As others have said, not really worth the full price (the food's not so great--they managed to burn pasta), but for the Goldstar price, definitely a fun date night event. Stay on the top deck to watch the sun set even if they're making announcements down below. For dinner, we were seated at the far end of the ship from the band, and that's the place to be. They really crank the amplifiers up, and sitting near the front will leave your ears ringing; they really ought to turn down the volume for the thirty minutes or so it takes most people to eat. The volume is a plus afterwards, though, as you lounge on the upper deck admiring the night-time views and your date. For what it's worth, I also thought the bathrooms were rather nice.

My mother and I had a really good time. All of the servers were very helpful and attentive. Originally our table was at the very front, right at the speakers, so the music would have blasted our eardrums out, but we asked to move and there was no problem.
The food was pretty good, and overall, a great experience. I might have been frustrated if I had paid full price, but the GoldStar deal was perfect.

We had a great time and the extra package was all setup for us when we boarded. The food was great and there was extra to go around. The music was a Live Jazz band and the view was out of this world, even the captain let us drive the ship for a awhile
Thanks Gold Star
