Customer Reviews

This experience has a customer rating of 4
based on 12 reviews.
The welcome was delightful and courteous. The meal was very good and excellent service. I would have rated 5 but the wheel chair service needs additional information for access. I had to walk to the pier and ask for chair that was reserved and was noted on reservations. The attendant retrieved chair and walked back with me to retrieve my friend. After the cruise I had to find someone to push the chair up the ramp to disbark

Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Thanks for writing in about your lunch cruise. I'm sorry to hear the weather wasn't the most cooperative while you were out on the water. Despite that, I'm glad you had great service and hopefully had great company on board. Please, let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Enjoy your weekend!  Best, Brooke
My husband and I scheduled our cruise on what happened to be a super rainy day. The staff was nice and accommodating. Unfortunately, We were not able to enjoy the indoor portion of the second floor, due to a scheduled wedding. It limited what where we could go on the boat - and because it was raining outside - we weren't able to fully enjoy the decks. Food was great and drinks were tasty!
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Thanks for writing in. I'm sorry to hear Mother Nature wasn't the most cooperative during your cruise. Despite the crummy weather, that's great to hear you had accommodating service and delicious food. We would love to get you out on a better day, so I have added $25 to your Cloud 9 Living account for a future experience. Best, Brooke
Food was great/ staff courteous and polite but was expecting more. Narration of the history of Baltimore as we cruised and saw scenes, games after eating or something besides food and music! We have been on similar cruises and do much more is possible.
Response from Virgin Experience Gifts
Thanks for writing in. I'm sorry to hear that the cruise missed its mark in regards to your expectations. This cruise does only offer lunch and musical entertainment on board, but I will be sure to pass along your comments to our product team to see if we can better address this in our description.  I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the food and had great service, though. Please note that I have placed $25 in your Cloud 9 Living account to use towards another experience.  Best, Brooke
