2.Columbus The Romantic Dinner Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 76 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $79Best value

Cruise Nichupté Lagoon aboard a Spanish galleon for 2.5 hours, with a three-course surf and turf, lobster, ribeye, or vegetarian dinner, domestic open bar, and live saxophone. Hosts speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Arrive early for the best table choices, and bring cash for the required $15 dock fee.

“We really enjoyed this cruise. I'd recommend getting there early as they board in order of arrival and there are only two proper tables on deck. The drinks were flowing and from this point of view if you're a drinker this would be really good value for money as it's an open bar. we had the steak which was lovely, but no chance to order how you want it cooked and was served well done which was nice but over cooked for my personal taste. Served with veg and a jacket potato. Cheesecake for dessert which was nice. Crew were phenomenal and the saxophone music was great. Would highly recommend.”
