Indian River Dinner Buffet Cruise

We took my (almost) 87 year old mother on the Mother's Day Dinner Cruise. Unfortunately, my mother complains about most things, but she really enjoyed herself and she had only GOOD things to say about the food and crew. it was a very pleasant evening and one we plan to repeat.

The cruise was an excellent way to relax and enjoy the company of friends and family. We all loved the Dixieland band, and the food was plentiful and very good.

took my mother for mothers day she loved it is a nice trip and the food was good the staff was also great take this trip you will like it

Great time with my husband and our closest friends food was wonderful staff was very. Polite. Only wish there was dancing or something

We decided to take the cruise for Valentine's day. Heard that it was being catered by the Black Tulip. Awonderful place in Cocoa village. The food ran out in 20 minutes! Reservations let everyone know how much to be prepared for! Very displeased with the quality of the food And lack there of and also paying for a 3 hour tour and only getting 2!!! We love the Black Tulip in the Village, but the catering left a lot to be desired! If and when they can actually give you a 3 hour tour and have some decent food we will consider going again! Living local we like to spend our money local. Unless things change I would rather drive and find another boat for a dinner cruise!! $8. Drinks and that wasn't even motivation to keep them on the water for the extra hour we paid for!!!

I took a group of 19 office people, ages 25 to 65. They seemed to enjoy it. Had good weather -Nov 18, 2011. I recommend doing it in the summer so that you get some daylight. Boat moves fast enough that there should be a cool breeze. Our November cruise was in the dark and required light jackets but that was kind of nice also. If your budget for attendees is only ~$50 each, this is a good outing. Make sure you go up to the upper deck, look at the sky and shoreline after the meal. Lower deck was crowded during the meal because they cram too many tables there since that is where the food line is also. Middle deck has more tables but we did not know that until afterwards. Friendly staff, very pleasant people. If they had had a full boat, then the whole experience would not have been as good. I paid for 25 people, no refunds after tickets are purchased. Launch and return time were within 3 minutes of schedule. Note that average dress is business casual. Web site should say that but doesn't. Jeans and tshirt will be underdressed. Music is on middle deck but does not start until after the meal. Stairs to upper deck are behind the stage.

My niece and I enjoyed the cruise very much. The boat was very clean and the staff was helpful. We were looking forward to the meal and it turned out to be nothing very special. A wedding reception would be great on your boat.. We would come again if the menu was changed and we will recommend to family and friends to go on the cruise also.

The Cruise was good fun but the food was absolutely diabolical. The menu stated and we have the printed copy that Fruit and Cheese Kabobs, Salad, Baked Beans, Cole slaw, Roast Beef, Rolls sliced Pork and Brownies would be served . We actually were served old looking lettuce, cold pasta, old rolls and pork in water. There had been cookies also but they ran out of them and were not replaced with anymore. Why were we not offered the food described on the menu. I booked this river cruise for my mother in laws 87th birthday and was highly embarrassed at the quality of the buffet. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.

A good thing to do when you take your wife out for a date. Food was good, bar was expensive. Nice peaceful cruise on the top deck watching the stars, listening to the band, spending time with my wife.

My husband & I traveled to central Florida from South Dakota. We we looking for unique things to do while on vacation. The Indian River Dinner Buffet Cruise was our last activity before we went back home. The cruise was a very relaxing way to end our vacation. The weather was perfect for our sunset cruise with low humidity and temps in the mid 80's. There was a band performing on the middle deck, that was very enjoyable to listen to as we cruised the Indian River. The food was good and the staff very friendly. Our only disappointment of the evening, was the group of men who chose to smoke cigars on the upper deck. Even though we were out in the open, the smell was very annoying & we had to move to another area of the boat where we were unable to find a seat or enjoy the view as much as we had on the upper deck.
