We were looking for something to do today. Decided on lunch cruise. From the moment we entered the boat it was awesome. Greated by de, and jade. These two gentleman never slowed down and had time for everyone. Then food was some of the best i had in a long time. The entertainment was great as well. We strolled the boat. Enjoyed the company of many different people. Went back to our table. Bunch was line dancing. Looked up and our waiter was dancing with them. The scenery was beautiful. The bathrooms were very clean. Then came miss jackie. She went from table to table and listen to everyone. Beautiful attitude and over all great person. Everyone and everything was above and beyond anything we expected.
