3-24-2023 I made a reservation for this dinner cruise on line. very easy to find what dates are available. Day before sail we received a call to confirm. I worried about parking as this is a very congested area. But we arrived and found there to be Valet parking. So we did that. Life was made easy by this. Valet was for the cost of a tip. Very fast service. We then checked in for the cruise at the gift shop. We were a little early and there were several seats outside in the shade and the sun. When time to board our table was assigned. Service for drinks was fast and they are not included in the price of the dinner. There was adult beverages and also soft drinks. We were downstairs as the upper deck was rented for a party. No problem for me. It was noisy and I dont know how you can get away from that. I believe they can seat about 60 downstairs. I dont know how many upstairs. They called the tables one at a time to start the buffet. There was salad and three dressings, rolls and butter, vegetable medley which was hot and tasty, scalloped potatoes, orange baked salmon. Im not a fan of salmon but this was pretty darn good. Prime rib with au-ju and or horseradish sauce. Everything was very good and tasty. Service was very good. Dessert was brought out and you had three choices. Key lime cheese cake, chocolate cake and a strawberry cake. I had the chocolate cake and the Key lime cheese crack. Yes crack! It was the best key lime anything I ever had. The sunset cruise did not disappoint. It was dark by the time we headed back to the dock and Sarasota was lit up including the bridge. Marina Jack 2 did not disappoint. The restrooms were very clean. I never asked if the fare included a tip so we tipped. But it might be worth asking. Being inside we did not need a jacket or sweater. It was a very pleasant night. To video or take pictures of the sunset i suggest going out the door you came in on as everyone piles in the front of the ship to do the same. Only one thing to pass along. The windows were pretty dirty which did not hinder the pictures if you put your phone against the window but if you had a real camera that would be an issue. Bottom line. Do this cruise if you can. It is worth every penny. You only live once.
