Soo cold out but the crowd was nice, music was great, food was great. We originally ordered tickets for the brunch with upgrade but it was canceled due to low interest so they moved us to dinner with first class upgrade and it was amazing. Now the guy doing the pictures on the boat was a different story. He passed us 5 times at the table with our pictures and made us wait until we passed the booth outside. It was already freezing! It was my birthday and I specifically wanted these pictures so I wasn't happy about that.

We took The Spirt Of Philadelphia around the Delaware for our friends birthday party. Hands down, you’ll get views and pictures that are beautiful. It’s a very unique experience. It’s also a nice steady ride up & down The Delaware. Most times I never knew we were moving. The environment is also clean and professional. Another note is how friendly the bartenders were. But the food was AWFUL!! Service was AWFUL!! No labels on the buffet to tell us what was in the food or even what it was. Everything was dried out and over cooked. Our waitress took our drink orders but we didn’t get them until about 30min later. When they did arrive, they were in tiny plastic cups. Would it really have been so much if you just placed two large pitchers of coke on our table? We had to keep asking for drinks and it was frustrating. The DJ was terrible. Most of the songs played were outdated. Not mixed well at all either. Would of had better music by turning on the radio.

Went on their signature dinner cruise at the end of February. Very fun and smooth experience. Parking is next to the dock for $20, literally a few minutes walk to the boat. It’s a covered cruise with a viewing deck, so it’s enjoyable regardless of the weather. It’s a buffet experience and the food tasted great. There is also a love DJ and a dance floor. I plan to come again for a day cruise.

I loved the fact that it was not crowded. They have breakfast and lunch. I like the chicken and pasta and dessert. The weather was bueatiful today. The music was lively. I was supposed to go for my wedding anniversary, but changed the occasion. They charge for anything drinks for other than tea or water. Parking is 20$ if you park in the lot next to the ship. Plus gas getting down there from Norristown.

My beloved wife made me a surprise and gave me a cruise to Spirit of Philadelphia for my birthday. Wow !!!!!! It was something magical, fabulous and unforgettable. A very interesting excursion! The captain of the ship and his crew did their best to keep us in mind of this trip. Everything is safe, clean and beautiful everywhere. We express our deep gratitude to the waitress who served us, the chef Mr. Barry and DJ. Guys, you are all very professional, kind and cultured. No rudeness, aggression and irritation. The food is delicious! Tea, coffee and water unlimited and free. Thank you for your great job! I will now come on your cruises many times!

I haven't been on The Spirit of Philadelphia in over 15 years and a week ago was my first time on City Cruises. Parking is $20. We went for Brunch and its still buffet style and much better than I expected. I didn't like the food the last 2 times I was on here all those years ago, but surprisingly, absolutely everything was delicious. Some of my faves were: creamy pasta salad, roasted potatoes with caramelized peppers & onions, salmon, french toast casserole, mini pudding & tart desserts and much more. Going for brunch means you get to enjoy the views much better in the daytime. The boat can use a good paint job....mainly the outside floors of course from all the seasonal weather changes. The crew and wait staff were friendly upon arrival and afterwards, except for one waiter, but he doesn't matter and he didn't affect the great time we had.

Fun experience, good food and good views. My wife and I went on the cruise for Valentine's day. It was a nice 3 hour cruise with a good buffet selection, comfortable seating. Although cold at this time of year it was nice to be able to sit on the upper deck outside and watch the city line view and the boat cruised up and down the deleware. It was a great time, Id reccomend trying it once.

Had a lot of fun after we boarded.. music and food was great the scenic view on the water was cool.. little high pricy after we had to sit and wait till Everyone check in and the. Another hour before staff found a table For us.. overall it was awesome

I attended a wedding on the Rendezvous and wow, It was a wedding I will never forget! I have been to a bunch of weddings in many different extravagant venues, but cruising on the Delaware river stands out from the rest, and for good reason. With city lights illuminating the sky, the party stayed lit from start to finish. I definitely recommend City Cruises Philadelphia to anybody looking for a fun wedding venue that stands out from the rest.

We had booked a tour during the lunch on a Sunday. There was a buffet options for food. The food could have been better but the drinks were good. The best part was the view. The second and third floor deck had nice open chairs and sofa seats. You can take the food from the dinning hall and can sit on these chairs as well.

