- Y6239XSstevenr0 contributionsGreatI recommend it to everyone who enjoys great atmosphere great food and entertainment ..The views were great and I took so many pictures and videosWritten October 28, 2024
- Alan B0 contributionsSecond time and the food is even betterWe had family in town for a wedding, and took four generations on the California Hornblower for the dinner cruise, from 7 years old through 85. It was a wonderful experience, and our server, Dorathy made it special. I had taken this cruise before, and knew it would be very different than just dining in another restaurant. Everyone enjoyed the changing sights from daytime into tonight, cruising along the bay, under the Golden Gate Bridge, around Alcatraz and under the Bay Bridge. The food was delicious, from the steak to the Salmon, and between dancing to the DJ, and going up to the top deck to see the views outside, it was a wonderful night for everyone.Written September 29, 2024
- V4143PBstevenf0 contributionsA wonderful night to remember!I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday on the dinner/dance cruise. The staff was friendly, helpful and attentive to the needs of all passengers. The food was astonishingly excellent and the desserts absolutely delectable!! The ride was very smooth and the scenery second to none. The DJ played great music throughout the evening and had quite a thorough mixture of music for all to enjoy. Thank you to all crew and staff for making this a wonderful evening!Written August 27, 2024

- 330mathildat0 contributionsRomantic Valentine’s Day Dinner CruiseFor Valentine’s Day this year, we decided to indulge in something truly special – a romantic dinner cruise along the San Francisco skyline. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of magical. As we stepped aboard the elegant ship, we were greeted by the warm smiles of the staff and a glass of champagne. The ambiance was immediately enchanting, with soft lighting and the soothing music from a live DJ. The dinner itself was a culinary journey that delighted the senses. Each course was expertly crafted, featuring a blend of flavors and textures that left us craving more. From succulent seafood appetizers to tender steak entrees and decadent desserts, every bite was a delight. But perhaps the highlight of the night was the scenery. As we cruised along the glistening waters, we were treated to breathtaking views of the city skyline bathed in the soft glow of twilight. The iconic landmarks of Alcatraz Island and the Golden Gate Bridge seemed to sparkle just for us, creating an unforgettable experience. Throughout the evening, the attentive staff ensured that every detail was taken care of, allowing us to relax and savor each moment together. Whether it was the DJ taking our request to play our wedding song or the crew taking a perfect photo under the Golden Gate, their hospitality was truly exceptional. As the cruise came to an end, we couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratitude. The romantic Valentine’s Day dinner cruise had exceeded our expectations, leaving us with memories that we will cherish for years to come. If you’re looking to treat your loved one to a special evening, we highly recommend City Experiences. -Mathilda and MikeWritten March 18, 2024

- Trail122642458770 contributionsHighly RecommendI have been on 4 of their cruises, including their Thanksgiving brunch cruise and their July 4th firework cruise. Each experience has been outstanding. Staff are welcoming, courteous, and professional. Our server, Tim, on the our most recent brunch cruise was very attentive. The jazz pianist always does a fabulous job. The food is always tasty, especially the salmon. The views are of course amazing. If you look carefully, you can sometimes see dolphins and porpoises swimming under the Golden Gate Bridge.Written November 23, 2023

We leave at 9 pm. from the port of Berkeley, from there we go to the bay of San Francisco. I loved the activity, it was interesting, the food was excellent, the wine and drinks of very good quality, good music, there was a dance floor and the view of the fireworks in the San Francisco Bay at midnight was spectacular. I also got great pictures of the city of San Francisco illuminated at night. We return to the port of Berkeley at 1:50 am.

I attended the 2024 Fourth of July city cruise in San Francisco and had an amazing experience overall. However in VIP section my experience was marred by the behavior of bartender Diana. Her aggressive approach towards tipping, including frequent reminders and double-checking before serving, was unprofessional and detracted from the otherwise enjoyable experience. The tickets for the event were not cheap, so being constantly pressured about tipping was unwelcome. While I usually have no issue with tipping, it was disappointing to be badgered about it, especially if I only had large bills. That part wasn’t cool at all, but the rest of the experience was a 10 out of 10 and I would highly recommend it, just bring smaller bills for tipping.

4 hours cruise with bad booze, dead dj and okish buffet.
They didn't prepare the party for any possible activities or energy for the party to make it even bearable.
The cruise was extremely expensive and terrible at the same time. The ship was also dated, that could have been excused if the arrangements were good.
It was so terrible that we left even before the cruise sailed (1 hr delay) and reached home before 12am on the new year's eve.
Pathetic.
