Husband and I took the Battleship New Jersey lunch cruise. Of course seeing the Battleship New Jersey cruise ahead of us down the Delaware was a once in a lifetime experience on the Spirit of Philadelphia. We were greeted with appetizers and a buffet lunch followed. Having the choice between a flaky salmon or tender chicken went well with the offered sides. There was an open bar of you're so inclined. We sat with strangers who became friends and the trip was wonderful.

Was very nice food was good and everyone was hwlpful and kind. I think the parking needed to be more organized for large groups like battleship yesterday. Telling us the lot closed/full with a sign instead of sitting in line for 20 min to find out go to Hilton Hotel or other options. Almost missed the event . I was over an hour early

It is definitely not what it use to be. We paid for premium package with open bar . Drinks were so slow to come out as there was one bartender . You never knew what you were getting because it often wasn’t what was ordered example I ordered same drink all night it was in different glass with different garnishes each time( not same drink) decor needs upgrade . Buffet ran out of most items. Not at all worth what they are charging. Seems very run down and understaffed. We had tradition of bringing kids for 21st bday and this last trip made us realize we need new tradition!! Don’t waste your money

Had a great experience. The staff was extremely friendly and made sure everyone had an amazing experience. The music was nice. The food was great. You do have to serve yourself, and they did have plenty of food available even if you're the last person in line. You can order more side dishes and alcohol drinks if needed. The outside deck is amazing. Have three levels you can view the water from. You have the option to smoke outside on the deck, and they do have cigarette dispensers. The temperature in the boat was okay, I do recommend bringing a poncho or some light sweater if you get a bit cold if you go during the winter seasons. But overall, the temperature during the winter was not bad unless you wanted to chill outside on the deck, and there are places you can sit on the outside deck. Highly recommend anyone to experience this cruise.

So please be aware when purchasing that purchasing a package only means it's for one person.absolutely baffled they did give me a refund but sucks because we were looking forward to it

First time here with the love of my life, we were pre celebrating his birthday looking to have a great and unforgettable experience. Sad to leave the place disappointed. Not only because of the under seasoned food and cold pre cut steak seating on the so called carving station, i wonder how can someone serve under cooked au gratin potatoes and make them look burnt. Cruise did not move from deck and that was understandable because of the winds, but the lack of professionalism on the management on how to properly handle and run the place is incredibly bad. Even when I was approved by who i believe was part of the management team and i expressed myself about the unsatisfactory experience we were having i received nothing but a "i understan" as an answer. We were here for about 2 hours counting the time to write this review and to eat the poor quality food from here. I'm sure i could've gotten a better experience on one of those food trucks from around the corner in Camden.

I am very surprised that this dinner cruise has ANY good reviews. I went on this dinner cruise on 1/5/2024 and it was AWEFUL!!! The boat was small, it stank like a dirty mop, the food was TERRIBLE, the service sucked, the view was horrible, and it was an all around bad experience! We were on the Rendez-Vous. We were told that their main ship was out for maintenance, but in my opinion, the price should have been at least discounted (if this was even true). We were not told this during the booking.I really wish I could get my money back. I would not recommend this experience for anyone.

My bday was July and I had so much fun.I would do it again.Although the food wasn't that great.But,it was ok

Went for a dinner cruise for a family member’s birthday. Was definitely a unique experience and we had fun, but I don’t think we’ll do it again. The buffet style food was just okay (either totally underseasoned, or had WAY too much salt), it took FOREVERRRR to get drinks from either the servers at the table or directly at the bar, and the entire ship really just needs a good, thorough deep cleaning. And because it’s on the waterfront, parking is a pain. Got some cool pictures from the deck once we were moving, but I think it was a once and done experience for us.
