Excellent food in a wonderful environment - Lunch aboard the Barbara Lee has been a family favourite of ours for many years. It was my partner’s first time and as usual the trip did not disappoint. The staff are friendly and the service is excellent, with all good made on board the ship. We will be back again for sure.

Fourth of July Fun, Food & Fireworks - My wife and I used Senior Adventures to take the Fourth of July dinner cruise. Boarding was easy. Cash bar accepted CC also. Seating was not as bad as some dinner cruises. We have been on the Calypso Queen also. Staff friendly, efficient & very active. We were on the second floor with Jamie our server and Cindy our bar tender. We recommend the second floor because the band is on the first floor. If you want to dance their is a dance floor on the second floor also. When seated there in pasta salad, veggies/dip & fruit on the table. Jamie took our orders. Then we had steamed shrimp. My wife & I had the Prime Rib: recommend. Fireworks began while we finished our entre. When you go top deck you can see fireworks 360 degrees on the horizon. Do not be impatient. Eventually the Barbara Lee will stop near Sanford. Then you will be treated with Sanford's fireworks. There is a wait to dock due to all the smaller boat traffic. Outside is good viewing but it got buggie. Inside is good also but windows get steamy.
