What a fabulous night! Staff were very friendly, jovial and very attentive. The 4-course dinner was delicious (we had beef and salmon for mains) and the entree grazing tray, and dessert shared tasting plate per 2 people, were great ideas - all very tasty. We were a party of 4 and all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Drinks were plentiful all night and we were able to sit inside on the lower deck at nicely presented tables, or go upstairs and enjoy the river views and city skyline. Restrooms were clean. We would certainly take this trip again - it was one of the highlights of our city stay.sathih2022

We booked this cruise for my mum's 85th Birthday and from booking to the Dinner I could not fault a thing. Our dinner meals all came out together with all correct and all dietary requirements met. The Spaghetti Bolognese for the kids was an absolute hit even with the Adults as the kids could not eat what was given to them. The supply of drinks to the table was fantastic with waiters constantly asking if we needed any refills. It was a beautiful evening overall :)Paul_B
