This was such a fun and romantic cruise, despite the fact that it started raining as we boarded. The crew had a backup plan and greeted us with welcome drinks and indoor seating. When the rain subsided, we were able to enjoy the outdoor deck and party. This surf and turf was hands down the best meal we had in Cancun. Muy bueno! Plus the drinks were flowing and romance was in the air. read more

Highly recommend! We went in October, and the weather was great. On the boat, it wasn't too cold and the view was amazing! You get to see the Cancún Hotel Zona really well on the water. We had the Go City pass, and it came with one reservation for Columbus dinner cruise. It comes with either steak or vegetarian dinner with UNLIMITED DRINKS!!! Boarding the ship, everyone dressed really cute and nice. The staff was so friendly and kind. There was even a saxophone player during cocktail hour. There is plenty of time to enjoy the view, chat with people, and eat and drink! We got the steak dinner, which comes with first course of salad, main course was steak with potatoes and bread, and the last course was a cheesecake. The food was so good and the drinks were delicious. I was so full after the dinner!!! Such a great activity for couples. I highly recommend it! read more

If I could do Zero I would. We have tried for 2 days straight to reserve dinner for 4 to no avail. They leave you on terminal hold or cut you off when you call. On WhatsAop live chat the agent just stopped responding for no apparent reason. PICK SOMETHING ELSE to do in Cancun. read more

This was an amazing couples dinner cruise! There were 8-10 couples but yet somehow we felt like the only ones on board! A saxophone player played to some background music and was amazing. The hosts on board waited on us bringing us drinks before our dinner. You had the option of eating dinner on the top of the ship or below in the cabin. It was delicious food and the hub and I both had surf and turf. The host and "captain" Sergio was courteous and funny. He really made you think about each other as a couple and had everyone do a little dance onboard at the end. read more

This was a fantastic experience! We sadly went on a very rainy day so we were worried it was going to be cancelled or not very enjoyable. They have an indoor seating area for situations like this! And it was still amazing! We were able to drink, dance, and eat while also being able to meet new people and learn about others travels! Though you don't get to choose how you want your steak cooked, the flavor was amazing and every part of the three course meal was incredible! I would definitely recommend this to couples or groups traveling to Cancun or celebrating special events! read more

Of the 5 activities we did with the Go Cancún pass, this was the most disappointing. By far the worst food of our entire trip. Cheapest cut of steak, un-seasoned vegetables that came right out of a microwave steam bag, plain dinner roll, undercooked baked potato, and Costco cheesecake. No butter, no sauce, no seasoning, no flavor. Not even an appetizer course. The drinks were watery and clearly made with canned syrups instead of fresh juice. For $120 per ticket they served us $4 of food and drink. Unbelievable rip off. Though I would not recommend the meal, I will say that the staff did a great job. The table service was prompt and attentive. Sergio did a great job of emeceeing and provided great entertainment. They worked hard for us and we tipped generously - hopefully they get to keep all their tips. He and the rest of the crew are why this review is 2 stars instead of one. read more

The Colombus Lobster Dinner Cruise - Tours Near Me - Cancún, ROO

Good times, good times. I was expecting just a dinner on the ship, but they actually take you out to sea. So you get a view and there was a guy on the saxophone, so you get a show. It was fun. Good crew. You are actually on the ship with a bunch of other people so it is like a mini party on the ship. Be weary, probably not too Covid friendly. The crew was masked up, but other passengers were not. My only other complaint for us was that the food quality just wasn't good. Lobster was not fresh and the steak was cheap. But still a good time. Lots and lots of drinks, drink as much as you want, it's included. My fiancée and I had a great time. read more

