Went on the Saturday dinner cruise and it was storming outside. We saw this dinner cruise on Groupon and decided to try it out.... The staff weren't top notch but tolerable. The food service was strange; they served one side of the boat first and then theother side. Their salads were small and drowning in sauce. Only got two cherry tomatoes and two slices of cucumber. I got thestuffed shrimp with crab meat,rice, and green beans as the side. Seemed like their best dish because everyone seemed to begetting it. The fiancé got beef burgundy which was kind of lacking to be honest. Very hard to eat with a fork. Dessert came outand I got the chocolate "ganache" cake. All it really was, was chocolate sauce drizzled on top with a small slice of strawberry.Their chocolate mousse was pretty good but small portions. Overall the boat was old, cold and small. Probably will not cruisewith them again. Read more
Here for a Sunday brunch. Crew is polite and the buffet flow is well organized. Lots of elbow room and I thought the food was... great. Definitely recommending to friends and family Read more
A Groupon experience. We had a nice time on the boat, surprisingly the food was delicious. The Alexandria pier is fifteen... minutes away from National Harbor. The view is spectacular, National Harbor, Reagan airport, the Lincoln Memorial, WashingtonMonument, etc... 1st...Parking is limited. Its best to arrive at least an bour before departure to find on the street parking orlot parking. The port is being upgraded therefore some streets have limited parking. Street parking is by the hour, lot parkingis by the hour and limited. The lot by the port, if you mention your taking the Nina Dandy cruise parking may only be $7. Ifthere is an event taking place you may not find close parking. 2nd...The boat is dated meaning it's not a state of the artcruise ship. This cruise ship is NOT wheel chair accessible. The restrooms are located on the lower level of the boat if youhave difficulty with steps. 3rd...Open seating, 1st come 1st choice. Window seats limited and the first to go. 4th...There is abar serving alcoholic drinks, NO OPEN BAR. All other drinks except water are a fee. Ice tea and coffee are only refillable.5th...The garden salad was okay. The stuffed shrimp with crab over rice with greens beans was satisfying and filling. The cheesecake is also good. Didnt care for the raspberry drizzle it left an aftertaste in the mouth. During dinner the pianist playsafter dinner various genres are played for guest to dance. Different ages were on the cruise, families, couples, singles andseniors. Overall, a nice experience, worth the price we paid. The views were cool, the staff friendly and pleasant plus the boatstayed afloat. Lol Something different to do...give it a try but be opened minded. Read more
Bought tickets for Sunday Brunch cruise on Gold Star. It cost of tickets were decently priced for a party of 3. There is... parking less than a block away. The cost is $6. Prior to boarding, a photographer will be standing by taking group photos. Wewere seated and had a great window seat. A soft piano was playing by a live pianist. The music was comforting and not loud. Wewere called up by tables to head to the buffet. The buffet had a huge selection from waffles, fresh fruits, bacon, potatoes,beef stew, stuffing, macaroni & cheese, turkey and ham. The food was delicious. The temperature of the food could have beenwarmer as my stew was served room temperature. Dessert was chocolate pudding. Very limited on dessert selections. If you havebeen on brunch/dinner cruises before, this cruise is by far the most chilled out of all of them. If you want quiet and not loudmusic playing, this cruise is for you. I would've preferred a balance of quiet soothing music to start and fun and entertainingmusic on second part of the cruise. It started to get pretty boring on the second half of the cruise. I would try this placeagain but this time for a dinner cruise. Read more

Firstly, the boat is extremely old and the decor is so dated. Windows are scratched up. Secondly, the boat doesn?t even go... close to anything. Barely see any monuments or anything special as they advertise on their website and ads. Not worth it at all.Did not get to see anything special AT ALL. Only the food was good. Not amazing, just alright. I will not recommend thiscruise to anyone. Nothing special at all here. Read more
