"high point of our trip"
I expected this to be a very good event, but it became a high point of our trip. Not to take away from the beautiful beaches or the great sights but this cruise had everything. Lots of people but all moved on board quickly. We sat with a group of 4 and had great conversations. The food was very good, the wine inexpensive and the servers very attentive. The sights were spectacular and it was all rounded out with a dance band in a large lounge playing popular music.
Tip: Don't be disappointed. To be sure you get on board buy your tickets in advance from vacations made easy.

The sightseeing cruise was the perfect way to begin our first visit to lake tahoe. Everything i had read about ahead of time came to life. We were fortunate to have a clear sunny afternoon after arriving a couple of days before in a haze of smoke. It was one of the highlights of our visit to lake tahoe.

The cruise was fine once we were aboard. Unfortunately, it was almost impossible to park. At least 30 cars were combing the aisles for parking 1 hours before the cruise and it did not get better. We ended up taking a space in front of a walkway and worried we would be towed.

If you see my photo at first, you probably think it was the worst day to go to the cruise, as we thought, too. But once we get in the cruise the snow ? Stopped and we saw the most wonderful views. The team it's super nice ? They were always taking care of us. The only thing i was no confortable about is the ship was full of people and the capacity was not reduced, all the tables were full and the distance between tables were also small, and some people have to wait to take a seat. In general the trip worth because of the beautiful views and the super blue water.

This turned out to be a great place for a family dinner, cruising and dancing given our concerns about covid-19. We had our own separate table with a special meal for our granddaughter, lovely views from the uncrowded top deck of emerald bay with commentary and managed to work off a few calories dancing (6 ft apart) to a super band-duo. The ms dixie staff all wore masks (as did we when near other guests) and special precautions were taken to increase hygiene. A truly lovely evening that let us escape to a fairy-tale era!

Took the daytime trip, i was a little disappointed as i thought we would see the whole lake. The boat basically goes to emerald bay and back across the lake (who know it would take 2 hours just to go over and back). The narration was good although sometimes hard to hear.

The two hour excursion was just right for us. I was entertaining out of town guests and this was a highlight. You receive some of the lakes history and current facts over the loud speaker.

"Lovely trip on m."
Lovely trip on m. S. Dixie ii for a beautiful sunny afternoon cruise on emerald bay. For the most part the music and the tour information was easy to hear! I believe the company would do well to make an up-to-date video of the treasures beneath lake tahoe as their video is 20 years old and of marginal quality. (although good for the time)
Tip: Take the evening cruise that includes a meal for what sounds like a good value since local food prices are high.

We were not pleased with the $10 parking fee on top of the cruise cost. I also that if you are calling it a lunch cruise that the lunch isn't included. All in all, the cruise was a good day and we appreciate the music and being able to hear the narrative. What was disturbing to me was the cost of the photos. $45!!!!! That's just outrageous. I'm a photographer and i know those don't cost that much. Then, it was $35 for one. We loved our photo and $25 would have been a sale. Instead, you made $0.00.

The cruise was very enjoyable as was the band entertainment. Disappointed in the dinner however. My wife's chicken dinner was barely edible, burned with very little meat on the bones, mashed potatoes were good, broccoli spears not edible, hard and chewy. My steak very well done, i ordered medium well, not even close, couldn't even cut the steak. Same brocolli problem, potatoes decent. Dessert was reasonable. Cruise price would have been reasonable had the food been much better prepared.

The views are gorgeous on this sightseeing tour, and the boat is really cool, but it was so over-crowded. Everyone was packed in like sardines. We really enjoyed being on the water. We stood near the bar on the upper deck, and i had my two 90 year old parents with me. People did not even move to give him a seat. When we went to get off of the boat, we had to go down several flights of stairs, and because it was so crowded, people were pushing us all over trying to exit the boat from all decks in the same spot.
The female bartender on the top deck was quite snarky, and it was duly noted by others around us.

"The trip was great!"
The trip was great! Emerald bay was beautiful! It was hard to find parking (we almost missed the trip) it was hard to find seating as well. Seemed very over booked. The food for purchase (lunch, dinner is included, lunch is not) was good. Service was great! I think overall it was a little over priced. $70 per person. It was a great experience.
Tip: Reserved parking for dixie passengers? Enough seating to accommodate?

The ms dixie sunset cruise was a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary!!! We were shuttled from our hotel, the staff was super friendly. My husband and i chose steak with veggies and the loaded au gratin potatoes. Man, those were yummy!!! And don't forget the cheesecake!!! The views were spectacular! After dinner we enjoyed the live band upstairs, they had the dance floor packed the entire time!
We were alittle nervous when we heard how many people the dixie holds, we had been on a small yacht before with only about 40 people. So 3-5 hundred people sounded crazy. To be honest, it didn't feel overly crowded at all! If i hadn't read that the boat holds that many, i never would of known! It was fabulous!

The cruise was absolutely stunning. The boarding process was easy and fun. Being greeted with champagne was a nice start. The dinner is probably the only reason for a less than 5 star rating. I ordered the steak that was listed as a ribeye. In my opinion and some others that shared my table felt that it was more like a sirloin, thin and a little dry which was really disappointing. The chicken, which my boyfriend ordered was okay. However, we both agreed that we wish we would have tried the salmon because of the quality of the other choices. The sides were great as well as the other courses. As for the cruise itself, we loved it. It was absolutely stunning with plenty of time to enjoy the sites. Overall the experience was enjoyable.

It was a lovely evening. Everything went well for our group. The air-conditioning was out in the dining area...This did have some impact. I wish aramark would ask for a review of the zephyr lodge room accommodations. What a nightmare...Incredibly expense and they were not prepared for guests. No hot water my entire two day stay, locked out of the lodge...Staff goes home and they provided no information of such or how to access your room during these hours. Two fold-out beds with no linen and not made for my guests staying in that area. Carpet was filthy. Large jetted tub was old and the jets looked as though they harbored scum from previous guests. But, we had no hot water so we could not even shower !!! They need to be ready to rock and roll if you are charging 320.00 per night for a room. Tahoe is always beautiful, thankfully.

I’d say skip it if you have better options.

Although no lake/ weather warning, waves and wind were strong while the temperature frapidly dropped while waiting to board. Many people boarding were dressed in spring clothes and evening dress-wear. We had to wait on the dock without protection up to 30 minutes before being allowed to board. Some protection or better boarding procedures need to be implemented. Service was good, the scenery beautiful, the food average.

Our experience on the m.S. Dixie ii sunset
dinner cruise was lovely. Not quite as elegant as i had hoped and expected, but the food was good, and our server was very accommodating. Unfortunately, the day was grey and overcast so we didn't see a sunset or much pretty scenery. All in all, however, it was a nice experience.
Tip: Be early to board so your chance of getting a window table is better.

My husband,brother,sister, and i took the cruise on august 23rd. The tour of emerald bay was wonderful. The dinner was also very pleasant. Our waitress was attentive and made us feel very comfortable. Even though we only danced to two songs we enjoyed listening to the band. All in all, well worth the price. Would recommend this cruise to everyone. Regina
