Savannah Riverboat Cruises, Savannah

No parking, drunk people every where, no kid friendly food, and nothing pretty to look at.

I should have read the reviews before I went. This was me and my husband's first anniversary and we really wanted to have a great time. I have to admit that the cruise wasn't a complete bust but the food was the worst. I never had such bad food in my entire life. The chicken was dry, bread was dry, and the shrimp was over cooked. There was not enough choices for the amount of money we paid. We got the anniversary package which includes cake, flowers, and wine. Well the cake was a little bigger than a cupcake, the wine was cheap and flower(s) turned out to be (flower). Our server John was very nice but we won't be going back.

After reading many lukewarm reviews about the riverboat I was a little apprehensive, since I had already purchased tickets for my family. We took this boat ride for my daughter's birthday, and decided to forego the meal to eat at a local restaurant, so this was strictly for sightseeing. We live locally but recently moved here, and I was still enthralled with the local scenery. I was not expecting much, after all this is a RIVER boat tour. I enjoyed seeing the ships, bridges and the narrator had the perfect voice for the job. The crew was kind also. I was surprised that there was a snack board on the top deck where we could purchase drinks, as it was extremely hot out that day. The water kept a nice breeze blowing onto the top deck and we sat and took many photos of the passing barges and tugboats. Overall it was an enjoyable hour spent with my family and my daughter really enjoyed it, as well as the rest of us! As long as you aren't expecting to see Italian or French scenery you will enjoy this tour.

All I can say is BAD FOOD, TERRIBLE PLAYERS, TOOOOO Expensive for what you get. Stay away at all cost. There is a lot to do in The Beautiful City of Savannah, find something else .......

. Last week my husband and I and my sister took a long weekend in Savannah. We enjoy the history and culture of the city .We made the horrible decision to go on the Gullah cruise on Thursday Night. The back ground music was loud you could not hear yourself or anyone else talk. We thought there would music, dancers and storey tellers, what they had was 2 ladies with straw hats, 3 bored teenagers and one loud woman that after about 10 mns you wished would go away. Most guests left the dining area and went on desk, which was the only way to enjoy this cruise! The food was on the level of a bad school lunch room. Pork chops were burnt, cabbage wasn’t cook, shrimp in brown gravy ….. Save your money, your hearing and your time. Go on a Ghost Walk.

My husband and I came to Savannah for our 1 year anniversary. We enjoyed every bit of the city...except this dinner cruise. We wanted to do something special on the night of our anniversary so we bought tickets. It started raining right around boarding time and it went downhill from there with these NON refundable tickets. We boarded the boat and the two of us got seated in the middle of a 6 seat table? The "live music" they claimed to have was actually a man with a keyboard, boom box, and some shakers. It sounded like a joke, but sadly it wasnt. We noticed most people around us looked just as uncomfortable as we did! We could not take the environment and ended up throwing the $110.00 and getting off the boat before it departed. THANK GOD. Getting off that boat was the best idea we had! SAVE YOUR MONEY! Go to The Olde Pink House or anywhere else and please do NOT attempt to do this for a special occasion!

We had our wedding reception aboard the vessel. We couldn't not have expected anything more! Our group charter consultant Christie was simply phenomenal! She answer every single one of my millions of questions with a professional and prompt reponses. When aboard the ship the crew was simply a pleasure. They were helpful, professional but most of all kind. Being the bride, they helped calm my nerves and allowed me to simply enjoy the day. Several of our guests left the ship saying "This is the best wedding I have ever attended!" Wow! That is a tribute to the crew of the Savannah Riverboat. I would defintely recommend booking this ship for your next wedding or special event!!

I don't know what these ppl are complaining about, I loved the cruise sooo much. The food was great, the entertainment was awesome!!! Had the time of my life, I highly recommend this trip for all people who love to have fun dancing and dining the night away!! Totally worth the time and money! Thank you savannah riverboat cruises!

My wife and I were on our honeymoon last week in Savannah, and we heard about this and thought it would be perfect. We stopped in the Riverboat office on River St. I was asking the person about the cruises and told her we were on our honeymoon. She told us the "Moonlight Cruise" would be perfect for us, "Romantic cruise down the river, nice music for romantic dancing, drinks available, and a complimentary picture". Well that wounded great. As we got to the ticket taker he told us our tickets were good for ANYWHERE on the 2nd or 3rd deck. Then we had our picture taken. As it was very hot, we decided we'd start off sitting in the air conditioned area on the 2nd deck. We were quickly and rudely told unless we were there for the private party to get out. We then made it to the 3rd deck, and searched to find a nice seat, out on the deck. We finally found one, and not long after the cruise started. I wanted to get us something to drink and it litterally took between 15-20 minutes. There were 2 windows to the bar and 1 bartender alternating. They were out of almost everything, the bartender explaining they ONLY stock the bar once a day. The music played was NOT nice romantic music, but R&B, Hip-Hop and Rap. Also smoking is allowed anywhere on the outside areas, which sucks if you are down wind from it. Lots of young kids running wild. The romantic cruise basically showcases the shipping and wastelands of Savannah. Nothing romantic about it. The following day I went to the office to complain. The manager basically told me it was my fault as its NOT a romantic cruise but a dance party cruise and I should have asked more questions. Then she asked what I wanted. When I told her Id settle for even half a refund she stated that shes only the manager and she cant make a decision like that. She did tell me the owner would be back in 10-15 min. We came back about 20 min later. When I told an employee why I was there they went to get the manager, and she would NOT come out of the back to talk to us, just gave word that the owner never came back. Oh and the "complimentary" photo was $15 CASH ONLY. The bar was also CASH ONLY. This cruise may not be that expensive but it was a complete waste of time and money. We could have done something a lot better than sit on a boat, listen to music we hate, put up with kids running wild, and be treated to sites we'd rather not have seen. I wouldnt have given this cruise any stars but 1 star = awful, from my experience it was more than awful. I wish I had read some of the other reviews here before I went. I dont know how they can get away with calling this a romantic cruise, its anything but. Maybe if you want a Hip Hop Dance party youd like it, but why not go to a club? STAY AWAY FROM THIS CRUISE!!!! IT IS A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY, COMPLETE RIP OFF!!!!

It was horrible in everyway. We were the 1st on the boat after waiting an hour in line and complaining that we wanted on the second boat. Very Very rude people boarding you. We got what we thought were good seats and saw maybe 4 fireworks the whole time because it was overcrowded and everyone was standing to be able to see them and the boat kept turning. The boat was very dirty too, with people smoking and I had 2 little kids. Would never never recommend. I say do I pub crawl instead cheaper and was a lot of fun!
