Beautiful Night on the Potomac - Check in and boarding process was seamless and the boat offered beautiful views of the city. There were a couple private parties on the boat the same night so the crowd was a lot of fun! The bar made good cocktails (extra). Food was delicious! Dancing was fun! Views from the Potomac were great as the city lit up after sunset.

Float On!! - The dinner cruise was beautiful and relaxing yet fun. The music was really nice and had a great time dancing. The food was okay, expected a little more base on the price of this cruise. But all in all it was very nice.

Avoid, avoid , avoid or prepare for disaster - OMG what a totally horrendous experience
I hope I save somebody else from this nightmare
Where to begin
The boat needs a total refurbishment
Disgusting carpets, furniture needs burning and replacing
Just very nasty decor
Then the service is just rubbish, under staffed so the food arrived after 90 mins
Frankly they should not have bothered it was utter filth. The chef needs replacing, a total amateur
Disgusting dry chicken, steak was cold
Heinz vegetable soup with old prawns thrown in
Just very nasty
The highlight should have been the view but a private party had requested a party wall be built blocking our view so we missed the sunset
The mgr tried to compensate us with a bottle of free wine. We asked for the wall to be removed but the mgr claimed this was not possible whilst moving
This turned out to be a total lie as it was partially taken down once the party wanted to hear the music
The mgr gave us a bottle of wine for her lie
We gave waiting for drinks and went the bar
The endless coffee never actually began!
The music was ok
Avoid,avoid , avoid

Avoid, avoid, avoid - What a dump
I would give zero stars if that was an option
The boat needs a total refurbishment
The carpets we’re disgusting, the furniture tired and needs burning
The only thing premium is the price
The service was rubbish
The food arrived after 90 mins, we gave up waiting for drinks and went to the bar ourselves
The food when it finally arrived was utter filth
Dry chicken in some disgusting sauce
The point of cruise was obviously the view but they put up a party wall so we could only see half the view
All in all the most disappointing thing we did in Washington
Unless you like crap food, piss poor service in a minging boat you should avoid

City Lights Cruise had NO CITY LIGHTS - This was a bust for me. We didn’t see the city lights. We were ported before the sun actually set and prior to time stayed in advertisement. The food was good and service was good but for the price and the event title, we should have seen the city after sunset as that was the whole point of the boat ride.

Bad Experience for the... - Bad Experience for the cost. The advertising was for a dinner cruise with a night time view of DC monument. Never happen. No where near the monument. The food was cold and our meals were served to the folks next to us who used there folks on the dish and then they pull the meal from their table moved it back to the staging area. Then I watched them serve us the same food the table next to us just touched 15 minutes later. Unacceptable. Not worth the $435 for 2.
