Fun and affordable
This is my second ride this summer. That should say a lot about the over all expenses. It was so fun and the food was delicious. The crew and captain all very personable and kind. I will ride again, if the Lord allows.

Sternwheeler Brunch Cruise
This was a very relaxing morning. The brunch had a variety of dishes and pastries. There was even a bar for specialty drinks like Captain's coffee ☕. The views were spectacular with the Captain telling about the history of Columbia Gorge. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Overall, a great experience.

Again this year we did the dinner cruse. It wasn't a good as last year. The steelhead was good but the steamed veggeies were undercooked and tough, had to use a steak knife to cut and couldn't eat most. The mac and cheese was over cooked and dry, not creamy. The garlic bread was cold and so tough you had a hard time even tearing it apart. The wine was the same price but at $10 for a SMALL glass, it should be FULL, not half full. I don't know if they were understaffed or what but it was a little disorganized to say the least. Not much service going on. We wanted our salad first but there were no plates on the salad table so I had to cut through the line to grab two plates. When I did this, the chef/server, a tall man wearing a white apron and hat and had a Euopean accent snapped at me and told me not to take a plate, VERY rude. I explained to him I wanted two plates for the salad, he still said no. REALLY? What was I supposed to put the salad on? Most people wanted their salad and bread first and on a seperate plate. I ignored him and took two plates, WHAT was the harm? There was only one size plate. If he didn't want that, WHY didn't he put plates on the salad table, THAT should be an obvious thing to do. As an 80 year old woman, I don't appreciate being repromanded by someone half my age for taking a plate, and am NOT at all happy about it. While we do enjoy the cruise, I don't think we'll be back for the dinner cruise, maybe try a different one.
