As a first time rider , the boarding process was easy and the atmosphere was great. The dj was excellent as well as the food! The only thing I didn’t like was the dance floor being slippery and the boat being extremely hot on the bottom floor!

The experience was good. Only advice is for the ship to have more AC! I was very warm on the boat.

Cancelled the cruise. We literally showed up at the Navy Yard location only to discover they were not running crusises on Mondays and Tuesdays. They did send a text to my cell, but I had not read it in time. They offered a new cruise on Saturday, apparently as Wed-Fri were already booked. I did not even bother responding as we had a Saturday noon flight. This happened a lot in DC. Many places are out of business, constantly changeing hours due to Covid-19 nonsense, mandating 'Timed Entry Tickets', so if you want to do anything with museums, book NOW and confirm the booking constantly.
