2.5-Hour Dinner Cruise Through Downtown Portland

I had an elderly relative visiting so issues about walking. Took her on this cruise. Nicer than I expect (though not cheap). A couple of problems though—the food included in ticket price was rubbish—having the option of meals would have been better (I paid additional for seafood, alcohol, etc). I won’t fo it again-almost everyone on the boat was a ‘special’ event—graduations, wedding proposal, anniversary, etc. ok but kinda lame

Fair food. After the cruise at about 9:30 pm we were set to call Lyft. My AP failed. We had no way to get back to our hotel. The captain said that he would take us. Then he had forgotten that he brought his two seater sports car and could not help us. He offered to call a taxy and that the gate would be locked at 11:00 pm. He called a taxy. It would come in 30 minutes. It was 10:00 pm then in a high homeless dark area. At 10:30 pm No taxy. We were considering calling 911. At 10:45 pm a white car came into the parking lot. My wife and I (both old seniors) flagged the car down thinking that it was the taxy. It was a couple of ladies enjoying the color of the bridges. They heard our story and gave us a lift to our hotel 1.5 miles away. Thank GOD for them. The cab company called us at our hotel at 11.02 pm asking if we still wanted the ride. This ship company does not give a damn about its customers. Their prices are outrageous.

Food wasn’t great. Staff was very friendly and the cruise down the river and back was nice but no narration at all as to what you were seeing.

Pretty gimmicky. Food was ok. Staff was friendly. Cruise was nice and drink selectio was good. Not overcrowded.

Unfortunately this cruise was a disappointment. While the food was good, we were unable to enjoy it because it was covered in fruitflies. The bartender tried to make it right with a free drink but couldn’t even enjoy that because of the flies. After dinner, we went on deck to listen to the captain but couldn’t hear him bc people were playing their own music loudly

Food was surprisingly good, we both had beef tenderloin. The boat is clean and staff friendly. We were seated by the door leading to the bow outdoor area so that was a bit annoying. We enjoyed the cruise, there are some huge beautiful houses and the lights of the city were beautiful. Our server Lilly was very good. We spent $300+ for the cruise, extras like a glass of wine and dessert other than what's included... plus tip on entire experience.. Dessert could have been better. Kind of expensive but it was a vacation outing.

Now one told us NO narration unless on top deck and by that time too late Food and service good Expected to hear snd learn about the City ... Did not accomplish

Could not enjoy meal . Halfway through salad because of the bugs that got in it. No live music as advertised .played recording of music.

To begin with, just the excitement of the experience. The ship was beautiful and the evening was wonderful. Our waitress was kind, experienced and a pleasure to work with. We found the food to be very good and the drinks the same. Two distractions however did mar the evening some. One, a fogged window with a broken seal made site seeing difficult. Lucky for us, the dinning room wasn't booked and we were able to move to another table with proper viewing. That needs to be repaired or the table taken out of service. for the price of the evening and sight seeing being a major draw, it was disappointing. That can be easily corrected. However, the second distraction was the piano player. For over two hours she pounded out what seemed to be the same monotonous song. It was loud and grating. Two hours was tiring. Maybe she was having a bad night, but I ended up spending over three hundred dollars to treat my special lady to an exciting evening.

Ambiance was good. Could make same changes in food, add vegetarian and could change chairs and decor
