We had a wonderful time! The magic show was very well done, fun to watch, and full of humor and excellent illusions! The wait staff was very friendly and service oriented. The food was good, not great, but good. The medallions were very yummy, but the chicken was a little over "boiled." The views along the river were lovely, and... More

First off, I have no idea where these bad reviewers got their experience- it had to be a different cruise. I went on the Portland Spirit for a Saturday night dinner and had one of (if not THE) best dinner experiences I've ever had in Portland. Maybe its because I don't get to take my fiance out every weekend and... More

Another reviewer wrote that the only good thing about the dinner cruise was being out on the river. That about sums it up for me. The food was decent, but probably not even good. The ambience on the ship was very dated and just seemed kind of cheap. The server was friendly, though, which helped. All I can say is... More

We had a delightful afternoon lunch cruise on the Spirit. The food was far more than I expected, the staff friendly and fun. I recommend you try it out on your next trip to Portland!

Pleasant atmosphere and friendly service. We upgraded to the "Romance Package" which included a free picture, bottle of Champagne and a premium dessert. Well worth the cost. The portions of food for dinner were bigger than imagined. Quit good too. After dinner we spent the remainder of the cruise on the deck enjoying the sites and listening to the captains... More

Make sure to dress in layers. It can be cold in the morning and warm in the afternoon. They do provide blankets if you get too cold. No worries about it being wet or windy if you sit at the front since the front and part of the sides are enclosed with see through plastic. Bring snacks since there is... More

We went on a dinner cruise and the only good part was being out on the River. The boat is dreary and no effort has been made to make it more cheerful in the dining room. The dinner was mediocre, lacked flavor, poorly presented and reminded me of a large TV dinner! Even though dinner was (expensively) prepaid, they nickel... More

This was a wonderful experience. I treated my mother and sister to a birthday lunch on the Portland Spirit. It was much better than i expected. Our waiter, Eric, was fantastic!
