Dinner cruise on the Northern Spirit was good, but I was lucky to have good weather. The buffet tasted good but service wasn't great. It felt under staffed. They are supposed to announce when tables can go get food but no one did so it became a free for all. Staff were not monitoring the buffet and all the proteins sat empty which held the line up for 5 minutes. Another problem with the buffet are the tongs. If any one was going to get sick from eating there it would be because of the tongs. People keep letting them drop into the food so they get covered in food and bacteria transfers into the food trays. Also unlike cruise ships, they don't squirt hand sanitizer on everyone on board but they really should! The DJ was good and the nice weather made the cruise enjoyable. Tip for customers: bring hand sanitizer.

Went there for our 1st anniversary. Spectacular scenery, delicious food and great service.The music was a bit loud for me, but I guess it depends on what you prefer.Thinking of going again with the whole family.

Overall, a very pleasant experience. The staff that was helping us was very friendly and informative. He also offered to take pictures for us. The food was decent, could have been a tiny bit warmer but it was bearable. Just a little pricey on overall cost due to administrative fee. I also didnt like how the fleet/cruise/boat wasnt guaranteed although you have booked with a specific sailing.

Although the cruise was planned well and the service was really good, the reason I would give it only 3 stars is the food quality. Firstly there weren't nearly enough choices for the vegetarian people in our party. Secondly, almost everyone in our party of 15 felt sick to different degrees after getting back from the cruise. The drinks at the bar and the wine was really good, however the quality of the food was less than mediocre considering the price you pay for it and because of this reason, I would probably not cruise with Mariposa again.
