    Ms jan and jelly roll my nephew

    we sailed the shores on July 18 2025 with family from Philadelphia, New York Chicago Atlanta, South Korea, Birmingham, of our family reunion We had a slight bump in the road, but when we called and reported our slight bump the road, Rick was very understanding and compensated us very well. Will a good time three again yes we would. There's a great staff there the waitress that took care of our area. We didn't get his name, but he's a very perky guy very warm feeling and I for having us all aboard. See you next year.

    Competition! This is also a picture from the cruise on the river

    This was terribly disorganized. I bought a VIP ticket that included a swag bag certain seating and a separate line for early entrance onto the boat. When I got there, no one had any idea what was going on, including the gentleman who had sent me the email during the day to inform me that that line was there for us to get in line to board early. I was repeatedly told that I would get my swag bag when I get off and they gave me a wooden nickel to hand it to it. When I got off the boat, there's no one to hand it to and the story had changed yet again to tell me that the swag bags would be mailed. Still haven't heard from anybody and we are now five days later. The cruise was a good time, so I would say this boat is properly named, but these people are very disorganized. They ran out of toilet paper, the bathrooms were not maintained during the boat and it was pretty gross. If you're looking to just get drunk and ride around on Lake Erie for a couple of hours then go for it but if you're looking for something that was promised to you by the management of good time three, go somewhere else. These people are clueless. And if you read this good time management, please send me a full refund! If not, I'll be getting one anyways!!'

    Signage to follow after you buy tickets.

    Entertaining and enjoyable experience! We paid for the 2 hour excursion online and I'm glad we did. Once we arrived at the ticket office, we just had to pick up our tickets at the will call window. We didn't need to wait in the ticket sales line. There was plenty of room on board for everyone on board. I never felt like it was too crowded as it was easy to move around the boat. If one chooses to listen to the narration, you can learn a lot about the history of Cleveland and the Cuyahoga River. This is an excellent experience for taking great photos if you are into photography. The staff was welcoming and friendly. We were thanked for riding on the Goodtime III!

    Narrated Sightseeing Cruise (16 September 2018)
    Agnes I.

    I went on a Sunday afternoon cruise on 16 September 2018. I got a free ticket from a friend so I went with her (Joyce). The specific tour that I went on was a narrated sightseeing tour which occur Tuesdays through Sundays at 12:00pm and at 3:00pm. There are also lunch cruises and dinner cruises as well. Normal tickets for the tour I went on (sightseeing tour) is $20 for adults and then there are discounted tickets for Senior citizens, children, and groups over 20. EXPERIENCE - I had a fantastic time sailing through the Cuyahoga River and Laker Erie while learning a ton about the history of the region. Lake Erie is the 13th largest lake in the WORLD and the 4th largest of the 5 Great Lakes. Quick pop quiz (test): name all the 4 other Great Lakes. And GO! The views of downtown Cleveland from the Ship and just enjoying the cool afternoon breeze was spectacular. The entire cruise was 2 hours which is a good amount of time out on the lake. So grab a book to read, take plenty of photos, eat, or chat with a friend. You'll enjoy it. LAYOUT and FOOD - This quadruple-deck ship is large so there will be plenty of room for you to sit. The capacity is 1000 people. Each floor is laid out differently with a restroom on the bottom floor. I believe the first 2 floors are indoors with air conditioning. These floors are also where you can buy snacks (popcorn and maybe chips) as well as water and other drinks. I also noticed that burgers were on sale. The 2nd floor has an area where you can stand or sit outside the ship as well. The next 2 decks are open (no roof) so you can actually stand out and get a clear view of the Lake whilst taking beautiful photos. OVERALL & TIPS - This is a favourite summertime activity for many local residents and I'm so happy that I finally experienced a Goodtime III cruise. Browse the website (https://goodtimeiii.com) for any updated schedule information especially the new 2019 schedules. Also, arrive 10-15 mins early because the ships departs exactly ON TIME. There is a paid parking lot right where the ship docks and departs from so you won't have to park far unless you arrive late in which case there is a free parking lot behind the Cleveland Browns stadium. Service on this cruise was great and the narrator was very detailed in describing so many interesting facts about Cleveland. I'll definitely have to come back to experience some other cruises. **** This is my 145th Yelp review overall. 99 reviews for 2018. I am aiming for 100 reviews in 2018. Reviewed on 4 November 2018.