We are generally a little skeptical of these kinds of tours/events, but we were really amazed by the overall experience. Sergio, the MC for the boating adventure worked the crowd like a professional. He kept things light and fun while the crew ran free drinks non-stop to everyone. Then eating a freshly grilled lobster while watching the sunset brought a romantic tone to the event, which was topped off with romantic moonlight dancing to live saxophone music. Sergio made sure everyone got up to dance and it made for a very romantic evening. Best night of our trip (and we come to Cancun every year). We highly recommended it for couples, ok for groups of friends, not sure I think it would be a great time for singles unless you are very cool being entertained by yourself. I think the 5:30 sunset cruise is the best. You dance in moonlight and see sunset. And incidentally we are a gay couple and the crew and Sergio made us feel very welcomed. read more

The Colombus Lobster Dinner Cruise - Sunset cruise - Tours Near Me - Cancún, ROO

The music and service was excellent! The crew were attentive and focused on service. When you boarded the ship you were given a drink, I'm not a consumer of alcoholic beverages and it was palatable so I would question how much alcohol was in the drink. After the first drink I asked for pineapple juice and it was awful! The views were breathtaking and the rose that was given at registration was a nice touch. However, this was advertised as a romantic dinner cruise. We were seated shoulder to shoulder with strangers, not very romantic but the music was excellent. I had the steak and lobster for dinner. The attached a try to the deck to serve the food. The steak was very thin and overcooked for my liking. Lobster was good, dessert was cheesecake it was tasty but parts of it was still frozen. The mixed vegetables taste like microwaved vegetables in a bag, needed more time in the microwave. The tour guide did an excellent job of keeping you informed and engaged. He was entertaining and enthusiastic. The Columbus looked more like a pirate ship to me but what do I know about ships? Lol Go for the music, views, service and the opportunity to meet people. If you're looking for a romantic dinner go to any of the nearby restaurants that have sunset views with excellent food and drinks. Hope g try his review is helpful. read more

Really cute cruise! Pros: Getting greeted with a welcome drink Service is great. Waiters come to check on your drinks and to make sure everything is ok It's nice getting able to talk to other passengers and converse over dinner Food was pretty good Dessert was the best (that day was cheesecake) The host guy was really sweet and funny all throughout Can get good pictures See a beautiful sunset Can see fish too (best if you throw bread) Cons: Boat is a little small, not everyone gets a seat and table. Everyone can sit down but they're more like benches with portable tables. It might be weird at first but it's not as bad as it sounds Bathroom stalls don't close that well (lol my sister accidentally walked in on someone on the toilet....). They do close just gotta make sure read more

Outstanding!! My wife and I both felt that this was the BEST of the four excursions/tours that we booked on our 7-day visit to Cancun!! The food was fresh and very delicious, ( we both ordered the "Surf and Turf" dinner selection), the staff/crew were all very pleasant, cordial, and attentive, Sergio, the host for the evening, was top-notch, the ship was very beautiful, and it all helped capture the entire romantic ambiance!! This was the PERFECT way to cap off our visit to Cancun!! Our other excursions that we had booked that week, had various issues/problems, from feeling rushed, shortened time spans on site visits, to "sales pitches" for related products/ items while en route to various destinations, to poor communication skills, almost "scolding" demeanors, and poor English translations, (70-75% Spanish to 25-30% English, and yes, we realized that we were in a foreign country, but when you requested an English speaking guide, you would think it would be closer to a 50-50% ratio!!). THIS excursion, The Columbus Lobster Dinner Cruise, however, was PERFECT, they provided excellent service and absolutely NONE of the issues or problems that I mentioned above!!! GREAT, GREAT, GREAT experience!!!! When visiting Cancun, (couples especially!), The Columbus Lobster Dinner Cruise is a definite "Do Not Miss" event!! 5-Star all the way, and a memorable romantic experience!!!!! read more

Had a most delightful time celebrating our second wedding anniversary in such a romantic atmosphere. The food was delicious too.The cruise is centered around romance and almost everyone there was either celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon, or a recent engagement. One gentleman even proposed to his girlfriend, which was a lovely thing to witness. Sergio, the master of ceremonies, was fun, funny, and really knew how to entertain and lead the crowd. Although it was hardly necessary because the view of the sun setting behind the Caribbean horizon is enough poetry and entertainment for a soul like mine. read more

