1.San Diego Harbor Dinner Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,234 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $125Our pick

Review of San Diego’s Harbor Dinner Cruise, covering food, views, entertainment, price, accessibility, open bar, and practical booking tips.

“I was initially intrigued and excited by the concept of the dinner cruise! Made the company aware of my allergies (peanuts & peas) and they were very attentive the week before the cruise to make sure my plate would be allergy free. My sad salad consisted of a few pieces of lettuce and 4 raisins, but no cheese (not sure why?) and no almonds. My main entree consisted of fish, mashed potatoes and vegetables, specifically snap peas (which I’m very allergic to). Dessert consisted of cheese cake that was so-so. Had much higher expectations for paying over $200 for the dinner cruise”

Review of NYC’s New Year’s Eve harbor cruise with buffet, open bar, DJ, skyline views, and fireworks, including tips on value and timing.

“The decoration and the atmosphere were amazing. Everyone was super friendly, the food was good. The music could have included more new songs, unfortunately only oldies were played, which meant that the dance floor was getting a little emptier. But overall it was a great experience, although it could have gone on a little longer, 3 hours went by way too quickly.”

There was ample space for taking photos, and the ship's crew was very friendly and attentive.”
