National Ferry Corporation

They called it a Fall Cruise, made it sound so romantic. The boat was pretty raggedy, there weren't any really nice views, the food was really bad. I heard someone complain that their hot dog was cold. The tables were covered in cheap vinyl tablecloths with fake candles and fake fall leaves. The top deck where the only real views could be had was clausterphobically over crowded, the windows downstairs were murky and scratched-up fiberglass. There were two small pumpkins perched on a little ledge in the bar area with two phony fall leaves draped over them, in case we forgot we were on a "Fall Cruise."

Took a Saturday Happy hour cruise with my wife, was a great experience! Staff was friendly and courteous and answered any questions I could think of. The Anecostia? river was very beautiful at night, and the occasional explanations from the man over the PA system was very welcome. At first we thought the booze was a bit overpriced, but upon visiting other establishments in the city we realized that it was actually a dollar or so below the average, so it seems like the city is just more expensive overall.

Worst cruise ever, rather than welcoming the staff is every frustrated, and more interested in getting the customers out of cruise than making them welcoming, also very old and stinky ride.
Staff is very rude and the body language is like don’t even try to ask me anything or expect anything !!
Zero Rating.....

Very bad experience with staff.
I would not go or recommend anyone to go there.
No info or anything rather than trying to sell some over priced stuff on board.
Bad and smelly furniture also bad restrooms.

We went on a Sunday during cherry blossom and they over booked the book, we got there early and had seating, due to the over booking we could only see the back of everyone head people were lined up on the railings so no one had a unobstructed view. The advertising it as a tidal basin tour the went away from the tidal basin.

Worst cruise ever. Overly crowded, rude staff and they are more concerned about selling snacks and drinks as opposed to explaining about the buildins in the area.

Amazing cruise, beautiful sceneries.
