Excellent service, view, amenities and food, highly recommended to take this tour. Good service.
Excellent
Very good, food, service, great way to spend a Christmas Day, and a great view of Paris.. wish it lasted longer.
Not a bad cruise. Good to do once.
The food was good, traditional French food. You are served champagne almost as soon as you're seated which was nice. The 5 or 6 courses were overall good; it certainly was a lot of food. The menu is fixed so if you're not adventurous or don't like something, you might be disappointed. I didn't find a menu in advance (or whether that was posted anywhere) and some of our family members didn't care for things here and there, but no one starved. What I didn't like about the cruise itself was that they never dimmed the lights in the interior of the boat so there was a lot of glare on the windows. We were seated in the middle of the boat where there are some pretty serious lights shining down. I felt like I was under a spotlight. If you can request it, get a table by the windows. If you're on the right (starboard) side of the boat, you'll never get a good look at Notre Dame. We decided halfway through that it was the experience of being on the Seine for dinner and occasionally seeing a landmark that was the best part. The views of the landmarks wasn't as romantic as it sounds. But the rest was nice.
Wonderful Experience
Booked this Christmas evening dinner cruise last minute through our hotel! Wonderful services, amazing food and views of Paris. The entertainment was exceptional and so was our server.
Don't Pass This Up!
Don't go for the food because the star of this experience is, well, the experience. The table was beautiful, the ambiance elegant and the scenery at night so very special. The food was not bad, but it was incidental to the fact we were in Paris, on the Seine and seeing some of the most beautiful and historical buildings in the world. We had a fabulous quintessential Paris experience and made a memory we'll never forget. The entertainment was quite good, as well! (By the way, when you get on the adjacent area to wait to board, the entry to get on the dinner boat is at the opposite end, not the middle.)
