Members Who Went Said:
I was extremely appreciative of the Goldstar discount which made this event more affordable for us. (I do not know if I would have booked this event for the regular fee which is a bit pricey!) My in-laws who live outside of the US were here for a visit; so my wife & I booked this cruise for their last night with us. We very much enjoyed the whole evening. The food was fresh and well-prepared, the music and the ambience were very effective. We were fortunate enough to have a beautiful night of weather and made great use of the upper deck to take in the sights. As the sun went down and the lights went on, the sights of DC and Georgetown were absolutely beautiful. It was a wonderful way to end my in-laws' visit. This was a totally enjoyable event overall and I am grateful to Goldstar for giving us this opportunity.

The food was quite good for a boat, but hardly worth a list price of $80 pp. Note the fine-print, gratuity and tax (totaling around $18 pp) are collected on board, in addition to whatever you drink. Lots of 40 somethings and 50 somethings celebrating special events.
