Wonderful evening. - A truly memorable time. Cruise bost, paddle wheel, is large and pleasant. Greetings we're friendly and genuine. Dinner was very good. Sitting at table for 6 allowed got lots of conversation. After dinner on top decks was great and seeing Lake Tahoe from the water was pleasant. Had a live band to entertain but from the decks did not disturb anyone. Would recommend this highly.

We Enjoyed This Cruise! - We really enjoyed this Dinner Cruise. Everyone in the staff was very nice, especially the Captain. The food was good and we all enjoyed the meal. And the views on the lake were really nice. Very cool to cruise Emerald Bay at sunset and it was nice and cool on the lake, especially for July. All in all a great time!

Awesome Scenery. Loved the band too. - Beautiful view. Water was so blue. My steak was good but I ordered medium well and got medium. I was one of the last to be served cause the waitress didn't see us when we sat down so I had to go remind them that they hadn't gotten my order. I didn't return my steak cause I would have had to eat by myself. Everyone was leaving to the upper deck.

Mediocre drinks and food do not order the Salmon! - The food was mediocre. I am glad I didn't order the salmon as it was very dry and I have heard from many people not to order the salmon and the couple we sat with his wife ordered the salmon and said how it was very dry and we were in the first group seated so I can only imagine how dry the salmon was for the second group. They also ran out of wine glasses in the first group eating I could only imagine how it was for the second group. The drink orders did not come very quickly which was dissapointing and never got a water refill. It was our first time going as we wanted a romantic getaway. The Ribeye was good but very fatty and not worth the cost of the cruise it was a great experience but we will not be returning. parking was outrageous and it isvworth going once if you have never done it but I cannot say it is worth going more than once.

Awful band ruined the experience - The food was just ok… not great, not awful. We had the ribeye. Very thin and soaked in gravy, which gave a TV dinner vibe. The view was obviously beautiful and we really enjoyed being able to go into Emerald Bay to get close up pictures of the old tea room. This felt like we were on a senior citizen’s cruise, though. The singer was AWFUL… don’t know if he was drunk or just didn’t know the words to the songs. It was like really bad karaoke and completely ruined the relaxing vibe we were hoping for. I would not spend money on this experience if I had it to do over again.

Good Luck - The food and service was subpar. You will not have a say where you sit down for dinner even though the dining room wasn't close to being full. They said "Sorry sir, just sit here where I tell you, you cant sit anywhere else" The entertainment singer was mostly talking and not singing during the whole trip. The dining room was stuffy with no air circulation so you just have to adjust to being uncomfortable. The wine tasted terrible and we sent the wine back. On the positive side the beauty of Lake Tahoe never disappoints. Sit outside and enjoy the view!
