“Erick the server/manager was awesome. He and his crew were always there when we needed something. Throughout dinner we went up to the observation deck to look at the sights but honestly when you’re done w dinner there’s about 45 mins to look at the night lights and that’s way better than the beginning if you ask me. I had a wonderful time. My family of 5 had full bellies by the end of the night. Thank you. Thank you. Will definitely recommend my friends.”

3.5-hour Montreal evening cruise with DJ, cashless bars, panoramic skyline views, Jacques Cartier Bridge, and a floating dance floor.

“I got 10 tickets for me & my friends to go on the evening cruise, and the experience didn’t exceed my expectations. I will start with the one and only pro: the beautiful view. The music was ok, nothing extraordinary but they played a few different genres to please the different groups in the audience. The con: the service.

The waiter took forever to come and take our orders, then managed to forget one order completely and to bring the wrong item for one of us. The food took about 50 mins and it was overpriced and tasteless. I’ve had…”
