Volunteer Princess Cruises

We had an absolute blast. Very laid back. We have a monthly date night each month and this was a great hidden Gem! It was close to home. Very reasonable price for a nice cruise dinner an a photo. I can’t say enough about the dinner. I wasn’t sure what was going to be served or how well it would taste, but it was absolutely delicious and we are very big foodies lol. We are very Picky over flavor and freshness. It was so good. We were pleasantly surprised and overly pleased with this experience. Thank you to all the friendly staff. Successful Date night!!!!

We had a great time. The boat was not crowded at all. The dinner was delicious. A nice way to enjoy a dinner out in a unique way. Good for families or couples.

Celebrated my birthday & enjoyed a nice relaxing dinner with my husband on the Volunteer Princess Cruise. The staff was all super friendly & helpful. We highly recommend this cruise.

I recently went on the Dinner Cruise on the Volunteer Princess, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! Our server was fantastic—friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. They also mentioned that the interior had just been updated, and it looks incredible—modern, elegant, and beautifully designed. The fresh new look made the atmosphere even more enjoyable. The dinner was delicious with a variety of well-prepared dishes that exceeded my expectations. The drink selection was also impressive, offering something for everyone to enjoy. Cruising along the water as the sun set was truly memorable—the views were stunning and watching the city lights reflect on the water added a magical touch to the night. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a unique night out, the Volunteer Princess Dinner Cruise is absolutely worth it. I’m already looking forward to booking my next cruise!

Always the best experience with the Volunteer Princess from the food, to the staff, to the captain steering the ship! I can’t say enough about the how special this experience is. Thank you a for the world class night out!

My son had the best time. Food was delicious. Only compliant is it was hot in the cabin with the sun beating down but other than that, we had a blast. Staff super nice and captain was so fun and helpful!

We did the Valentine’s Day Cruise. I would not recommend as a first choice. We did not end up getting hardly any food because once we got to the buffet after the line cleared, almost all the food was gone. We also were not able to choose our own seats and the food was okay. However, the staff was very kind and the set up was nice.

This was so good. Amazing service, amazing food, amazing captain. 10/10 would recommend. And they have music that is so calming and nice to nod your head to. The classics of course. (You need to try the chicken before it is all gone. So good!!!)

Loved our recent New Years Eve trip on the Tennessee River 2024/2025. Food was exceptional and we had a great time. Disappointed that Coffee was not complementary, and $4.50 a cup but all was good. DJ was great but failed to make an announcement at midnight so half the people were celebrating and the other have waiting to be told to celebrate. Worked out ok as the DJ woke up and realized to was 2 minutes past midnight. Could not see well out of the boat as it was nighttime, duh, but had a great tie! I do recommend this cruise and boat. Staff was A+ and chef was exceptional!

Took a cruise this morning to celebrate a couple's 50th Wedding Anniversary. They had their family and friends with them for a cruise of about two hours. The Volunteer Princes sailed from Volunteer Marina down river past Looney Island to Cherokee Boulevard. It then turned around mid-stream and headed back up river to it's dockage. The crew was excellent and the layout was a buffet forward on the first deck with tables aft and a bar on the upper deck with more tables. The boat has restrooms for men and women and plenty of room to move around on the two deck levels.. I heartily recommend the Volunteer Princess and her crew for your next event or occasion. Follow me in Yelp for more to see and do in Knoxville and East Tennessee.

Took my father on the Father's Day Lunch Cruise and we had an amazing time! From the ease of booking the reservation to the friendly, professional crew, to the excellent steak lunch, everything was perfect! Throw in the relaxing stroll down the Tennessee River and the great views of Neyland Stadium and it was a day that my dad and I will never forget! Thank you Volunteer Princess crew for a great day! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a true first class experience in the Knoxville area!

NYE cruise was so nice. We enjoyed dinner and drinks. The staff was awesome and so friendly.

We had an excellent time! The staff was friendly, accommodating, and always ready to assist. The ship was very nice, our table was decorated beautifully. The food was delicious, and they had a great drink selection. Our time in the wheelhouse talking with Captain Chris was fun and getting the chance to take the helm of the ship for a bit was one of the top highlights of the journey. Caroline took a great picture for us to take away as a souvenir. We'll definitely be going again!!