We cruised on the Rendezvous to celebrate our wedding shower and I wish I could give 100 stars!!! Brie was absolutely amazing and so helpful during our initial tour and making updates to our contract. Tiffany was an absolutely wonderful contact and made our day PERFECT. She was there whenever we needed her and we just loved her being there for us for the day. The brunch buffet was out of this world - the food was hot and delicious and the variety was great for a diverse group of people. The DJ played the perfect music (without any help from us) and kept our party going to the very end. Rob helped the future bride and groom with food and drinks and kept things moving during brunch (and provided the bride with the captain’s hat!!!). Every single piece of staff was lovely and friendly and just made our day extra special. We can’t thank you all enough for making our cruise so perfect. All of our guests are still raving to us how impressed they were with the Rendezvous and experience altogether. We will remember our cruise for forever! THANK YOU!!!

Went on the signature dinner cruise in September for anniversary. There is parking next to the dock for $20 which is steps away from boarding. While waiting, we were able to have our picture taken by a photographer. The cruise has multple viewing decks, which some are open and some are covered, so it’s enjoyable experience regardless of the weather. The buffet food and desserts were great and we kept going back for more. We had a few alcoholic drinks and got to keep the souvenir cups. There is also a DJ and a dance floor. By the end of the night, there was an option to purchase professional pictures which were taken prior to boarding which came out great! Would definitely plan to come again for another cruise.

My wife shared our 35th anniversary on a dinner cruise on the Delaware River. The experience was amazing and so much fun. The food drinks and service were great but the view was the best. It was amazing just getting out to experience our special day in such a special way. Thats for making our day wonderful.

Nice experience, weather was beautiful! Staff was great, except our waitress at the end asked for a tip which was weird, I’ve never been Asked before, we usually just leave it on the table but maybe things are different here; really put a bad vibe on a good night we had. Food was ok, drinks were ok, little over priced but overall experience good.

Beautiful night. The music was nice, the crowd was awesome. Staff were nice also but the food was mediocre. I would definitely do it again and I very highly recommend it.

We took this excursion as part of a mini vacation to Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. I was expecting to view the harbor attractions and have a nice meal. The tour was enjoyable, the food was adequate but this is definitely not a tourist attraction. The majority of guests aboard are locals who are celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, etc and it was largely just a party boat. While the trip we were on was my birthday present to myself, I didn't book it to party. Our server was attentive and our seat mates to the left of us were friendly, so we had fun but it was not at all what I was expecting. If you want dinner and a party atmosphere, this is it. If you are looking for a tourist excursion, I would suggest doing more research.

We had a great time on the brunch cruise. I bought the tickets as a birthday gift for my friend and we had a good time. The food was buffet style and not bad. The drinks were a little overpriced but also good. It did seem like they were lacking a bit in staff. Was the boat took off we didn't see our waitress again and we had been hoping for at least water refills. The only had one person seating on each deck so loading took some time but it was okay. We were able to park right next to the port very easily. A bit pricey for an experience but very fun.

Went for a dinner cruise for a family member’s birthday. Was definitely a unique experience and we had fun, but I don’t think we’ll do it again. The buffet style food was just okay (either totally underseasoned, or had WAY too much salt), it took FOREVERRRR to get drinks from either the servers at the table or directly at the bar, and the entire ship really just needs a good, thorough deep cleaning. And because it’s on the waterfront, parking is a pain. Got some cool pictures from the deck once we were moving, but I think it was a once and done experience for us.

Great food, music and staff were very attentive and pleasant.

The cruise was nice , we stressed more over the attire than we needed too but it all worked itself out and the ride staff and food was great very nice , I would highly recommend taking the spirit of Philadelphia cruise

Amazing experience bringing in the 2024 New Year on the Spirit of Philadelphia with my honey. Will most definitely book again! Awesome keep up the good work, staff was awesome loved Alina or waitress for the platinum package experience!

Delicious food. Good dj music. Drinks were very expensive and the service was ok. Nicer boat cruise overall.

The food was so much and delicious. The service was excellent. There all different ages and backgrounds of people dancing. There were a variety of music for everyone. My friends and I danced and had so much fun. We later went on deck to take pictures with the beautiful view behind us.

Guidelines followed. Food was great music was amazing!

Great crew affordable informative tour its my go to chill boat ride in Philadelphia wonderful views

Mermaid Party drink was delicious but could've used more alcohol. Friendly awesome service and the food was delicious. The views were beautiful. 2nd time taking my wife, both times for her birthday. The dinner cruise is longer and worth the price.

Beautiful boat, great music. Had fun and met awesome people!

Liked it. Dance floor is tiny and outdoors is limited. Long "cruise" with not enough activities. More for the elderly

Always a great time. Food was good. Perfect for a night out with my husband/best friend.❤️❤️

My first time on the cruise it was fun. The food was just ok nothing spectacular! The weather was nice a bit cold to be expected! I would have given this place 4 stars but the Dj was bad I love to dance he played 4 good songs to dance to
