Fun trip with our family which included 2 kids. Staff is very good and so sweet! Michael was excellent and the DJ very receptive. Food was good. Only disappointment was direction of the cruise. It did not go into the tidal basin to see the memorials as advertised.

Great experience for the whole family ! Easy entry, great food, great DJ! It’s really a 3 hour total time versus a 2 hour. I was surprised that you eat while the boat isn’t moving, but that was fine.
Great time, food was great and music was great as well . Wait staff excellent , fun friendly . The mimosas great.
Everyone enjoyed. The food and music was great . The boat was clean -would recommend the AC being serviced or more units .
We had a wonderful time on the cruise. The staff were friendly, the food was good, and the views were beautiful. It was a relaxing and enjoyable experience, and we would definitely recommend it.
Top notch. It was very well organized. The staff was friendly. The food & drinks were good When I visit DC again this will be on my itinerary
Staff was amazing. Food was on point. True definition of bottomless. Remini was rhe best!!! When I return, I want to be in her section.
We had a great time. I would advise guests to let the hotess noknow if you consume alcohol or not. One of our guests drank orange juice that already had alcohol in it.
I went there on a trip by myself and I found everyone to be really friendly and helpful it was the Fourth of July and I sort of expected people to be snippy but now they were very very nice the food was great and so is the desserts and lots of air conditioning:)
My family and I had such a good time with good food and music! Will be doing it again! Definitely recommend!
Getting on the boat and knowing which boat was actually the one that we were supposed to be on was difficult…however once on the boat and seated we had an awesome time! Great food, great DJ’s and a great atmosphere!
Don’t expect a narrated cruise of passing landmarks. The food was very good. Tables are assigned, so you don’t have to worry about getting to the launch so early to pick your table. The DJ music wasn’t too loud, and a good mix of current R&B. Being able to go outside on the walk-way made it easy to take pics with landmarks in the background. It was a warm day, so even though the boat had air conditioning, the mostly glass top and sides let a lot of sunlight and heat shining in.
I had an amazing time. The staff, food, mimosas and sights were amazingggg. Would recommend again. The lines to get in were a bit confusing though.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My friend and I had a wonderful experience on the Odyssey Brunch Cruise. The entire cruise was enjoyable, but a special thank you goes to Latisha R. for making our day so memorable. Latisha provided exceptional service and made us feel like we were the only guests on the boat. She honored every request with a smile and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Her attentiveness, professionalism, and kindness truly made the experience worthwhile. Thank you, Latisha, for helping create such a wonderful memory for us. We had an amazing time and look forward to coming back again in the future!
The Odyssey boat is glass enclosed and relatively cozy, allowing for all-weather comfort and not too big of a crowd. The boat was clean, the staff incredibly pleasant, and the food fine. There is a dance floor and a DJ, which, along with just the crowd noise, gets very loud. But it was a fun atmosphere and you can go outaide and enjoy more quiet and a nice view and breeze. We had a great time and would recommend.
Great narrative and very friendly. They took great care of everyone and communicated very clearly about sites and instructions to ensure nobody got lost.
Great food and plenty of it! Mimosas were also never ending! Wonderful courteous service. Good music. Well worth every penny.
It was a great time, the food was damn good, the server we had was great he kept out glass full at all times. The staff was so friendly, and the DJ Rich was on point. He had the vibes going the whole time. Oh an let me not forget the young ladies that took the pictures, they we very professional and the pictures are beautiful. Mine was 43 dollars if you want your pictures. It's one thing I think they need to do is add the boat name to the tickets so you know what line to stand in. I recommend you go, me and my hubby will be back. Great. Experience!!
Absolutely horrible, you pay extra for VIP you do get pre-boarding, but where they sit you are the last to go through the buffet. By the time you get up there, the food is cold no dessert. Boat seriously needs a complete redo. Just a horrible experience. They tell you on the email you board at 10:30 so you get there and boarding is not till 11. And you get the answer oh I know we need to change the website seriously that should’ve been done immediately you had elderly people out waiting in the cold no place to sit just a horrible experience like I mentioned. For $800 you got screwed.