I'm going to break down the experience instead of rating it as a whole and there is a couple reasons for that. To start the experience and the ambiance and the in the moment that you get is 10 starts, hands down that was amazing. The not so amazing things to start was the food. Honestly I'm giving it like 3 stars, I am a food critic for sure as I know my way around the kitchen & every single thing was just blah EXCEPT the cheesecake. The cheesecake was amazing 10 stars and that person should also season the steaks and veggies, cook the lobster tail & freshen up the ceasar salad. 10 stars for the experience 3 stars for the food they would of had a 5 star review from me had it not been for the customer service they provided VIA phone and the transportation services the suggest. Long story short they send out a email that says if you want transportation to & from the hotel please email within 48 hours of your dinner reservation. So I did. I got no response. Tried to call & email again and no response. Finally I got ahold of someone the morning of our excursion and I almost wished she had just let the phone ring. She was rude, didn't care to hear my problem & even hung up on me while I was at breakfast in Cancun making my time on vacation even less as I had to call back & we got the same girl after she refused to answer for 20 mins. My boyfriend talked to her and she gave us no help other than to move my birthday dinner excursion to the next night that she was able to set transportation up for. So we moved it to the following night as they didn't reply to our email and the lady on the phone Patrice was no help. So whatever we went I was so upset I had wasted so much time emailing and calling and talking on the phone only for them to br of no help I knew when I got home I was calling Columbus to tell them about my experience and the manager was just as bad as the rep. She didn't care, did nothing & then even promised to call me back after she checked in to it and never did. I expected an invite back on them or at least my transportation fees back and they did nothing. So upsetting. I travel to the area often in large groups of people and may of booked again but now I will tell everyone to choose something different. read more

Outstanding! The cruise far surpassed our expectations. The crew was amazing! The food was outstanding! I'd give my right arm to learn how they prepare the butter for the lobsters. Had I known, I would've booked multiple trips while we were in Cancun. I wouldn't recommend this trip for families with young children. However, an older child/teen or two would be fine. Our daughter was the only on board but fit right in. read more

So many good things to say. The food was great. Great portions, prepared very well, seasoned perfectly, the baked potato was great, even the vegetables were fresh crisp, not soggy and grilled perfectly. However, the main thing that I really wanted to say is how personable everyone was. From the Maitre'd, the Captain, the Servers and the rest of the staff. I am not talking about just being nice, I mean a group of people that really appreciated you for choosing to spend the evening with them. Coming up to you and talking you like you live in their neighborhood. Like you are a guest in their home. In my travels, this is something you only experience a few times and realize how fortunate you are for the experience. This was my wife and myself second time with these people and I just felt I should share this with you. I know you want to be cautious when choosing how you want to spend your time and money. I can assure you that this will be a good and safe decision. Joe Kryston read more

I did the sunset cruise, it was a perfect night for a romantic evening. The sax player was good. The food was also good, wish my steak was a thicker cut. Way too thin, but really tasty. The boat was really small. When we all went below I couldn't believe how small it was, it's nothing fancy at all. The seats were so tight. Felt like I was at school seating at the lunch table. Wish I had picture of it, sorry. But overall it was OK. I guess it's what you make it. Bottom line it's a little overpriced for what you actually get. I was on this cruise years ago, and the boat was bigger. So we danced alot. Guess I was missing that. read more

The Colombus Lobster Dinner Cruise - Tours Near Me - Cancún, ROO

Save your money. You will not be having a romantic dinner at the Columbus. They will tell you last minute they are doing maintenance and they have to put you in a different ship. That ship was awful and the food was awful. For all that money you could just go to a nice restaurant in Cancun. They don't even take you far in the ship. read more

