My husband and I were amazed when we walked onto the ship. The dining room was so elegant. The staff was so friendly and the upgraded filet and prawns was a great choice. The cruise and city lights were beautiful! I would highly recommend this dinner cruise!

The food was really but not the dessert, you should have options like chocolate cake instead of cheesecake.
Stephen_C, Apr 2026
It was fun and the food was ok. My recommendation: Take your favorite bottle of wine and pay the corkage fee because the wine selection is limited. But the staff were very nice and welcoming and it was well organized and managed. We enjoyed it. We may do the brunch version next time.
Frances_M, Apr 2026
The servers were great and that the food was absolutely delicious. My only critique would be that the restrooms were downstairs.
Lonnie_D, Apr 2026
The smell of sewage was so bad that we couldn’t eat our dinner. We had to sit outside the entire time.
Kenneth_N, Apr 2026
Cruise Ship was on time and we organize. Meal was good, portion size was good and rhe service team was excellent.
Sherron_C, Apr 2026
Food was mediocre in flavor and cold. The vegan option was not good at all. Staff seemed to not know about nut allergies of one in party. Server was fantastic. DJ was ok and overall experience was memorable but not worth the money.
Chris_M, Apr 2026
The boat was very nice. The table set up was efficient and not too crowded. The food was excellent and our waiter was top notch. We would go again anytime.
Charles_H, Apr 2026

My husband and I had a really nice night celebrating our anniversary on this dinner cruise. Since we were celebrating our 15th I requested a window seat and they were able to accommodate which was very nice. We were greeted with champagne and the servers were all very prompt and we received great service. Overall was a very great night.
Monica_G, Mar 2026
The staff was great and good atmosphere. Good for a date night. Food was ok wish it could have been a bit longer.

There was a problem with the bar and they brought three people to stand at the table. Because we were black she only let the Mexicana talk to us but had all three ppl stand over ON TOP of us And it’s no shade but you could feel the aggression from them. The food was so terrible. No season no nothing that was there worst food in my life. I wouldn’t even feed the that to my dog. Only two people who even had good energy & inviting energy was Cesar and the dj with amazing curls. The rest of the people SUCKED you could feel the micro aggression from the rest of the people. At the end of the day shout out to Cesar for an amazing energy and vibrant soul. He would definitely prosper elsewhere !

Its a lot of fun, the food was only ok, but the cheese cake was horrible and the topping was the worst ever! Overall it was a nice experience.

Very attentive waiter, friendly staff. Petty night views of San Diego harbor. Food was good but served lukewarm but definitely not the fault of our waiter-he was great! Kinda noisy in dining room as we were seated between two large parties celebrating special occasions
Carolyn_W, Mar 2026
Worth every penny! Dinner was good served was fantastic! Dj was amazing! I will say the surf addition was not worth the extra money.
Jared_G, Feb 2026
Had a fun time. Food was great.
There was a large group dining that was very loud making it difficult for us to hold a conversation.
After dinner went on the top deck and enjoyed the view and it was quiet so we could visit.
Dennis_W, Feb 2026
Food, service and atmosphere were excellent. Would advise this for any special occasion! Beautiful views!
Ximena_S, Feb 2026
I won’t say we had a bad time because it was great & our server was wonderful, however, the food was cold.
For the price, I think the bare minimum should be a hot meal & soft bread.
Still had a great night, I’d consider doing the brunch version but with lower expectations of the food.
Fun concept & definitely don’t regret my purchase.
Randy_O, Feb 2026
It's dark so you cannot see much except the lights on shore. The food was great and served promptly. My only disappointment was in the DJ who didn't seem to realize that most of the patrons were at the age where a different type of music for dancing would have been enjoyed more.
Josh_O, Feb 2026
Food was terrible staff was very kind and friendly, I have no Idea how they did it with so much joy.
LaVerne_R, Feb 2026

John_H, Jan 2026
Easy to make reservations and changes. Good service, friendly staff, food was nicely presented and tasty.
amber_g, Jan 2026
Bathrooms downstairs lol but other than that The service people were very attentive. If you have any celebration, the DJ will announce it on the intercom and it's just very memorable and very special.
James_T, Jan 2026
The staff are very professional, the food was tasteful and the ship was clean. Everything ran smooth from the beginning until the end. Just wish the dinner cruise was longer.
David_S, Jan 2026
Great atmosphere and food was super fun and cozy date night for our anniversary. My wife and I had a great time even on thought it was a little wet outside
