I took my wife on a Sunday morning brunch cruise, departing from Middletown. The ship's staff are very friendly and make you feel so welcome. Everything was explained regarding where to sit, food, and when the cruise would be leaving and returning. The staff was A+.
The brunch was excellent. There were traditional breakfast foods, a waffle bar, a carving station, and pastries. There were also lunch foods available. Both breakfast and lunch choices were delicious, and the dessert bar was amazing.
The view of the river was awesome. There was plenty of seating at the top of the ship and there

My review is much different I had purchased a radio deal for four people I started to call and try to make reservations since the spring and they never answered there phone so I left numerous messages they never had the courtesy to call back! And wasn't able to book online because it being a radio deal, so I had to lie and left a massage saying I wanted to book for an event, they called me back within 3 hours.
Side bar she also said she tried to leave massages but my mailbox was full(it has never been full in my whole life)
She left me a massage TODAY stating my deal has expired "great

Much more than brunch!
I wanted to treat my parents to brunch and I found this truly unique venue where you can dine on a yacht on the CT River and dance/listen to music! It is the 2-hour fall foliage brunch cruise on the Lady Katharine yacht called the Mystique. You arrive by 10:30am at Eagle Landing State Park in Haddam, and everyone (I'd estimate about 150 people, tops) begins the boarding process. You have pre-assigned tables and can request to sit together with family/friends ahead of time. The buffet brunch is hot and ready as soon as you board which is great because there are literally

Recently did a Murder Mystery cruise and left at the end of the night extremely frustrated. The boat itself has three decks, and guests were split between the first and second deck. The actors proceeded to carry out their murder mystery scenes, alternating between each deck. The end result was that 100% of the people only knew what happened in 50% of the show. Even though the actors were mic'd up and speakers are throughout the ship, there were some scenes where there was no speaking; only actions. The plot of the show was also nonsensical, but that is the Murder Mystery company's fault

Went to a "murder mystery" cruise, supposedly a Halloween special. I expected exactly that. A murder mystery. Instead it was like a bad wedding with bad music, horrible costumes and bad acting. It was a joke. Literally, a play on a mafia high school reunion which stole lines from Grease and Blues Brothers. The costumes must have been whatever was on clearance at Walmart. CHEESY. The DJ was wearing a Mr Incredible costume. How does that even fit in? The food was tasty, but apps were literally just some cheese cubes and crackers. Cash bar, but couldn't the cost of the tickets include

3 stars is really just for the view of the river. I'd give 2 for food and 1 for everything else. Let's begin with the major crampness of tables. no room to move around. At one point I sat away from the table to hold my plate because there wasn't room for me to eat at my table.
2nd thing they need to do is make it a nonsmoking ship. There are 2 decks you can smoke on and if you're a non smoker you can't enjoy sitting outside because even from the top deck you can smell the smoke.
3rd thing they should consider changing the music playlist. There was a great musician playing

I purchased a Lady Katherine Cruise for my husband for father's day. It was a relaxing way to spend a Sunday morning. The cruise lasted two and a half hours. The interior of the ship looked like it could use a facelift but it was very clean. There was a small bar and most people ordered mimosas. The menu included a carving station, hot entrees, salad, pastries and hot breakfast selections. It was a small spread but the food was satisfactory. On the upper deck there was a live band and that was the only entertainment during the cruise. I was surprised at how small the space was and that we
