The driver and co-captain were extremely polite, even though it was a hot afternoon. We were allowed to bring 3 beers or a total of 36 oz of drinks with us. There was a Bluetooth speaker on board which allowed up to all take turns playing our own music too. Overall, the ride lasted a little over 2 hours and it was smooth along the water. A few views that made the outing a memorable one were: downtown's skyline, the flats, and an opening of the lake. Typically the boat will seat about 10 people and we had just a few less. Regardless, it was not an issue as they were extremely accommodating. There is a small convenient store next to the boarding location if you forgot to purchase any beverages before the adventure.

We rented a Duffy boat that holds up to 12 people and we brought 9. It was simply awesome! The boat was easy to use and our night out on the water was perfect. We did a 7-9pm rental. Soooooo fun!! The staff was really nice too. Can't wait to incorporate this into every summer trip to cleveland from here on in!

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.

Informative and interesting. After the city views, the boat continues to cruise around in the lake, which is why this takes 2 hours. We started boarding around 2:30pm for a 3pm cruise. I would get there earlier to park in their lot. You can easily pay with credit card. Parking was around $14 for 2.5 hours. Perfect for a 2 hour cruise with a little buffer if you want to walk in the area for a bit after. The ship has three floors. The main floor you enter on is enclosed and has AC. On a hot afternoon, this was the place to be! Plenty of large windows to see the sights and large tables with chairs. I believe there is a ramp to enter onto the main floor. Making it accessible for wheelchairs too. Kid friendly as well. There is a canteen where you may purchase snacks. They allow you to bring a water bottle, but I believe no food unless you have medical reasons or it is for your child. We all got ice cream to enjoy during the cruise. Restrooms also on this floor. Take the stairs up (a little steep) and you'll be on level 2, which is open air. This floor has front seating, a bar area, and back area with tables and chairs. A nice option for those that want fresh air and prefer to be outside. I believe there is a third floor that is open as well. We did not venture further up as this was perfect. Staff was friendly. We had a 'good time' on the Goodtime 3!