We spent our Valentine's Day/evening cruising the Tennessee River on the Volunteer Princess and what a pleasant experience it was! From the time we arrived and received greetings from the captain and a complementary red rose for my lady, until we were seated, the staff and arrangements were as I had imagined and planned, no disappointments at all! Dinner and drink service was exceptional, and there was plenty of staff members to attend to it all. The ship was very clean and well kept for its age and use. The food was served hot and it was very tasty! Price on drinks was very reasonable. All in all a great experience and highly recommended!

Had a great time on the cruise on a very special daddy daughter date with my little princess.

This was an excellent little cruise, excellent lunch... The staff was very courteous and professional... We enjoyed it immensely... Thanks for a wonderful time!

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on the Tennessee River. We thought the price was reasonable considering the cruise was two hours long and we were served a delicious lunch. The food was much better than I expected. The ride was smooth. Fun sightseeing. Sweet, attentive young woman served our drinks and meal. Chris, who took our phone reservation and piloted the boat was friendly and professional. I highly recommend this cruise for anyone looking for something fun and different to do in Knoxville.

Took 12 of my senior retirement residents on the brunch cruise for an exciting afternoon trip. The walk was quite a distance for them going to the boat, but the real challenges were walking up the hill with their walkers. There was no service to escort then up to the boat or back down. We all were seated at a large table which we enjoyed, but during the meal service we were the last table to get in-line for our food. The selections were one salad bowl which was almost empty, the dressing bowl & fruit bowls were completely gone (I had to ask if they had anymore food). So our residents had to wait for the staff to bring out more items so they could go through the line. Everyone ordered their choice of drinks (tea, water and a few sodas and coffee.) We also had to ask for more deserts since they ran out of that as well. At the end of the meal, we had an additional charge of $33.00 for drinks that we thought were part of the $50.75 meal charge for each of us. The ride itself was lovely and the sights beautiful. But the food was not well prepared or in some cases, none at all.

Absolutely recommend! It's set up so cleanly and decorated so well. Not too crowded and it was easy to get great pictures as we passed bridges along the river. The chicken was so tasty and the food service was swift too. If you need a special dinner where you have nothing to worry about at all, this is where you should go!

Few smiles from the crew. Dinner was sub-par, small portions, salad smaller than most restaurants in the area consisting of iceberg lettuce, 2 cherry tomatoes, and a couple of sliced cucumber with blue cheese dressing. Meat was fair, with only a butter knife to cut. Cod was cod. Veggies had lost their color during cooking. Highlight of the meal was the cheesecake - a decent slice and delicious. Wine list good and reasonable pricing. On this cruise, all tables next to a window, so wasn't necessary to spend the extra $10 for guaranteed window seat. Cruise took place during a home Vols football game and had to pay extra $20 (normally free) to park that wasn't initially listed on website when making reservations. River sights: 9, Ambience: 6, Food: 3 Tom C.

We can't say enough good things about Volunteer Princess. We were a party with 3 middle aged and 2 80-something people. The ride was smooth so nobody lost their footing. Great value for the price. Every seat was a good seat. The waiters were very patient and sweet. The meal was surprisingly good, considering you don't order - the food is brought to you. There was fish plus beef on all the plates. The sights were magnificent and we loved the explanations on the laminated cards. We'd highly recommend.

I am very disappointed with the customer service! My fiance' called two weeks ago to book a cruise. No one answered. Since it was a Sunday, we assumed maybe they were closed or booked. We went to a restaurant downtown, and his phone rang. The booking girl said she was late coming in. She recommended we come during the week. So, today is Thursday. We called every 15 minutes starting at 9 AM until 9:45 AM. No one has responded. So even though I have never been on the Volunteer Princess, it looks like I never will. The website says they open at 9 AM. If the booking person is unreliable to answer the phone on time, maybe they should either change the time or the employee!

Great cruise. Good food, excellent service, wonderful atmosphere. Only negative, I paid $10 extra for a guaranteed window table and ALL tables were at a window. Oh well.

Booked us and put us upstairs after specifically requesting downstairs. Booked large party which turned into a loud booze cruise with a constant procession of folks lined up at the bar to buy drinks. One individual in particular was extremely loud making our dinner conversation almost impossible.

Food was ok, not great. There was no concern for food allergies - no other food choices. The cruise itself could have been longer, the scenery in the beginning was not impressive at all and when we got to the point where it became more scenic the boat turned around.

good job by the captain and crew! Boat could stand a bit of r&r on the interior...

