Pleasant Boat Tour

5.00Easy boarding, assigned tables for buffet, decent choices for buffet. DJ plays entire trip and if you come to eat and dance you'll enjoy this trip. We are an older couple so after eating we went outside to top deck. Relaxing cruise on a nice weather day. We couldn't go completely into Chesapeake Bay because naval carrier was docking and shipping channel was blocked for security purposes, but that turned out to be interesting watching the helicopter's constant circling and police boat patrolling to keep an eye out for security purposes. Staff were pleasant.
Great afternoon

5.00Bring your appetite. The buffet was so much more than I expected. Everything was presented beautifully, worthy of a wedding. Chicken, salmon, pork, many sides, pasta and a small bites dessert table, all delicious. Then get up to the top deck for games, dancing and the informative narration of the sights along the cruise.
Loved it . First time...

5.00The cruise was welcoming. Our server, Damien, was attentive and friendly. The food was tasty. This was a celebration for our sister’s 84th birthday. Although the weather was cloudy and chilly, we enjoy the water view and narration about the military bases and ships.
It was a present for my life as her birthday, and she loved it