My husband and I were on the Columbus LOBSTER Cruise last week. It was our 4th and final time. It used to be the most romantic cruise with the saxophone playing all night and the most delicious huge lobster tails we've ever had. The sax player barely played at all. The lobster tails were the size of a shrimp and instead of sailing for a few hours we were docked half the time. Sergio has worked there forever. He has a wonderful personality and is awesome with the guests. If not for him we would have jumped ship. We have told so many friends and families to do this. DON'T DO THIS!! We work very hard and it was like throwing over $200 in the trash! It was a horrific experience!!! Please don't ruin a perfectly good night of your vacation as we did. read more

This cruise is advertised as romantic, however it is far from that. The boat was small and holds 80 people. There were 60 of us and I can't imagine 20 more people. There was not enough room for everyone on the deck so many people had to sit below inside. Also if you were lucky enough to be on the deck, you were stuck shoulder to shoulder w/ strangers. At dinner we had to go inside, thankfully it was well air conditioned but we had to share a table w/ another couple on their honeymoon. Hardly romantic. The whole cruise was spent chatting with other couples and everyone we talked to was disappointed too. The dinner was ok. Nothing terrible, but nothing to write home about, the steak was very very thin. Overall - it was not romantic and I would not recommend it. read more

We had a wonderful time on the Columbus Romantic Dinner Cruise! The food was really well prepared and tasted delicious. The drinks were well made and they kept them coming! The lobster was so good as well as the cheesecake dessert. Special thanks to our host Sergio, he was very nice and gave my husband and I fantastic service. They take a photo of you in the beginning of the trip and then print it out for you in a souvenir style frame, you can get both photos for 25.00 which I thought was a good price (for a tourist style attraction). We would go again! read more

We went as part of a GOCancun card (which I highly recommend you buy). This was surprisingly nice given I think these things are usually really corny. The waiters were attentive, the pina colada was yummy, and the surf and turf was actually good. It was romantic with live music and staff did a really good job about playing up the romantic atmosphere and encouraging slow dancing under the stars. :) although a little corny, I thought it was still worth going to. read more

What a wonderful time! I loved every minute. We were afraid when some rude rourist started shouting that she only spoke English and that the guide should speak English. Afraid of being trapped on a boat with drunky-rudepantz and appalled /ashamed of her behaviour. If she's waited a minute longer she would have heard the English translation next. The Capitan (Sergio) was incredibly gracious when I'd have told her where to go, clearly, in English! He treated her with kindness and respect which amazed me. The views from the boat, the service, the food and even the single sax player keeping up with romantic pop songs made for a perfect night for me and my teen nephews. It would have been wonderfully romantic in a scenario with my partner, but we all agreed heartily that this was our best experience since we arrived. Now... The scumbag cabbies having out at the exit... They are a different story. They went a long way to ruin our night, but we were so happy that their bs lies and attempts at conning us (by telling us there was no other way to get to the collectivos when the bus stop just accross the street and trying to charge us triple what we should pay for a cab!) did little but annoy us. Hey! Cancun! Your cabbies are teying to ruin your tourist business! read more

This was hands down the absolute best experience I have had! We were in Cancun to help my parents celebrate their 55th wedding anniversary! We had made plans for the four of us to go on this dinner cruise. Due to unfortunate circumstances- I broke my knee at the resort we were staying at - and the fact that I couldn't walk or bend my leg we had to reschedule three times to a different night. The staff was extremely understanding and helpful! As it was on the night we went I was in a wheelchair and on crutches. When we arrived at the dock an employee met us at the taxi and helped me into the wheelchair and then got me down to the waiting area. They boarded me onto the boat first and there were 5-6 servers on deck waiting to lift me onto the boat and then help me to my seat. They sat my boyfriend, my parents and I right near the bar in two little niches that had built in tables so that I would not need to move. The owner and his entire crew were beyond attentive and went above and beyond to make sure that not only was every need of mine met, but that more important my parents enjoyed their anniversary dinner cruise! When the evening was over they again helped carry me to the edge of the boat and helped me get off and down the steps to the waiting wheelchair and back to the taxi! I highly recommend this experience if you are ever in Cancun!! The food and drinks are delicious and the views are to die for, but the staff - they are what make the cruise so enjoyable!! read more