We took the dinner cruise. The "entertainment" was supposed to be background music. There was no music. I wish the captain had pointed out a few sights on the way. The service was good and the food was wonderful, and pretty healthy fare. Pretty expensive for a nondescript river float down and back. Happy 40th Anniversary to the Knoxville World's Fair.

food was terrible, small portions, salad had 3 pieces of lettuce, bread no butter, views we're nothing to talk about...would not recommend!

We were greeted by the captain upon arrival with a smile. We (6 adults and 2 grandkids) were seated at table by the window. Food was great along with desert. Service was awesome. What a way to bring in a new year. Thank you

Went to the 1st Smokey Mountain Moonshine Dinner Cruise and had a blast! Met some great people, loved the drinks and food, the scenery was beautiful. They also did giveaways throughout the night which was fun. It was from 630-830. Was the 1st time my husband and I had been on this but the staff from the cruise and Smokey Moonshine were great! By the end we were full and I am definitely looking forward to going to another one in the future!

Very nice way to see parts of the city and Neyland Stadium. On this day we had an early cruise, it was a crisp cool morning and upon arrival the staff very welcoming and good spirits. The boat itself was clean and everything accessible. The views were nice, food was okay-tailgate food, not breakfast like I had thought from being on cruise so early (9:00 AM), and drinks were delicious! I recommend it to all first-timers to Knoxville, TN.

This was a 7 year wedding anniversary cruise. The staff went over and beyond. The Captain gave one of the best safety briefings that I have ever heard for a ship. I have taken several cruises (mostly overnight cruises and casino cruises) The cruise and scenery was fabulous. We went with the romance package unfortunately neither my husband nor I drink champagne so we requested to change to red wine and they were all to happy to honor our request. My husband and I are foodies with that said I would not give the dinner 5 stars. The dinner was bland and portions small, however the dessert was excellent ! The experience was terrific and we would definitely do the cruise again.

I've been wanting to do one of these ever since I moved to Knoxville 10 years ago. The cruise is really good in theory, but the boat hasn't been maintained, so it's dirty inside and out, the food is well below subpar, there was only one staff member who even remotely smiled and was engaging (shout out to Jerry!), and because the smokers deck is in the front, that makes the back deck miserable from the smell. Even small fixes, like replacing the cheap tables that are visibly broken and peeling and sweeping/mopping the bathroom floors would make a small improvement. I actually laughed out loud when the salad came out. A few pieces of wilted lettuce absolutely drenched in dressing...seemed like it had been pre-made and left to sit for hours on end. The fish was so over cooked, no amount of sauce could cover the texture, the mashed potatoes were clearly instant, the cheesecake was ok (store bought is better). They didn't follow the Covid guidelines that they have on their website (masks, distancing, temp checks)...so if you're overly concerned about Covid, don't do the cruise. The website definitely makes it seem more "safe" than it actually is. Like, it's cool if you don't do those safety precautions, but don't advertise that you do them and cause people to think it's a safe environment for them. Overall, highly disappointing. Definitely past it's prime. With some TLC, it could be improved.

Everything about this was great. The price, the views, the food and most of all, the staff. We had a great time on a sunset dinner cruise. It was excellent. Would highly recommend. Everyone in my party loved it.

I shared this dinner cruise with some colleagues and we had a blast! We had a large group and the staff took great care of us. The scenery was beautiful and the food & drinks were divine! I had the salmon and it was perfection. I enjoyed every bite of every course served! I don't think the staff was prepared for the number of drinks we ordered on such a short cruise but they made it work. We had a delightful time and I would definitely do the cruise again. Kudos to the staff for an amazing evening!

My fiance and I had a great time on the sunset dinner cruise! The food was quite good although the vegetables were a bit too seasoned. The staff were very nice and helpful.

Pros: sightseeing along the river, staff was fantastic Cons: Paid an extra $15 for a window table but discovered when we boarded that all tables were window tables. Food wasn't very good. My chicken portion was very small, mashed potatoes with no topping of any kind. Cheesecake dessert had a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top that tasted exactly like Hershey's from the brown squeeze bottle. Not good. Will not go again but I must praise the staff.

