The service was so terrible me and my boyfriend went on this cruise to celebrate as he is currently in law enforcement training and we don’t really get to see each other like that. So we thought this would be a great way to celebrate. The moment we got on we got directed to our table then it went downhill from there. This cruise was on October 19th 2024 at 6:30 from pier 61. Our server came to get our order but was directed by her manager to only serve the big tables. She asked us if we wanted water but never came back with it and other people were being served and well taken care of. We waited over an hour to before we had to flag down the manager to order something to drink. He came by our table again and said it was on the way but it never came. Our original waitress came back and said I am sorry I know you ordered something but what was it. We told her don’t worry about the original order since it was way too long. My boyfriend ordered another drink. Once again they come back again to ask what was it again we wanted. It is unfair it seems the white patrons are getting the best service and attention and we as black folks get walked past and not noticed until we flag staff down. This was the first dinner cruise we ever went on it was a terrible experience and we won’t be back.
