Even though they were slammed with boats to launch, the team went out of their way to keep me on schedule for my reservation to transit the Welland Canal. The day I headed out was a bit stormy, and I was surprised when Rob called--he didn't exactly say he was checking on me, but I'm pretty sure he was. That level of care, even for a one-and-done customer, really stood out. I can't say enough good things about this yard.

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.

Full disclosure, I haven't been the captain or the one to make the reservation, so I can't speak to those parts of the experience. There's some public parking near the dock, and you go up to the little shack to sign your waiver. There isn't a bathroom at this dock, but you can walk down to where the big boats for the music cruise dock and there's a small restroom over there. Once your whole group is signed in, the boats are at a floating dock, and you can just hop on and go. We've done both the pontoon boat and the speed boat. The speed boat was definitely more fun, because it goes faster, but the pontoon is a little more roomy for a slow cruise, your choice. You can bring snacks and drinks along for the ride. There are usually a handful of staff launching boats and getting people loaded. They're friendly and fun. One slight drawback to the 2 hour cruise is that you are on the inside of the railway bridge, so if it's down, you're stuck on the river and have to wait for it to go back up, and sometimes it's a pretty narrow window. If you're on the lake side of the bridge, you risk getting stuck outside and running over your time. I believe the Captain has to do a little safety course prior to the activity, but otherwise, it's pretty easy! Definitely a fun activity, and a way to get yourself a boat day if you don't have an invitation.