The boat ride was really romantic I was skeptical at first but my wife convinced me to go I'm glad we did because it made our honey moon so memorable. We loved the boat ride, the live sax player, and the 3 course meal not to mention open bar! read more

Boat was very small, not enough room for all the people. The liquor provided was bottom shelf, the service was okay. We watched the chef cook the steak and it was on the grill for about 3 minutes, not rib eye, so we asked if we could get Lobster instead, we were told no. We got our food and everything was just very cheap quality. The view was gorgeous, I wouldn't recommend this overpriced mediocre "romantic dinner". read more

Absolutely amazing, the host and crew provided wonderful service and the atmosphere was perfect. They made sure we always had a drink in our hand and the food was really well cooked and of good quality. We took the 830pm moonlit cruise and it was not too hot, but I could see the conditions being uncomfortable if you went in the heat of the afternoon, so we suggest the later option. The only problem was that we didn't take enough pesos. There is a 10USD fee per person, from the state for liability insurance. We were not aware of this fee prior to going so we didn't take much cash. Because of that, we were sadly not able to tip the crew what we felt they deserved. read more

Wow how romantic!!! We took the sunset cruise and it was great. As towards the end it turns into a cruise under the stars and we had a crystal clear night to view them. Sergio was our guide and he was engaging and very funny. It was great to get away and get a different view of Cancun via this replica of the Santa Maria. We were entertained by a marvelous sax player and then treated to a marvelous lobster dinner baked potato vegetables salad and rolls. It was topped off with a slice of cheesecake. Our evening ended with us dancing under the stars as we returned to the dock. Truly a romantic evening with the best dinner I've had yet on the peninsula. read more

Excellent. They take youre picture when you board (which they will sell you later,no pressure though). The sax player was great. They have blankets for you if you get cold and the dinner was wonderful. I had lobster only (two whole lobster tails) and my husband had the surf and turf. The tables downstairs are wonderful we even had our own little window. Very romantic and the sax player even came around to each table and took your picture with your camera so you have a picture together even if you choose to not buy the one they take. Lobster was great and dessert was delicious as well cheescake on the evening we went. best meal we had on our cancun vacation. There is a dock fee of 10 dollars per person that they dont tell you about till you check in. read more

First of all, the boat was really small. On top of that, they overbooked too many guest on the tiny boat. Not a pleasant experience! They did not provide any ordeurve, we were super hungry before dinner was served. We both had the lobster dinner, taste so so, we believe we both got food poisoning from the dinner. The entertainment was meh, nothing special, does not worth the $100 that we spent. I would look elsewhere for a bigger boat and better food. read more

Diner is wonderful (you can get lobster, steak or both). The sax player is a professional, the music he plays is really good (mostly romantic songs). The view you get of the sunset is awesome and the navigation is really smooth. The host (Sergio) is really charismatic and he'll help with everything you need. On the boat you'll be constantly offered drinks (which are included all trip long) and waiters are very kind. This was the perfect time to propose my girlfriend and se said yes by the way! read more

My girlfriend and I booked this last minute and it was the best memory we have together! The staff was simply amazing and they made sure our drinks were never empty. The cruise was super romantic and they played great love songs both in spanish and english. After dinner and dessert, Sergio, the guide, made all of the couples get up and dance in the sunset with our sweethearts. This cruise literally makes me melt everytime I think about it. One of the couples got engaged on the cruise and it was the cutest thing ever! I highly highly reccommend this cruise to everyone. And for all of you negative people... It was not crowded at all! read more
