We did the signature architecture boat ride and it was spectacular! The views were incredible and the guide was very knowledgeable. She didn’t make a bunch of hacky jokes like most tour guides do which was a relief.
I booked this Premier Tour (The Odyssey) for the 4th of July fireworks mainly. A few highlights regarding my trip:
Excellent service & super kind & attentive servers. They made sure our dietary restrictions & specific requests were taken care of.
Would say the main course was okay, but I wasn’t expecting much. The dessert section was great though. The selection of cakes was so good.

I celebrate city cruises both for brunch and dinner. Brunch cruise was very professional but casual. The food is buffet style and delicious. The unlimited Mimosa was on point. I like to thank Peter and Sam. The dinner cruise was vibe. The steak was so yummy. The drinks was the way I like them. My birthday weekend was fire. I appreciate the birthday shouts out on both cruises.

Many reviews highlight the outstanding service, with staff members like Artesia, Lesly, and Anna receiving special mentions for their attentiveness and friendliness. The ambiance is complemented by music from talented DJs, making it a lively experience.
The food receives mixed reviews; while some dishes, like the kale salad, chicken, and cheesecake, are praised for their freshness and taste, others, like the sea bass, fall short of expectations. Many guests feel that the food does not match the higher-end prices. The noise level during the cruises can be a concern, affecting the ability to hear the tour guides.
