Thank goodness I never read the other reviews here before I dined!!! We recently took a lunch cruise on Fathers day and both my husband and I enjoyed the whole experience. It was our first time on the lake, so good to be able to eat as well as sightsee and listen to the live entertainment. We paid about $50,... more

I went on this cruise with my family during Labor Day weekend 2006 and would not recommend it. We ordered wine, but were not provided with wine glasses.

We went on a Sunday evening cruise July 17th. 2 adults and 3 children ages 12-17. Except for the magnificent view of the Chicago lights at night, I was disappointed. Our service was terrible! I would not go on The Spirit of Chicago Cruise again, I would try a different cruise option. Location: Excellent. Departs from the south side of... more
