Harbor Lights Christmas Cruise

For the amount of money paid we hardly saw any lights! Will not be going back there again. I could’ve walked on the beach at horny corner and saw those lights.

If I could give this company negative 5 stars, I would. I’ve gone on three cruises. This was the most expensive and the worst. The staff on board was horrible. Rude. Mean. Arrogant. They would only let women upstairs if they battered their eyelashes and showed their tits. They claimed to be following code but wouldn’t let people go up even when people came down. It was crowded, you couldn’t see any lights, there was no room to move. It was like being in a herd of cattle. Never ever in a million Yeats would I go back and I will be asking for a refund.

A group of my friends and I went on this a few years back. We had a blast. I’ve been wanting to get a group together again to do it again. I would definitely do it again and again. Just haven’t had the chance.

This review is for the holiday lights cruise, the lights were sooo pretty it was a nice tour of the marina & Naples lights. The boat itself is bootleg, & pretty pitiful looking but whatever we found a spot inside by the bar with a perfect view of everything. The holiday music was meh, but our boat was pretty festive since it was the 9pm one, so people were in party mode. I’ll do it again next year, why not :)

I am being completely honest and unbiased as I write this review while sitting on the Reggae boat cruise… My group paid $ 45/​each and were told that BBQ was included. Well it is NOT. In addition the only food on the «Reggae cruise“are Domino pizza slices and BBQ wings: for $ 5 each. The boat is the cheapest piece of crap I have ever been on and had we not paid for our tickets in advance, I would have never boarded. 2^nd, and most importantly the boat did not leave until around 6:30, even though we were scheduled to leave at 6pm, which means right now I am being held HOSTAGE until 9:30pm! To make a horrible experience even worse we are riding around in a ¼ mile circle! The boat is literally a rip-​off! Party people BEWARE!

The staff has been super friendly about scheduling (and rescheduling) my cruise. I’ve heard great things so I can’t wait to actually get on the boat!

I went on the Reggae Boat last year for my 28^th birthday and had a blast ! Thank You, Estella/​Owner/​Bartender we had a great time! We decided to celebrate my 29^th birthday and it was very disappointing. The Captain is mean and nasty. The bartender was horrible! He has no personality! Who taught him how to make a drink? I guess Estella sold the business. But, Kitaka the lead singer of the band is still there, he is out of this world! That’s the only reason I’d go back… Service is awful!

I thought I reviewed this already but I guess not…
A good idea but… It’s no booze cruz in Cabo… the bbq is weak… the band was cool except they took a long break and the cruise wasn’t that long… not what I was expecting, they only took a short trip to the light house or just past it @ 4 mph and turned around…“meh, I’ve experienced better.” Maybe it has gotten better cause I went two years ago.

What an awesome party!
I had my 30^th birthday on the boat during the blues cruise. Its a lot cheaper than the Reggae cruise and they dont serve food, but its all good. the resturaunts near by are pretty cheap during happy hour and i got my dinner and drink on! also, the week of your birthday they will give you your ticket for FREE! who doesnt love a free birthday party.
thier service is prompt and they call you right back when you leave a message. the woman in the office is a doll, especially when you have to order tickets 9 different times because your friends cant get thier shit together!
4 stars because of no notice (until i asked) about the food not being served, and the boat felt REALLY crowded, but maybe its just because 20 of my closest friends were all huddled upstairs. at any rate, a wonderful way to kick off my birthday and celebrate on a gorgeous september night!