We really enjoyed this cruise on the Tennessee River. The ambience was pleasant, the food was very good, the wait staff was attentive, and the cruise gave a great view of the city. On the negative side, it was very difficult to find the path to the landing, and although we had requested directions in advance they were not very clear, so we had to race downhill to the boat after a valet parking attendant gave us clear directions as we were frantically searching where to go. As senior citizens (average age 77), this proved to be very difficult. I do not think we are likely to take this cruise again, given the difficulty of getting to the launch point and the high price. I do thank the marketing staff for being so very friendly, but no amount of customer service could offset the negatives. The dinner cruise was very pricey, almost $64/person. We might have been able to eat at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse for the price.

Surprised the wife with a birthday cruise for 9. They were super attentive to our every need. They actually read the reservation and accommodate your requests. Staff even had a vegan option available Food was wonderful. I actually expected some generic meal, but I really enjoyed it. Great presentation and tasted prepared instead of warmed over. (You just never know what to expect on a boat) We had a mix up on one of the orders, but the staff immediately caught it. They came to explain the mix up and offered us a solution. You want have any motion issues. The boat is super smooth even while passing ski boats. You CAN pay for any extra drinks or appetizers on the boat. And , if you have any questions about your reservations, don't hesitate to leave a message at their number. They called me back the same morning of my call.

"Welcome aboard!" says the English man who greets you at the entrance of the yacht. He also happens to be the owner of the ship. This is a family run business, with the owner greeting you and smiling at you periodically throughout your meal, as well as overseeing kitchen and service operations. His wife runs the office operations. Son is the Captain. Daughter in law is a little bit of this (on the floor) and a little bit of that (in the office). The yacht was very comfy. Temperature control was ideal. Windows were very clean, tables set nicely, carpets freshly vacuumed. There were fresh lilies in a vase on every table. Valentine's Night offered each lady a complimentary long stem red rose. Price for a Saturday night 2 hour cruise along the TN river was $109.00 for two people. Included was a 3 course meal (which you have no control over: luckily the food was darn good! )that consisted of: Salad: spinach leaves, a few romaine pieces and about a dozen different minutely chopped vegetables, ranging from artichokes, peppers and onions to cucumber and olives served in something slightly larger than a bread dish. The dressing seemed like a light yogurt dressing with minimal flavor, but it was excellent when mixed with the salad. Entree: Chicken Wellington (which the waiter mistakenly told us was Cordon Bleu), along with rosemary roasted red potatoes and a few, and I mean, just a few, sauteed haricot verts and one small piece of broccoli head. Dessert was delicious NY style cream cheese cake with fresh (albeit sugar sweetened) strawberries. I must tell you, although they certainly could have (and should have) been more generous with the salad portion and vegetable side with our entrees, the food was excellent. Tender, moist, flavorful. Coffee was offered at a self service table, however we weren't notified of this. By the end of the cruise, we decided we wanted some and to our disappointment, there was no "regular" left. We settled for a cup of decaf. We each had a glass of wine ($6 each). Woodbridge Cabernet and Reisling, both excellent. Since it got dark pretty fast after we set sail, there wasn't much "sightseeing." If you're not from Knoxville, and just passing through looking for something interesting and different to do, I recommend this during the daytime, or when Daylight savings returns. Otherwise you're basically stuck staring at each other (which isn't so bad sometimes), or outside at artificially lit up rocks and trees (from the lights projected from the cruise ship) and the occasional multimillion dollar house on the water. *Note to management/owners: The women's bathroom was mostly clean, however one of the toilets hadn't been cleaned around the under part of the seat in what seemed to be about 2 weeks. :( Those things need to be checked very carefully.) Gratuity was extra and parking was free next door at Ruth's Chris Steak House.

Kind of disappointing. Paid extra for a window table, yet all the tables were next to the windows. We did the mothers day brunch, the food was ok but not enough. They even ran out of clean plates. Not a lot of choices. For the price I would been better of going to Ruth Chris oe something like that and gotten better food and more value.

Nice way to enjoy the evening with friends. Staff was friendly and efficient. Enjoyed the beautiful scenery surrounding the Tennessee River. It was my husband's birthday and he had so much fun. Restroom was clean, air-conditioned comfort while dining, food was better than expected. Can't wait to go again.

Great river cruise!! The captain was very friendly along with the staff and lunch was fabulous! The staff was very attentive and waited on us very promptly. We came as a group of 6 and got to sit by the bar upstairs. This was our first visit and we hope to go again whenever we have friends visiting from out of town.

