJ kept the music going all night, and the vibe was chef’s kiss perfect — fun, breezy, and exactly the kind of energy you want when you’re out on the water with your favorite person. We laughed, danced a little, and soaked up every minute. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a night that feels like vacation mode turned all the way up.

Need to know to get tickets at booth first before ride. Tables were ready for us with a nice buffet. Dj and dancing was fun.

It was fun!!🤩

We celebrated two of our teacher friends retirement with a large group. Buffet was delicious, Service was great, Sunset was spectacular, and the Views were stunning even more so at night with all the lights on the shoreline, and being able to see the fireworks in the distance.
Blake_G, Jun 2026
Staff were very professional and polite. We saw several groups of dolphins from the viewing deck after our buffet meal. Food was really good
Lisa_O, Jun 2026
The food was excellent and drinks were name brands. Service was also good, tables could’ve been placed a bit more apart though. Hard to get in and out. I was double charged by Viator and am requesting a credit back to my card. Apparently I put one on hold and when I went to charge it it took out for 2 instead of one.
Sam_B, Jun 2026
Views were stunning…. So I would say it was worth it. However the food was the worst food we had all vacation, and the staff acted like we were an inconvenience when we would ask for more drinks.

Courtni_J, Jun 2026
4/5 stars only because I didn’t like the music and they didn’t have dessert. Food and drinks were great tho.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I celebrated my birthday on the Calypso Breeze, and I had an amazing time! The atmosphere was fantastic, the staff was friendly and attentive, and everything was well organized. The food was delicious with plenty of options, and the buffet exceeded my expectations.
The highlight of the evening was definitely the music and dancing. I had so much fun at the dance party and enjoyed every minute of it. It was the perfect way to celebrate my special day with great food, great entertainment, and beautiful views.
I highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a fun and memorable experience. I can’t wait to come back! 🎉🚢💃🎂✨

the boat is old but nice. The only things was de AC, feel hot. The food was not amazing but is aceptable
Brittani_S, Jun 2026
Low budget food and boat not kept up . AC not working on 2nd floor ! Would NOT recommend.
Buffet food did not look nor taste good and consisted of less than 15 items (salad, fruit, pasta, potato salad , bread rolls , fish ) . Drink cups looked nasty and not clean. My family ate when we left the boat .
Boat was not kept up at all. Windows dirty , spots and stains all over the boat. . Looked like it lacked basic cleaning . Everything was out dated .
AC was not working on my family floor(2nd floor) it was 90 degrees and we had my 2 year old and I’m 7 months pregnant . Horrible experience.
Overall don’t waist your money . This was more of a nightmare than a nice experience. I took my husband on kids on Fathers Day and regret it . A waist of time and money
Maxine_W, Jun 2026
Nice people, good vibes and food and drinks were good as well. The view from the top of the boat was really nice.
Tena_C, Jun 2026
Fun time. Good food choices for vegetarians, which I was worried about. Super fun music! Worth the price for sure!
