Beautiful discovery
It was a good time with family, and the cruise boat right next to it is the best way to continue the evening.

Poorly organized.
We didn't book a river cruise dinner, as we were leaving the next day for an 8-day river cruise on the Rhône. Instead, we chose to have dinner prior to boarding the boat tour. No representative was there to greet us or provide direction as to timing, etc. Restaurant staff were also confused as to how to proceed with dinner. You're best to organize your own dinner and simply do a boat tour.

Read the description...
Read the description carefully, this is not a dinner cruise, but a dinner AND a cruise. Dinner was at a floating restaurant on the pier, where the service was slow. The food was okay, but nothing special. The only advantage was that we had priority boarding for the cruise. It is better to eat at a nice restaurant outside the Eiffel Tower area and take the exact same cruise separately at a time more convenient for you.
