I like that fact that we could go anywhere we wanted to on the yacht.
All the bedrooms were accessible to anyone. That was just great!

We LOVED this cruise! It was a "double date" for my parents' 31st anniversary and we couldn't have asked for a better day to be on the water.
Everyone's consensus: Good food, good booze, good ride, good company!
The tour is 45 minutes each way. Lovely brunch selections. The staff is very professional and friendly. One suggestion: make sure you wear your sunscreen!

I agree with the other reviewers that the food is not fantastic, but it's decent. Hornblower ran everything like clockwork. They were very punctual and the staff were all very friendly and provided excellent service. The weather was fantastic and we really enjoyed the experience. It's also a great outing if you have people visiting from out of town. If you're only interested in great food, this may not be the excursion for you, but if you want a great overall experience, be sure to check it out.

The cruise was nice. We got lucky and went out on one of John Wayne's boat and it was a very nice boat. It was pretty easy to find, the staff was very nice, and the food was good. I had a full glass of champagne the whole entire time I was on the cruise, we were able to sit out on the front of the boat to enjoy the scenery, and it wasn't over crowded. Overall, we really liked it.

It was a elegant and romantic day cruise. Brunch was excellent, crew were friendly, and scenery was gorgeous. It was a great opportunity to "escape" from your normal life and have a relaxing "vacation" day experience. We will be returning!

My mom and boyfriend and I had a good time. I guess that it would have been better if there was some live entertainment. Of course, the water was amazing and there was so much to look at as you cruised around the marina. The food wasn't bad, but not great. Overall, we had a very good time!

We four ladies had a fabulous time! Three are locals and a fourth who likes to dine at restaurants on the bay when she's in town - so we surprised her and literally had lunch on the bay! The cruise was right on time and was a wonderful tour of Newport Harbor, the crew was very welcoming and polite, and our server was kind and attentive. We also thought the buffet food was absolutely delicious! All that and free flowing champagne... what more could you ask for on a summer afternoon!

I took my mom, dad and boyfriend out on the cruise for my mom's birthday ... she loved it. The Cruise was not sold out so there was plenty of room on the yacht. It was very nice. The servers were very nice as well :)

Because there weren't that many people booked, we sailed on John Wayne's yacht which was very special.
