    Great food and great music. The service was good but needed a little more employees to be great. Bring a jacket. It’s chilly inside the boat.

    My most memorable part of the brunch cruise was the food. They had real Chet’s cooking hot food. We had great food choices if you wanted breakfast or lunch. I tour and history of the ship yard was very educational, and the top deck after brunch was very nice.

    Everything overall from the staff and how they treat you to the food was exceptionally great. The entire experience was really amazing.

    Never again.

    Amiya_S, Jun 2024
    The cruise was boring being that I’m in the military, all they toured and showed were the same ships I see daily. This would be good for civilians maybe but definitely not me. Food was good but they call you by tables, the food gets gone fast and they only put out one dish of each entree so it’s not enough for seconds 👎🏽 Seats were terrible as well & drinks were not worth it

    Anniversary Cruise with my wife.

    James_W, May 2024
    Very good experience, first class operation with the crew and entire staff. Great food, and outstanding customer service. Customers feel important and appreciated and valued. Nice cruse and the overall customer experience was outstanding. Boat was very clean and well maintained. Customer felt appreciated. Highly recommend experiencing this Cruse to everyone in and around the Hampton Roads . Very good experience for families and celebrating special occasions.
