My husband and I went on the Hornblower dinner cruise for our one-year anniversary. This is a three-hour dinner/dance cruise around the beautiful San Diego harbor. Tickets are about $62 - $67 per person based on the day of the week you chose to go. I found a 25% off coupon online at [--].

Upon boarding your picture is taken in front of the yacht. You are able to purchase it toward the end of the cruise for $20, which includes 2 - 5x7s and a paper frame. You also receive a complimentary glass of champagne upon boarding.

We paid an extra $10 per person for a window seat, which I highly recommend. We got to see all the beautiful lights during our dinner. Our DJ was great. He took care of everyone’s requests. The food was good, but since we didn’t have lunch, we both were still a bit hungry. There is a full bar and prices were the same as what you would pay at any restaurant. Expect to receive a bill that includes 18% suggested gratuity based on the total cruise cost. This amount is only “suggested”, so you can leave what you want.

At the end of the cruise there was a fireworks show. This was the perfect ending to a great night. We had such a great time and highly recommend the Hornblower to anyone.

Our Real Estate agent gave us tickets to the brunch cruise and we had a great time. We live in San Diego and sail alot in the bay. I'd say this was an excellent way to enjoy the bay if you've never been or seen it a thousand times.

Great for families, old and young.

Professional staff and good food! Service was a little slow getting those drink refills.

At the end of the service, the waiter will hand you a ticket with a suggested tip of 18% at a full ticket price. They will give you the amount (about $18.00 for our service). We felt this was a little high considering it was serve yourself buffet.

Last time I went for the harbor cruise, we balked as it was a bit pricey. Then we walked across the street to the visitor's center and they had 2 for 1 discount coupons! Definitely worth crossing the street for. Enjoy.

We had a great time on the Adventure ship. We took the dinner cruise during the harbor's Annual Parade of Lights celebration. You have to get a window seat though. Our window seat was awesome, especially with San Digo's downtown buildings stretching toward the sky. It provides many romantic and magical moments. I was going to propose on this ship but could not seem to get alone. There were people in every part of the boat. I had to wait until the next day while on the beach. All in all a great experience, and we are now thinking about incorporating a ship into our wedding. Get there a little early though. Parking is kind of an issue.
