Very relaxing. Wonderful evening view of the city and bridges. This was one of our favorite experiences on a 10 day trip over 5 states. We did not opt for having dinner as part of the cruise and did not regret that. We would rather be outside taking in the scenery. I highly recommend this river cruise. To be honest, I don't often take time to provide ratings and type comments but wanted to give a shout out. If you are from out of town as we were, you may find it confusing to find the parking lot which is on the Kentucky side. Good luck with the traffic circles.

We chose to do the Sunset Cruise that didn't include the meal. We found out that it's actually the same cruise as the Dinner Cruise, you just show up a little later. The Dinner part takes place during boarding and once the Cruise begins, the food is put away. So it's better to eat somewhere else and then pay for just the Sunset Cruise. It was very nice and relaxing and the music was nice and not too loud - they picked songs that were chill and perfect for a stroll on the river. It would have been nice to hear some commentary about some of the things we passed, but having someone talk the whole time would not be good. It was perfect for my parents who are in their 80's and can't walk far distances - they were able to sit and just enjoy the view. All in all, we really enjoyed it!

The cruise was great! We took the sunset sightseeing tour, and we enjoyed the live music. There was a dinner cruise going on as well as a private party at the same time (I thought they were separate). Only things that could have made it better were clearer labels of where to go to buy snacks and drinks, and more information and direction from the crew. Had to hunt them down to ask questions!