Absolutely Fantastic. Trip was awesome. Food is excellent from starter to desert. 5 stars for the new chef. Staff was friendly, We went for a 2 hour dinner cruise and the views was spectacular. Highly recommended in Knoxville

Overall this was a lot of fun. The food was just ok. They did run out of tea before we finished eating. The chicken dish was the best option. The pork was dry and bland. It wasn't medallions. I gave four stars for the trip part of this trip. Great scenery.

We hosted our company Christmas party on the Volunteer Princess on Saturday December 10. We did the murder mystery cruise and could not have asked for a better experience! The staff were so friendly and attentive. We were on a 3 hour cruise and it's true when they say time flies when you're having fun, before we knew it the night was over. We even had a few people solve the mystery! If you're looking for something new and different I highly recommend the Volunteer Princess. Erin and Nikki were wonderful!! We had a group of about 55, who had never done a murder mystery before, and they really took care of us. Everything flowed perfectly and we were all impressed!

The food was ok. The service was fair. The drinks from the bar were weak and expensive ( who puts a margarita in a martini glass? ). We docked to watch fireworks which is not what we expected at all. Also we paid an extra 10$ for a picture, that they came by and snapped at the table. It was printed on computer paper and put in a 50 cent frame. Horrible picture. Not worth the money at all . Wouldn't do it again.

I had a chance to dine and cruise with the wonderful Volunteer Princess staff!! I made a last minute trip to Knoxville and decided to tour with them this past weekend! They were professional and VERYYYYY friendly/welcoming! We were greeted by the amazing captain who remembered our name from making a reservation. ALL staff were sweet and professional. The boat was very clean and the food was DELICIOUS! I have used the other TN Riverboats and this was by far the best experience! Will definitely use them again! Was worth every penny! Thank you all for making strangers family!!!

The service and the food was all wonderful. It was amazing how fast the two hours went bye.

The food was very good and we enjoyed the boat. It made for a very romantic evening. I loved watching her smile so much when we boarded. Totally worth it!!

We had such a wonderful time. The service was wonderful and the food delicious. We have been on many times before and have never been disappointed. Such a fun and beautiful experience.

We went on a dinner cruise on September 4, 2016. We arrived approximately a half hour early. Cruise was supposed to depart at 6:30 pm. There was a party of twenty that was late as they went to the wrong boat. All of the other passengers were on board. The captain waited 20 minutes for this other party to board. I think the captain should not have waited for them at the expense of the other passengers that were on time. We were told the cruise was going to go 20 minutes longer because we waited for these rude passengers. This did not happen and we docked at 8:30pm. The food and the service was good and cruising was nice.

This is a difficult review for me to endeavor upon. First, let me say that the staff and captain (who is one of the owners, if I understood correctly) were fantastic. Attentive, pleasant, friendly. I went on a brunch cruise which was priced at $39.95 per person. I thought upon booking that that was a very reasonable rate for a 1.5 hour cruise departing from Volunteer Landing, traveling to just about Sequoyah Hills Park, then returning to the Landing. We were greeted by the Captain upon boarding, then were checked in just inside the deck. My party was seated upstairs at a lovely table. The upstairs has several small tables, a bar, and a few additional tables on the upper outdoor deck. The interior is climate controlled and very comfortable. The tables were set simply but lovely. You receive a drink ticket with your booking so we started with mimosas on the deck. Soon we departed and headed in the direction of campus, along Neyland. If you've never seen the city or the homes of Sequoyah Hills from the water you are missing out. It's really interesting (sidenote, it makes for a great canoe trip too). Soon thereafter, it was announced that the buffet was open. Here's where things got sketchy. To be blunt, this was some of the grossest food I had ever seen or eaten. Not like the area was dirty or nasty, just the food itself was of a quality that really turned me off. I was not expecting anything gourmet on this trip (especially for $39.99), but I did expect better than this. I'm pretty sure there was a chafing dish of canned ham. there were some cold dinner rolls. A salad that was fine. Some weirdly-textured sausage patties, an egg casserole that was gummy and hard to cut. Some type of potato dish that at first looked like kraft mac and cheese. Mostly, everything just seemed like poorest quality frozen or canned food. It was really disappointing and awful. I feel like with a little work they could probably do something much fresher and tastier with whatever their food budget is. Given the price, you still get a good experience on this trip. The friendliness of staff, cleanliness, views from the yacht during the trip, etc. are all pluses. But this trip is marketed to include food,and if I wanted simply to see the sights I could do it on one of the other boats as a sight-seeing tour for much cheaper. I would do this again if the food were better, but as it is, I think it's one and done for me.

