What a wonderful time! Your staff is so friendly & efficient. The chef fixed us spectacular food. There were lots of fresh, delicious choices. Thank you. Highly recommended. - Jeanne Scharf
This was my 5 time taking the this cruise, but my 1st time on a brunch cruise. We had amazing fun and the food,the staff, DJ, and the cruise was awesome. I recommend this cruise for good fun for anyone. We had window dinner seats and it was nice to cruise and eat while looking at the beach ocean until later we went on deck for a even more beautiful scenery. - Carolyn Price
My experience here was so perfect everything I expected when booking this cruise. Everyone on board is so friendly the staff makes you feel welcomed. Me and my fiancé booked the lunch cruise… everything was so neat and clean (including the restroom). I love the way they have things set up because it is a Buffet I was worried people were going to be everywhere but they have a very organized way of doing things. I highly recommend especially for couples that want to get out for a few hours. - Zytria Osborne
