Alabama Cruises — Local services in Mobile

I would give this cruise a 5 star, but their were some imperfections as I don't expect anyone to be perfect. We initially were going to book the entire dinner cruise for our family reunion, but plans changed and the participation was less than anticipated. We booked the cruise and had approximately 25 to 30 people. The cost was $59 per person which included the buffet. I am part of our family reunion committee and we received several critiques regarding the amount spent per person.

First, dinner was served buffet style. We did not receive bread. Our menu consisted of Salad w/ dressing, red potatoes, green beans, rice, chicken tortellini, and shrimp scampi tea and water. Needless to say only a few people were able to get seconds from a "Buffet"? Food was not plentiful as some were not able to get seconds. This was embarrassing to me and the committee because they were expecting food galore. When buffet is mentioned you don't expect to run out of food. Everything ran out with the exception of the tortellini and rice. For $59 per person the food should never run out and the selection should include more varieties. There wasn't a kid friendly menu as most kids will not eat a lot of food with gravies etc. I would suggest the cost for children to be half the price or at least have a menu to cater to 12 year old and under for less the amount charged or have something they will enjoy eating. We had a couple kids that did not eat because they were not fans of shrimp and tortellini. That was $60 wasted. We received a very thin slice of cheesecake that was served to each person with no other dessert choices.

I give the bartender a 5 star and the entertainment a 5 star! The owners and servers were super nice! My only critique would be the buffet. Maybe consider changing it from being named a "buffet" to a three course dinner cruise which would be salad, entree and dessert. The price for the cruise was way too much from what we received. Forgot to mention the sodas were $2 each. So, we are giving this cruise a 3.5 star. Please work on changing the name of the buffet to a three course dinner. The word buffet used with this package is very misleading especially if you run out of food or can't get...

We hosted my son's rehearsal dinner there in August. It was amazing! Captain Willie and Anna made the whole night so memorable. The boat really is its own decoration. I literally just showed up and laid some sun flowers on the table, and the whole place looked fantastic. We absolutely loved having the food downstairs with the bar. The view of that sunset is stunning from any location on the boat. And, with the caterer they are currently using, the food was over the top. Chicken and Conecuh Pasta, Shrimp and Grits, and Barbacoa Pork. My guests loved having the options. Top it off with Blackberry Cobbler and Key Lime Pie. Soon after the toasts, the wedding party and friends were dancing on top of the boat with the Musical Fantasy Band with Darlene Henderson singing "Proud Mary" while we cruised through Mobile Bay. Unbelievable! Have I said enough? I can't recommend this experience high enough. The memories are priceless. Definitely for a group. Rent the whole boat. A work party; a wedding; a family reunion. 10+ on a 5 scale. Thank you so much to all the staff of the...

The experience we had on the Perdido Queen was above and beyond anything we could have dreamed it would be! We got married on this attractive riverboat two weeks ago and the entire voyage is still very surreal to us both. Anna went out of her way to make the wedding as perfect as anyone could hope for the start of a shared life together! She has to be one of the kindest humans in existence! The captain officiated the ceremony and that made the event even more special! ALL of the staff were attentive, kind, and upbeat! The vessel was breathtakingly gorgeous! I don’t think I could praise the staff, owners, boat, and ceremony enough! Thank you Anna and Willie for making our wedding so incredible! I will recommend this riverboat and the two of you to anyone looking for a magical experience that will last...
