The cruise was nice. My only problem is for almost $350. There was not enough food. The staff was friendly. Excellent and great. Great customer service friendly and I think my waitress was named Katie. She was excellent. My only problem was there wasn't enough food. For the amount of money and one glass of champagne that could have been ordered vegetable platters other than that it was a great experience. Can't wait to do it again

Great experience and atmosphere. Definitely doing this again. From the wait staff to the music and boat, everything was wonderful.

The food is soooo mid. The steak was premade so you couldn’t order your steak how you like it (e.g. medium rare). The salmon was fine. Honestly the whole experience felt like a cheap tacky wedding and it was maybe 30% capacity so it was really awkward. DJ was also pretty interesting.. Overall super weird experience and it 100% was a waste of money and time. Oh yeah you are also just going in circles around the Marina so that was pretty weird too

Staff was great. It was a lot of fun but the food was not very good. My wife enjoyed her chicken dinner but I ordered the flat iron steak and never finished it because it was pretty bad.

Disappointing! Because it was Fathers Day weekend th e dinner cruise price was doubled. But we did it anyway, also celebrating 2 birthdays.
The ship was older,smaller than the one we had getter before. The food was below average for $200+ per person, the steak was cooked on shore earlier in the day and reheated on the boat so they all were well done, and the dessert table had just a handful of selections, very limited. The service was great, everyone was friendly and helpful. But the aging boat and sub par meal at such a high price made this most likely my last time with this cruise company.

Staff was friendly, professional, and respectful to the guests. The food was also really good, I enjoyed the boat ride....the weather was perfect
Rene_L, Aug 2024
Dinner, staff and entertainment was amazing..Staff went above and beyond to be attentive, kind and fun…EXCEPT (a man, security) who was welcoming people on board..he was extremely rude and not helpful, since we were not sure where to go nor if we were at the right boat..8/16/24 @ 6:30 pm cruise

Friendly staff, great food and great music!!! Crew was awesome and very knowledgeable of the vessel!
Michael_R, Jun 2022
It was terrible. It is billed as a a “premier” cruise. It is anything but. We expected something like the Odyssey Cruises out of Chicago but it was anything but that. The carpet was old and stained. The windows were dirty and the floor was so slanted you could hardly walk and the bathrooms were disgusting. The music was too loud and most of the guests were drunken and obnoxious people in there twenties. This was not a premium cruise. The only positive was our waiter Arturo was a nice guy and tried hard to provide good service. We liked him. Aside from that this dinner cruise really stunk.

I must confess i did enjoyed my time on board, the staff was great and very polite, crew members very organized and friendly, can't wait to be back, hornblower should always advice customer to dress to withstand the breeze
Barry_P, Feb 2020
I real enjoyed the cruise and the waiter, Brandon, was excellent. I would definitely consider doing it again or recommending it to other people.

Simply well done - good food - all employees were exceptional - See you again - Thank you

So, we had a fun time and Marina Del Rey was nice, but we originally wanted to have this tour out of Newport Beach. The reservations give you the option between both and recommends you call within 24 hours to choose one. I actually called a little over a day in advance and was told by the Hornblower reservationist that the Newport Beach cruise was sold out for weeks and that they reserved me for the Marina Del Rey location. I was disappointed, but was able to adapt to the change of venue with some added stress.
Apart from this, I do have to say that the cruise was lovely, the service was good, the food was outstanding, and the entertainment was good too. It was a nice change for a weekend, but wish I did not have to travel out of my way an additional 50 miles.

Service was excellent, food was delicious especially the salmon...music and ambience very nice!!!
Diana A, Jul 2017
Had the best time much better than expected. The amazing crew and the gorgeous yacht made this an unforgettable trip.
There was no micro managing once you step aboard its all about you
Everything was wonderful all the way. A+ to the whole crew.
Yasmin D, Jul 2017
The food, the music, the view, the service, and the chocolate covered strawberries as we disembark were perfect! Highly recommended!
MariaAnna Z, Dec 2016
We had a nice evening, with good music and good food. There was a confusion with the kids meal that they forgot and said they did not even know about it but eventually brought it.
Loukisha W, Oct 2016
We had a wonderful time. The food was delicious. We booked at one location and accidentally showed up at the wrong cruise location but the captain was very accommodating because it was our 20th anniversary. He made sure it was indeed a special event for us. Loved it...
Ida_D, Sep 2016
It was okay... Not worth 280 for two guests.... food wasn't bad... it took a while for the food to come out... the trip was 3 hours and not much to do.... I was bored after an hour... sad thing we where stuck....
Cheryl N, Jul 2016
It was a wonderful experience for me and my husband! It was also my birthday and I must say the best one ever! The captain, staff, food and the DJ were the best! I will definitely be back and have already told several family members and friends
Philip W, Jun 2016
The tour was good but beware of the sample menu advertised on viator, the 'filet minion' actually was beef short rib, a cheap bit of stewed beef. And the mahi mahi was a tiny bit of salmon. So a far cheaper menu than they advertise. The trip was ok, except for very loud groups of people ruining it
shari b, Jun 2016
It's was fine, however, they screwed up my reservation. So, it wasn't the experience I had planned.
natchawan a, Oct 2015
food was horrible but everything was good. Enjoyed all the views and music
S A A, Jul 2015
The boat is dated, small, never left the bay. No real skyline/views. Would definitely suggest you skip this one, having done similar cruises in NY, Chicago, San Francisco and Dubai

We expected more from this tour. The tour is a cruise in the harbour area. The staff was extremly friendly and helpfull. The food was o.k.. The included sparkling wine was lowest quality and we could not drink it.
World Traveler, Oct 2014
What a lovely evening! From start to finish, the whole experience was fantastic. We were greeted with a welcome drink had time to catch a gorgeous sunset. We even spotted some sea lions resting on the docks. The service was great and the staff were very attentive. The food was good, you definitely won't leave hungry.
John S, Jul 2014
My date and I had wanted to take a romantic cruise around the Marina. The food and service was good. The music, a very important part of a romantic cruise was not at all appropriate. 90% of the music was Salsa, there was only one song of the many that was slow. About 20% of the passengers danced when the Salsa was playing; over 50% of the passengers danced to the one slow song.
My date and I hoped we could celebrate special occasions with a cruise like this, unfortunately we won't be returning.
ERIC R, Jun 2014
Me and my wife love it think you verry much, we will be back.
Georg B, Jun 2014
Nice Cruise, two rounds in the harbour. Diner is good.
After diner remains roundabout 3/4 hour for dancing,
(for those who think it´s a party boat).
We think it´s worth the money and time.
It was a liitle bit cold because open doors on the top deck.
Info : We traveled there with the hop on / off bus tours,
a taxi back isaround 60 $.
