First off anyone giving this a bad review is a liar. My girl and I went on the cruise Friday April 3rd 4:30 to 6:30 We boarded at 4 and a table with our name was on it. Buffett was AMAZING!!!! Beach rum was fantastic and the music was fun. We ate, drank and took lots of photos and video on the top deck. We would do this EVERY night if we were here full time which we will be stop . Alenjandro ( sorry for misspelling) and Kim ( the manager I think ) were FN wonderful. It was the best night of our trip so far and the absolute funnest night ever!!!! Staff was fun, playful, treated us with respect and made for great conversation!!! We will do this again only next time we’ll do the late night one!!! Thank you Kim and Alejandro for giving us a special evening!!! I’d rate them 10 stars if we could!!!!!

Nice charter boat which navigates around for decent scenery and romance. Chow's good and friendly staff. The water's only choppy when there's a CAT 5 hurricane.

We had a pretty good time. Dinner was good and the atmosphere was also good. Ask for a little stronger rum punch.

So much fun! Buffet food was really good, the vibes are amazing, the dj was do fun, and then the view from the top deck was so quiet and romantic. Each floor has something for someone. Date night, birthdays, anniversary, friend outing, or Bachelorette party all would be so much fun. Where else do you get a buffet, unlimited rum punch, dj and dance floor, and a romantic evening cruise for 2 hours all inclusive for less than 60 a person? Don't want the buffet? No worries! You can still go on the cruise, get the dj and dance floor and views for a little over 25. We took my daughter for her 17th birthday and she had a blast. 100/10 highly recommend.

If you’re looking for a laid-back evening on the water without spending a fortune, the Calypso Queen Tropical Cruise is a solid pick. This sunset dinner cruise leans more fun than fancy, and that’s part of the appeal. The boat itself has a cool setup. The top deck is the place to be if you want those wide, open views of the water, especially as the sun starts to dip. Down on the mid-deck, there’s a small patio area that feels a bit tight, but it still works as a hangout spot. It’s also where the energy picks up. That’s thanks to DJ Ace, who really carries the vibe for the night. The music isn’t just background noise. He mixes in crowd favorites, takes requests, and actually gets people moving. It turns what could’ve been a passive cruise into something a lot more lively. The food is better than you’d expect for this kind of experience, but there’s one important catch. Once it’s out, it’s out. No refills. So you’ll want to go in with a bit of a strategy and grab what you like early. The shrimp cocktail was a standout, fresh and easy to go back for (if you’re quick enough). The penne alla vodka was surprisingly solid too, comforting and flavorful. One thing I missed out on was the pineapple slices, which turned out to be one of the best items on the spread. Definitely not something to overlook. Drinks are simple and limited. Think Bud Light, basic wines, and a rum punch that packs a serious kick but doesn’t quite deliver on taste. It does the job, just don’t expect anything craft-level. At the end of the day, this cruise is all about value and atmosphere. You’re getting a sunset, music, food, and drinks rolled into one easygoing experience. For the price, it’s hard to complain, and it’s the kind of outing you’d gladly do again with a group.
