We LOVE Volunteer Princess cruises. We did our second one on Valentines Day and it was amazing. Rose petals all over our table, champagne, an excellent dinner, and dancing all on board a yacht. What more could you ask for? I can't wait to go back!!

We booked seats for the Valentine's Day dinner cruise, and it was absolutely fabulous. All of the food tasted homemade and fresh, and the courses were brought at a steady pace- not too fast but you weren't waiting forever either. The staff were attentive and proactive in making sure you were satisfied, and everyone was extremely friendly. The DJ played... More

The owner greeted us and explained the cruise wishing us a Very Happy New Year and a good cruise! Each person was greeted by their server with a complimnetary glass of champagne wihin 5 minutes of reaching their assigned tables. Food servings started promptly when the cruise began and each serving was well portioned and cooked perfectly. The food was... More

We joined the Volunteer Princess for a dinner cruise last week and had an amazing time. The food and the service was outstanding. Everything I had was delicious, the spinach artichoke dip was the best I have ever had and the beef medallions were out of this world. It was a great night all around. My husband and I were... More

We went for New Years. The view was okay...the windows fog up after 15 minutes on the boat so there was eventually no view. The food was TERRIBLE. I am surprised they would serve almost rotten beef on board (although the hors d'oeuvres were decent). A few of the staff members had bad tempers and simply did not care. I... More

We attended a Murder Mystery Dinner on the Volunteer Princess tonight and were so pleasantly delighted. The yacht is gorgeous and the staff courteous. The food was surprisingly good-hot and flavorful. (I haven't had good luck with the quality of food at similar venues). I'm a picky eater and I ate EVERYTHING served to me. Well, I did leave one...

I took my wife on a dinner cruise on this beautiful yacht for her birthday last year. It was perfect! The yacht was very nice and well taken care of, the service and staff were superb, and it was very good food. We stepped aboard and they had our table all set up for us and we were told that... More

I went on the dinner cruise in early spring. It was a warm, sunny afternoon and there were not many people on the boat. It was very relaxing. The food was great, the staff was friendly, and I was able to go visit the captain while he was piloting the boat. They just started a new mystery cruise and I... More

My wife and I have taken two dinner cruises with the Volunteer Princess. We really enjoyed the experience both times. One was for new years, the other valentines day.The yacht was purpose built for the river dinner cruise and has everything needed to create a really special experience.

Yes, there was a warm greeting, the boat ride was wonderful and the sights were gorgeous, but other than these things I felt everything else was downhill as far as food and service. When I first walk in, I am charged an extra $60 for our cruise when using the half off coupons (We aren't made of money, it's the... More