    Everyone had one bite then stopped eating it. Such a waste.

    See all

    Lady Caroline is a Cleveland cruise devoted to dining and celebrations. The cruise offers…read moreindividual tickets and private reservations. I joined a private cruise. I was expecting an elevated experience. Instead, I found my cruise severely lacking in service, dining, and overall experience. Amenities: The boat has newer interior than other local cruises, but a bit tacky casino vibes. Local skyline art and nautical carpet are nice touches. It is better and newer than other local no frills boats in terms of the decor. The boat is spacious - 3 floors, all with bars, indoor and outdoor sightseeing, and plenty of windows. I found that the second floor had the best views and many windows. During my cruise the third floor was DJ dance floor/VIP area. The first two floors were dedicated to dining guests. It was nice to have peace and quiet, dancing as needed. The boat well accommodated large amount of people leaving ample space for all. Cruise: The cruise is 2 to 3 hours. The sights are unmatched especially if you sail during the golden hour or sunset. Our private experience was 3 hours. The cruise goes into Lake Erie. It felt way too long. It would be great to have shorter options. Our cruise departed about 30 minutes late (perhaps due to the event policies). The boat was a very choppy experience even in mild weather. The experience is between $50-60 depending on whether you are have a private or regular cruise. Service: To be very straightforward the service is bad. Or at least it was bad during my cruise. While the tables are labeled, all food orders were confused, brought to wrong tables. This happened all night. Wait staff kept asking the same guests if the orders were theirs. That's despite all tables being clearly numbered. Ordering was available at the bars (one bar per level). Ticket check-in staff visibly checked out and commented on female guests' appearance in a disrespectful manner. One of the crew members approached me, asked if I'm cruising alone, inquired about my martial status, and was quite persistent. This is not the experience someone wants on a luxury cruise. It was the most disappointing and crude part of my planned peaceful experience. Food/Drinks: Our private cruise featured concession style food and no table-side service. I ordered chicken tenders ($11.50 for 6 pieces) and walking taco (Doritos bag with cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and salsa for $12.50). The chicken tenders were exceptionally dry. The walking taco lacking flavor. It definitely wasn't fine dining or even tasty concessions. All food choices were unexpectedly served in disposable plates and with disposable cutlery. The tables weren't cleared of plates. I cleaned my own table. Perhaps daytime food cruises have better dining options and dining services. There are plenty of complimentary non-alcoholic options such as water, iced tea, and coffee (decaf and caffeinated) that were available on the second level as self-serve. Other guests opted into alcoholic beverages, the menu looked extensive, and prices comparable to local restaurants. Parking: The boat is docked at the Nautica Pavilion. During events in the area it is virtually impossible to get to the venue. I waited in standstill traffic on the same street (less than a mile away from the Nautica Pavilion) for 30 minutes due to a concert, a large scale event, and two weddings. It was considerate of the Lady Caroline to post about possible traffic. Definitely check their site and any events at the Nautica Pavilion to plan your commute. Parking is available at the Nautica Pavilion. Be sure to notify them about your Lady Caroline cruise for a slight discount. Although the parking fees are unpredictable. I paid $6 for $25 event lot, nice discount. There are no set prices that you can plan for. Reservations: Reserve your cruise on the website - individual tickets or tours. I experienced just about every cruise, sailing, and boat experience in the city. This was not my favorite. Main reasons being food, service, and advances from the staff. To be frank, it's not worth the price. I hope that Lady Caroline can further improve, welcome Clevelanders and tourists to the marketed luxe experience.

    For the second time there were mechanical issues preventing a cruise. Another time resulted in the…read moreinability of the ship to leave the dock. All three were disappointing. On the single trip where we actually ate, the food was virtually inedible. PLEASE do not waste your time booking a trip. You are unlikely to sail, or you will be given unpalatable food. It's a lose-lose situation.
