A wonderful evening, the crew was very professional and accommodating! We had perfect weather and the band was sensational! Could have had a bigger premium beer selection and the catered food was a bit of a disappointment, but that wouldn't deter me from booking again 👍

We enjoyed the boat ride. Everyone was so nice. Well worth the money. Just a leisurely trip down the river and into the bay.

First time I went on a dinner cruise on the Princess Wenona. I had been on the history tours during the day and thought I'd try this. The Josh Ramses band was wonderful!! Lots of energy and just the kinds of songs I enjoy. Kryziaks did the food and as usual it was delicious!!! Went a little way out into the Bay and reminded me of how beautiful our area is. I would high recommend it. I will definitely do it again!!!

We had a wonderful time on the Princess Wenonah. I didn't know Bay City had two light houses. The weather was perfect!
