It was absolutely wonderful. The food was great and the tour was exactly what my wife and I wanted. What a lovely way to spend an evening celebrating our anniversary.

Great experience with friendly staff. Might be a little pricey for the amount we paid.

The cruise itself was very nice. I loved seeing the beautiful Emerald Bay. The dinner service was lacking. It took 45 minutes to finally get someone to open my bottle of wine and bring me glasses. The other tables were already being served their appetizer and salad before I even had a drink. Another man at my table ordered a beer which took nearly an hour to get. The dinner service was the only thing that I did not enjoy. The rest of the experience was awesome.

We had a lot of fun with my families. I like the dancing and the food is delicious especially the dessert. Awesome. I will try to do it again.

The cruise was fine, but your advertisement for suggested "Dress Code - appropriate attire is casual to dressy. Men traditionally wear sports jackets" was way overboard. My waife was sad that I wore a jacket and she wore a long dress (only one other lady wore a long dress, men did not wear jackets). We stayed a week at Marriott's Grand Residence Club and could have gotten a 15% discount if we had booked the MS Dixie II locally. Also my wife's steak was medium, but mine was well done and tough, I ordered it medium as well. We loved our Lake Tahoe vacation however.

This was our third dinner cruise and the poorest. Other times we were done with the meal before we got to Emerald Bay so we could go atop and watch the scenery. The meal was very slow to start and very slow to be served. Our meals were cold when we got them and our steaks were not the best. The dessert was awesome! We will not do it again since we have done it before. This was the first time we had had live music and it was enjoyable.

I was disappointed that the dress code was so casual. Instead of a dinner crusie I felt I was on a boat ride. Food was good.

All in all, it was a good time. However, my husband was not happy because "Dress Code - appropriate attire is casual to dressy. Men traditionally wear sports jackets" was not really the attire. We were about the only ones dressed up-some even wearing shorts and sweatshirts. The food and beverage was ok but served in plastic!?! The band was good and entertaining. The staff was nice and even sang "Happy Birthday" to my husband. We arrived to Emerald Bay when it was already dark so we missed out on the beauty of the bay... We did have a good time, but not sure it was worth the price.

I took my husband and another couple on the trip.
The guard at the dock told us there was another trip going out that night at 10:30. When we got back at 9:00 instead of 9:30, and had barely finished our dinner let alone have time to have an after dinner drink and enjoy the music and dancing, we remembered what the guard had said. We feel we were rushed back, and didn't get what we paid for which was a 3 1/2 hour cruise with dinner and dancing. My husband and I took this trip last year and so enjoyed it we raved about it to lots of people and invited our guest to the trip. We will not recommend this trip to any one else after this experience. We feel we were cheated out of 30 minutes so the boat could get ready for the extra after hours trip they had booked. Just wanted you to know about this in case this should happen again in the future. Sincerely Yvonne Parks

SCENIC CRUISE. FOOD A DISAPPOINTMENT

It was a good trip just because of the scenery. However, the food was not that good. Also there was a private party of 30 and the rest of the people have not been notified that a section will be closed just for them so whenever someone tried to sit in that section the people in that party would tell us to leave and personally I did not appreciate that. I felt very uncomfortable after that and did not enjoy the rest of the trip.

My wife and I enjoyed the cruise, dinner, and a spectacular fireworks show celebrating the labor day holiday. However, the dancing floor was taken over by a wedding party which took the first dance and kind of kept everyone else, who was not part of the wedding party, from dancing. And considering how the musicians were singing we did not want to really dance anyway. They played nice music, it was when any of them started singing that we had to take off and go up top and just enjoy the moon on the waves. We would have been totally happy with that but they piped the music from below to speakers up top. So there was no escape from the cat like screeching.

The reviews on this dinner cruise had me sold on it -- but we were so disappointed!!! The "music" lasted for about 35 minutes, the drinks were no less than 8 each, and the food was absolutely pathetic. The menu sounds wonderful, but when the food came out it was clear that it was a low-budget meal to feed the masses. You were set at tables with strangers like on a cruise ship and the food came out in disorganized courses. Shrimp cocktail was luke warm and not fresh at all. The chicken and the steak were both salty and luke warm. The ravioli wasn't bad, but how do you mess up ravioli After dinner the boat turned around and we headed back in to dock. I would not recommend this cruise at all.
