There was actually more space than I thought there would be. Its also BYOB and food. We had packed a cooler of drinks and snacks.

We decided to do a Fri. night dinner and dance cruise as part of a birthday getaway. Unfortunately,…read morethe Clipper has seen better days. The ship is in desperate need of an upgrade as it looks extremely dated, and worn. The buffet was also disappointing. It honestly feels like the same buffet that was being served more than 20 years ago. For the price, I expected more. I remember taking these cruises years ago when they were fun, exciting, and something you really looked forward to. But now, as someone 50+, I realize the experience no longer seems geared toward my age group. The crowd was much younger, and the music was heavily geared toward that audience as well. A better mix of old-school R&B, classic dance music, and newer selections would have made the evening much more enjoyable. There's definitely still potential because dinner and dance cruise concept is still a great one. However, the Clipper could really benefit from updating the ship, improving the buffet and music.

We're in the area to visit Ohiopyle and were looking for some places close by to take our golden…read moreretriever swimming and while eating breakfast this morning at Yum Yums one of the owners recommended this place. After hubby and I toured Kentuck Knob we stopped by our hotel to get our golden and headed straight here. I was worried that being Father's Day that the place would be insanely crowded but there weren't many people there and since there are so many areas to park everyone that was there was pretty well spaced out. We stopped at the boat ramp area so our golden could jump off the 2 floating docks and he absolutely loved it. The water is really clean and hubby even saw a huge fish jump out of the water while our dog was retrieving his ball. This area has benches and a walkway around the lake and there are also bathrooms, pavilions and picnic tables and seems to be quite popular with the local fisherman plus it was so clean and pristine, my only regret is that we didn't find this place sooner because we would have been bringing our pup here every morning and evening. Great place for fishing, family get togethers or for a nice walk around the lake, we're actually getting ready to head back up there now.

We joined last year shortly after the franchise opened and have never looked back. Just show up, take the boat out and have fun. Then bring it back and you're done, the dock masters do the rest! No cleaning, storage, or maintenance!! Prior to joining FBC, neither my husband nor I had operated a boat before. The dock masters host trainings and go out with you on the water to ensure your safety and that you feel comfortable learning the ins and outs of boating. Want more practice? They're willing to come out with you and work with you any day. The owner Michael and his staff have been wonderful, even putting together social events for members in the off season which have been a lot of fun! One of the best perks of FBC is having access to over 100 reciprocal locations (the Florida clubs are great during the Pittsburgh winters!!). We can't wait for boating season 2020.
