My husband two kids and I booked this brunch cruise for a birthday celebration. My son and I were celebrating our birthdays. We were seated at a nice table by the window. Our waitress was very kind. We paid a significant amount extra for the “platinum open bar”. Upon inquiring what the platinum open bar included (because nowhere in the literature could we find what the platinum open bar actually was) our waitress pointed to the drink menu and said “anything on this menu” which was cocktails, sodas, bottles of wine etc. We ordered a bottle of wine and were told they no longer had it (along with many other bottles of wine). Finally we settled on a bottle that was not our ideal choice but it was fine. When it was time to leave we were told that actually the platinum open bar only included two drinks and souvenir champagne flutes. Needless to say we had to pay for the bottle of wine that we were told was included even though it was not. We never received our champagne flutes. I also mentioned that it was my birthday and my son‘s birthday. I was told that they were only allowed to give one piece of cake, not two. My son enjoyed his single piece of cheesecake about 20 minutes after arrived since they promised to light the candle. It took 20 minutes to return with a lighter to light the candle. We also received the buffet meal which was OK. Included with our extra fees we were “given” a shrimp cocktail. However when we received the shrimp cocktail we did not receive any additional silverware or napkins (which we had run out of after the Buffet meal)…So we had nothing to eat the shrimp with. The kids enjoy the dj music and dance floor. This is a cruise advertised as a lake Michigan cruise. In actuality, the boat leaves the dock and makes a very short trip directly in front of the dock (with beautiful views of the skyline I will admit) and returns to the dock. You Never really enter the lake itself. Otherwise the boat left much to be desired, much rust and missing paint on the exterior deck, the bathroom walls were literally held together with some sort of duct tape, only one sink in the bathroom is functional. Was it worth almost $700? NOPE…Do not book.

Dustin Delaforet | Oct 27, 2018

Most are dressed casually stylish. The ship is presented like a cruise ship with lots of wood, carpeted stairs, marble and tile. Food is good, atmosphere festive. An upscale evening for two

David Burian | Oct 26, 2021
Ken Imasurvivor | Oct 26, 2021

There should be three, also I'm pretty sure you can ask them not to include black pepper in your dish. I went on the dinner cruise down the Chicago River. The staff are super friendly I would just ask when you get there.

If you can get a call into the dockside ticket office they could probably ship you one. Problem is they use a clearing house type ticket office and that is he main line you call into. Good luck!

How much is a beer?

Robin-Christopher Meyer | Oct 27, 2019

Tour in another language?

Bronislovas Ilevicius | Oct 27, 2019
Ruth Chisum | Oct 27, 2019

Not that I know and I don't recall reading about it either. However, the ride is more about the thrill and the views than the tour. You can enjoy it without the narrative. If you're looking for a tour with deep, historical info, do the river tour instead. The Sea Dog is more for thrills and fast rides! I have done both tours and I recommend both.

Do you pay in full at time of reservations? If some can't make it last minute, can we get a refund for unused tickets?

Bruce S | Oct 27, 2019
Kai Kai | Oct 27, 2019

I believe so. Don't quote me on it but I would say call Navy Pier and tell them the situation with the tickets and then you can see where they go from there.