Ugh! It really pains me to write this review but I think my story has to be told. Ten of my friends and I all planned on going on the Reggae Boat for the 4^th of July. We planned this way in advance and most of my friends came up from San Diego. We BBQ’d at my house during the day and then upon taking taxi’s over from Belmont Shore to the Marina once it was time. Upon waiting in a hectic, unorganized, long line one of my male friends was told he could not come on the boat! This is a big guy who can certainly handle his liquor, he was fine-​better than fine, and he had done nothing wrong! The Captain didn’t have a problem letting him on, but the short, bald security guard said no. The two of them had all 8 of us (three went aboard) wait, and wait, and wait. We waited almost an hour in which time a close friend that WORKS on the boat came down to vouch for my friend! Still after all that the answer was no. Yes– the rest of us were told no problem WE could go on the boat– but when you have friends from out of town you can’t just abandon them! It wouldn’t have been right. So after all that planning and anticipation, we did not even get to go on! My other friends that went on had fun– I have been on before and it IS fun. But for someone to have an unprompted problem with a customer, ruin many, many peoples 4^th of July plans, and take more than week refunding each $ 55 sadly I cannot say if I will ever go back on this boat.

I went on the July 4^th cruise, and unfortunately, I didn’t think it was worth the money ($ 55 per person). First, the boarding gates opened about 15 minutes late, then the ship left the dock almost an hour later than scheduled. The reggae band was average (they did some Celine Dion covers turned reggae – very strange). Because the ship is pretty small, it kept rocking in the waves, which meant people were literally falling on top of each other at points, and the trash can on the top deck overturned multiple times. Also, the cruise advertised itself as getting riders close to the Queen Mary fireworks, but we were actually pretty far away. Other than drinking, there wasn’t much to do on the boat. On a positive note, I will say the boat was well-​staffed (there were several security guards) and the crowd was a good mix of people.

i am def doing this again next year for 4^th of July…
i met some amazing new friends, danced my ass off, and enjoyed a pretty cool fireworks show.
The drinks were stiff, the bathrooms were clean and well-​kept, and the live reggae was soooo much FUN!!!
i am seriously jocking this type of partying…
why not 5 stars? the boat was not the nicest, but who really cares.
i will DEF BE BACK ON THIS BAD BOY!!!

Well I am popping my Unilocal Cherry on this one. My sister always talks about Unilocaling and since I am bored I thought I would give it a whirl! Here goes, it was my 28^th Birthday this past weekend. I partied on the Reggae Boat Cruise. I heard lots of great things about it so I was excited to finally attend. Myself along with my BF, fam bam and several friends celebrated with me.
I was pretty much already on a good one on the way there so when we got there, the first thing I think is WOW… it’s so much smaller then what I expected… nevertheless, I was ready to dance and drink the night away. After saying my shrieking hellos to everyone who came out to celebrate with me (the older I get the louder my obnoxious shrieks get), I was ready to get my DRANK on. The boat had the main floor which consisted of the bar, the dance floor (this is where the band performed as well), the restrooms (very important… hehehe) and some seating areas. I just kept thinking how are 150 people going to fit on here. Well the top deck consisted of more seating area and a grill (I’ll get to that in a second). Once the boat started rockin’ I new I was in for a good night. The drinks were pretty much what you would pay for alcohol at an average club/​bar, but the difference is you are getting your money’s worth. I think each cup was ½ alcohol and ½ whatever you decided to mix it with. I pretty much double fisting it all night which made for interesting events.
The band started playing and Rhonda (that’s my drunken alias) was shaking her booty away. Although they didn’t really play their original music, they were real cool peoples and brought the party to it’s feet. I think I spent a lot of the time dancing. I know because at one point I fell and normally would turn red about it but as Bob Marley would say…“Everything is gonna be alright.” The main singer even gave me several birthday shoutouts so that was cool.
The cruise serves food you can purchase, such as burgers, hot dogs, the usual. The odd part was that they serve it to you raw and you go upstairs and grill it yourself. I found this very odd yet amusing.
The staff on the boat are very nice and very cool. The stairs taking you upstairs and downstairs is quite steep so they are always there to hold your drink and hold your hand when walking up and down the stairs.
All in all I had a great time. Good music, good atmosphere, friendly staff, and strong drinks… makes for a great night!!!