My wonderful hubby surprised me with a dinner cruise aboard the Volunteer Princess for our 20th anniversary. From the very beginning everything was amazing. He'd ordered the Gold package with an amazingly delicious crab and artichoke dip appetizer. The additional package really made it special. When we arrived we were greeted and helped aboard the ship by the captain and all the crew members were so polite and friendly. We checked in and were led to our table by the cruise director. I noticed the table settings were quite elegant, crisp white table cloths and flowers at each table. The lighting made the ship look even more beautiful than it already was. Now, our table isn't your typical table, so keep that in mind if you reserve a "regular" seat. Our "gold package" table was at the very front of the boat so we we're treated to a wonderful view the entire trip. The table was covered with (real) red rose petals and set with a chilled bottle of champagne and a vase with six beautiful multicolored roses (pinkish white with deeper red edges on the petals) accented with baby's breath with a sheer pink ribbon tied around the vase. I got to take those home as part of the package. There was a small white box tied with the same ribbon that had four very large chocolate dipped strawberries in it. They'd obviously just been set out because they were still a bit cool and amazingly juicy. Our appetizer arrived shortly after we were seated and was nice and hot. It was decadent and cheesy with the perfect amount of crab and served with tortilla chips. Shortly after we left the dock, the salad was served. It was a good sized caesar salad with a very tasty dressing and yummy croutons that soaked it up wonderfully. I usually don't order Caesar salads but this one was really good. When you reserve the dinner cruise you are given a choose of entrees. Our choices were salmon in sweet chili sauce, bacon wrapped chicken, pork tenderloin, or a vegetarian dish. Hubby had presented these options to me a couple days in advance without telling me why so I'd chosen the salmon. I had just recently discovered I like salmon so I was anxious to try it again. This salmon was amazing! The fish was cooked perfectly and a good sized portion. The sauce was great as well. You could see the chili pepper in the sauce but it wasn't really a spicy dish. The sauce was actually sweet with little punches of heat throughout but but they went away quickly so it didn't leave your mouth burning. Hubby's chicken was very moist and tasty. There was a kind of gravy style sauce I over it that we weren't expecting but it added a good flavor and wasn't overly heavy. The smashed potatoes and veggies on the side were a nice compliment as they accented the dished but didn't overpower them. In between courses were walked around the ship and even went to the pilot house and talked to the captain. He's a really friendly guy and loves just hanging out talking with the guests while he steers the ship. He have us some history on the boat and explained how the thrusters on the side help stabilize the boat as well as make the docking and undocking process much easier. It was really interesting when we pulled away from the dock by doing a 180 on the water without moving forward. After talking with him, we went back to our table for desert. We were both pretty full by this time but that apple pie was soooo good. And you could tell it was made with fresh apples. They still had texture to them, I love that. It was served warm with a caramel drizzle anda scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. A perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Also included in our package was a glass framed phot taken and printed on the ship. We were able to choose where and when to have the photo taken so we had a beautiful backdrop against the lush Tennessee greenery surrounding the river and the photo was delivered to our table shortly after desert while we were enjoying the weather on the deck of the boat. They give you free reign to wander anywhere you want on the ship so you can really experience the whole thing. Maybe part of the reason I enjoyed it so much was because of the surprise factor from my hubby and the wonderful extras he paid for, but it really enjoyed this experience and fully recommend it to anyone looking for something special to do in the Knoxville area.

It was 380 for 2 of us (and a drink ticket), and we did not feel like we got our money's worth. Aside from it raining, they didn't have enough lettuce for everyone to get a salad (even though they knew the amount of ppl that were going to be on the boat), appetizers were cold, and the staff was nice, but kinda unprofessional. Overall, it was just a very underwhelming experience. Maybe riding during the day and without rain would've made a difference.

We had a great time celebrating my husband's birthday on the Volunteer Princess. The staff was super friendly, the food better than expected and everything was prepared exactly as described.

Love, love, love this package! My husband birthday is the week of Father's Day. They didn't skip a beat making it special for him. The other customers we sailed with were equally impressed with the food, and service! Come hungry, they leave you stuffed beyond! Look forward to rebooking with them!
