I spent $150 on a gift certificate for the evening dinner and dancing cruise for my parent's anniversary. I bought the gift certificate in October of 2011. When my parents called repeatedly to make their reservations, they got no answer. My dad looked it up online and found out the Rivership Romance had closed down due to costly repairs that... More

The Rivership Romance is out of business. Their web site is still up and I've seen reports of folks being able to book sailings, but the operation has been out of business since late last year. A story in the local paper said the ship had gone to the bottom inspector as expected, but more issues were found than expected... More

The riverboat is really fun. The food is great also. It is a very relaxing ride. They had a singer for entertainment while on board which helped make the mood more romantic.. They also make pictures of the couples on board and have them on sale for a reasonable price. This attraction is very relaxing and fun. I would love... More

The Rivership Romance is docked at the Port of Sanford on Lake Monroe. They offer lunch and dinner cruises, and also a Sunday brunch cruise. Cruises run from 3 to 4 hours depending on the cruise. Our favorite is either the lunch cruise of the Brunch cruise. We enjoy sitting on deck in the sun and watching all of the... More

I had reservations for dinner on 1-7-12 and when I called to confirm the phones were disconnected, so I drove by the office and the office is packed up in boxes! No call, no nothing! I lost my gift certificate and the company didn’t have the decency to call people and tell them their cruses were cancelled. More

My organization had booked a party on the boat and we have paid our initial deposit. We got a letter this week saying that they are going out of business with further details to follow. However on Facebook they say it isn't so, and their website is still up, but they are not answering their phones. Previous experiences had been... More

I took my mother on this Sunday morning brunch cruise and was totally impressed by the crew, the food and the peace of the river. The ride was as smooth a ride as I have ever experienced. Cruise Director, Dave Johnson was witty, very knowledgeable of the river and its history and extremely pleasant. He even announced my first published... More
