My husband loves experiences over food so for his birthday, I booked a dinner cruise. We went on a Friday night (specifically to watch the fireworks) and arrived at 4:45 when the ship was starting to board and the ship-side show was starting. We didn't have a problem finding parking and it was validated and only cost $8. I got the 5 star option and it was wonderful from beginning to end. My husband didn't know where we were going so when he realized we were getting on the ship he seemed so pleasantly surprised. When we got on the ship, we were escorted to the elevator and up onto the ship's top deck for a non-alcoholic bellini and some appetizers. We went into the ship and were escorted to our table. I was worried because in the pictures and other reviews, it said that the tables were really close together. We found the table size to be fine. I bought celebration package, which costed $30 extra per person but it guaranteed us a private window seat. I'm glad I did because the banquet seats in the middle were a lot more cramped and we would have had to sit with strangers so it would have dampened the romance factor. The meal was pretty good. I was worried that my husband would still be hungry because it's fine dining so the portions are small but my husband was satisfied. He doesn't eat seafood so I substituted chicken for the lobster, which was easy to do when I booked. The tenderloin was so soft that it literally melted in my mouth! The drinks were not very strong but definitely tasted good. Our server made sure that we always had a drink, which was great. The view of the sunset and fireworks were amazing! We took a picture with the captain which they gave to us for free at the end of the cruise. It came in a hard cover album type frame. During dinner, there was a hula show, which was touristy but good. After dinner, there was a jazz trio. They invited everyone to dance, which we did. I thought it was pricey, but for what you get, I feel that it was more than worth it! You get a 7 course meal, 3 drink tickets each (for either alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks so use them for the alcohol and pay for your sodas to get the best deal for your money), a keepsake photo, multiple shows (there was the ship-side show, the show on deck at the captain's reception, the hula show during dinner, and the jazz show), and most of the top deck is reserved for 5 star guests so watching the sunset and fireworks was comfortable, despite there being 1000+ people on board. My husband said it was the best date we'd ever been on and I agree! We will definitely do it again for another special occasion. We will likely take our kids to do one of the other packages because there were many couples on the 5 star deck who were celebrating and I wouldn't want to ruin their experience scolding my loud and excited kids. My only complaint is that before we left the harbor, I was seated on the west side of the ship and it was really hot with the sun beaming through the window.