Advertised as $91 person, charged me like $250 for two people. Really crappy buffet (like eggs out of a carton and the meat was over cooked and flavorless. You couldn't see much from the water or hear the tour when you went outside, the mimosa’s were good but my partner doesn't drink, there was dancing and song like Wobbel and cupid shuffle… just way too expensive to be enjoyable
Good food...desserts were good...DJ was entertaining...nice crowd.. good staff .... parking is limited
It’s was a great day just wish we could have left the dock I would go again and the next time I’ll bring my family
This was so much fun for my family and I. The food was good, the music was good and we really loved the DJ Rick!
Great experience! The food was good, the boat was nice and the atmosphere and music were fun!! I read the reviews before booking so I knew to not expect a quiet brunch atmosphere. We had a really good time and the staff were very attentive.
The food was great. The wait staff was great. The music was awesome. the cruise was extremely clean and beautiful. The trip exceeded our expectations.
Great experience! Wonderful buffet, dancing, drinks and alternatives for those who may not partake. Great birthday present for my wife!
Great overall experience! Lots of food! Do was well rounded and kept the atmosphere live! Bartenders kept the mimosas coming!
Def was not worth the money I def had a wayyy better experience in Chicago staff wasn’t friendly at all food wasn’t good just wasn’t a good experience
Great food. We didn’t expect the party atmosphere with music and dancing.We loved it! Dress up and prepare to have fun. Oh, and the views from the boat were great
From the time we were broading, the buffet, to the music, waiter and Dj it was an AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! Will definitely be doing this cruise more often. Very organized and every EMPLOYEE WAS SOOOOO PROFESSIONAL and HELPFUL, thank you so much for a great experience and will be seeing you all again very soon
A fun time on the water. Staff - friendly, great variety of food to choose from. DJ played great dance music. I would suggest stating to go to Pier 4 to meet to make it easier to find. Was a great time away from the city!
Bring your appetite and your happy self! Something for everyone! A smooth ride and great views of DC and VA!
Erica was our waitress and she was sweet as gold. The staff were amazing. ❤️❤️❤️ The food was good. I could not have asked for for a better experience.
Good food and good music and nice staff. Chef Wanda and our server Erica are amazing! They made the experience more enjoyable.
The ship and crew were phenomenal. The food was incredibly delicious. The atmosphere was in very loud party mode. So loud I couldn’t talk to my husband at the table. Literally. If not for the loudness of the music and the big crowd, we would do it again. Had no idea it would be that crazy and loud.
The description of the cruise “Capture unforgettable images of the DC skyline while relaxing at your private table, then savor coffee or tea as you enjoy views of the capital city’s elegant cityscape.” Indicated a calm River cruise enjoying the landscape. It was anything but that. It was a loud, obnoxious, dance party…so loud that we couldn’t even stay at our table and was forced to stand outside in the 95 degree heat. If you are looking for a party atmosphere at 11 in the morning then this is your cruise. Not what was advertised.
It was awesome experience our waiter Wayne was exceptionally attentive!!!!!! The whole staff was amazing
The best time! Good food, lots to eat and drink, good DJ, friendly staff. I definitely recommend this brunch. Was the highlight of my trip.
The staff is great. They kept the champagne coming. The food was good. It was not as much of a variety like it was when I took a group in June. The DJ was good. My group of 10 had a fantastic time. You will enjoy it.
Be prepared for a good time and good food. The staff was helpful and the DJ was great. Kids can come, but it’s better for kids 13 and older.
The food and staff were great. But nowhere in the description does it say there will be 2 very very loud DJs. The music was unbearable. No way could we sit at our table and enjoy food and coffee. Talking was not possible. We were lucky to find a spot outside. But if the weather had not have been good we would have been trapped in there. The description for this cruise needs to be updated. It’s not at all appropriate for kids and families.
Very clean and comfortable hotel visit, great view 👌, the service was excellent and the food bar was delicious
Very welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious, the DJ was on point & the mimosas never stopped!!
The crew was friendly, fun and professional. DJRich is a great entertainer. The food was good. The views were great
All of the workers that I encountered were very nice and welcoming! The food was amazing and the DJ was awesome! 10/10 I highly recommend.
The best time I’ve had in a long time. So much fun. The staff is the best. Music, food, drinks, ambience, water, sights.
Absolutely a blast!!! The food was wonderful and the staff were fun and friendly!!! Highly recommend this cruise!
If you looking for a midday fun o celebrate a birthday this is the right place. Food and drinks are good.
