What a neat experience! Went on a dinner cruise for a friend's birthday...we had a group of 6 and we all had a blast. The accommodations/services were on par and the bonus was the amazing views of a beautiful city...I've lived in Seattle my whole life and it was really neat to see my city through Waterways lens...if you are looking for an all inclusive experience with good food and service in a beautiful setting for an overall good time...try Waterways out.
Had a wonderful time here with my team! They truly make the Unwind Cruises an unforgettable experience. The vibes are incredible, the drinks are tasty, and the views are unmatched! Can't wait to come back and bring my family / friends :)
We went on a Mother's Day Brunch cruise and had the best time. The staff were super friendly, the captain was good at pointing out and informing the guests of the sights around and with fun facts, and the food was absolutely delicious. The views were gorgeous and couldn't have been better. We had a wonderful time and plan on going for another cruise!!
From departure to docking, the dinner cruise was a fun little evening. The views of the Seattle skyline at sunset were just spectacular last night, with the nearly-full moon. Cruising around Lake Union, under the the bridges and through the cut into Lake Washington was amazing. The cocktails were strong and my salmon was tasty. I found the Captain’s light narration to be a perfect accompaniment to a well-organized event. Our server was friendly, quick and just genuinely adorable. I would definitely cruise again and would 10/10 recommend this to anyone.
Took the wife on a date day on the waterfront. Decided on this for an activity. It was 100% the best decisions we've made being spontaneous. It was amazing, our second cruise (first was the Christmas cruise, highly recommended!). It was fantastic to see the city I love from the water.
The boat was so clean and well set up. There was ample room for us all and a great sun deck area outside. Our food was delicious. The best part by far was the incredibly warm and friendly staff. They all personally greeted us and made sure we were having a good time the entire trip. The owners were even on board with their family as well and it was great to see how well oiled the entire team was. We would definitely recommend a cruise with Waterways to anyone new to town or for any born and raised residents of Seattle like myself.
