Very nice experience!

Published on Dec, 2024

Very nice experience even though all the windows fogged up I guess due to the rainy day. Crew were lively, polite and fun! Plenty of food, music, and fun. All in all it was worth the price.

Looking forward to the next one

The food was amazing. The river ride was super cool, and the on board service was exquisite. And the DJ was fire with the hits.

Absolutely Amazing

I traveled to DC from Texas for my Birthday (solo) decided to take the lunch cruise. When I say it was absolutely fabulous. The energy , the music, staff and DJ . All ages , races etc . Everyone was dancing , the food was really good. It can be a romantic luncheon , girls day out, family fun, whatever you want it to be . The staff was so attentive and fun .
