We were celebrating my 60th birthday. I've been wanting to do this for years. I suggested it so my sisters. My niece joined us and we had a Wonderful Time. The ship is pristine, the staff excellent and the food was delicious. The D J played great music and managed to play each one of our fav songs. Even my late mom's fav. We really had a blast. Kudos to the entire staff. We're now planning to do the dinner trip. I'm sure with Philly lights as a backdrop it will be awesome. We've posted all our memorable pictures and videos on all our social medias. Thank You so much.

Wrong time information.
Mary_C
, Jul 2021
My email and text said that boarding time was 11:00 am and departure time was 11:30. My brother and his wife were at the pier at 11: 05 and the boat was taking off. I felt really bad as I watched them watching us leave. So I was charged for people that didn't get on the boat. Do I get a refund?
