Let me tell you by saying this was the most boring and hottest cruise ever!!!!!
My sister tried to book the lunch session for me, my mom and her on the Cornucopia Cruise website, but after a technical error she was told that that session was full and was only offered the brunch session and dinner session, so we went with the brunch session which was suppose to start at 11am
We decided to show up an hour early and stood around on their dock waiting to be allowed on the boat at 11 but when that time rolled around the staff was still cleaning and bringing beer and liquor in and we weren't allowed on the boat until around almost 11:40. When we were seated at our table, my sister noticed that the fabric on the chair was torn and the table cloth had a stain on it. Also, the boat was extremely hot and we complained to the staff. Come to find out that someone turned the heat on. After turning the heat off, it got a little cooler but no air condition was turned on. Its 87 degrees outside and all who were at our table was sweating and fanning. Complaining to the staff laid on deaf ears. We noticed many people had already gotten up and had started serving themselves from the buffet and the boat hadn't even moved until 20 minutes later. After eating, I felt a little sea sick, so I went on the outside deck to get some fresh air and I felt better. The breeze from the ocean was nice unlike the cabin on the inside which felt like Cruise Oven. There were four people who we didn't know who sat at our table and they ordered liquor and other drinks, all my group had was what they gave as a complimentary Mother's Day drink and a couple of diet sodas. When we came back to our table, the waiter put a 30 dollar bill in front of us. My sister asked him who bill was it, and he told us it was for the table to pay. We told him we were not paying for other peoples drink, mind you the four people had left the table earlier and never returned. We pushed the bill to the other side of the table and when the waiter noticed we weren't going to pay for someone else drink, he took the bill with him.
Anyway, there were no entertainment, no wishing a Happy Mother's Day, there was nothing but some music if listening will almost make you vomit. All this boat did was turned around and around in the same area with nothing interesting to see but a few fishing boats, rusted boats and a few scrap metals on the side of the bay. After a half hour I was ready to leave, but was a prisoner of boredom and didn't have any choice but wait until this boat ran its merry-go-round course. We were so bored, that I took out my Kindle Fire and started playing games on it and my sister took out her cell and play her games on it. When the boat finally docked, I was trying to run as fast as I can out of there, but couldn't until the boat was fully docked.
I give the boat two stars, one for the food, the food was good and the wall paper was elegant. But if you like boredom and like to be billed for other peoples drinks that you don't know, then this boat is for you.
Other than that, I recommend the Spirit of New Jersey. When we took this in 2011 on Mother's Day, we were greeted with a Happy Mothers Day from the speaker, streamers were thrown, excellent food, singers and dancing. The Spirit is worth the money...
Don't go on the Cornucopia, its not worth it....the bad reviews are true and we should have taken it into consideration before going on this boring cruise.
