We took the locks cruise during sunset. Seeing the city as well as the mountains at twilight made it worth every penny (it is fairly expensive). This was a birthday gift so I guess its easy for me to say but I wouldn't regret paying for it. The trip was so romantic and beautiful. The tour guides were pretty informative and the crew was friendly. I think its great for both tourists and locals. You learn a little bit of trivia and if you are new to the area a lot about the different neighborhoods of Seattle. It gives you a good sense of the city. But besides all that, its just fun to go out on a boat trip once in a while and see the salmon jump! :)

My wife and I took an Argosy dinner cruise with our company about a month ago. Generally we had a good time. The cruise provided wonderful views of Seattle, especially at night, and took us through several little island nooks that were fun to cruise by. I'd say the food was above average for a dinner cruise - a reasonable selection and pretty well prepared. The desserts were quite good. There were two things I didn't like about the cruise. First and foremost, the band had a very louge act kind of feel and was not much fun to listen to. They should have been playing jazz, not more contemporary fare that doesn't exactly suit people having dinner conversation. Second, there was way too much upselling on the cruise. There were so many rules about what was included and what was extra it got annoying. Overall we had a good time but once was enough, at least for this particular cruise.

Although we live in the Seattle area, my husband and I decided to take an Argosy Cruise around Lake Washington because we are on vacation this week and wanted to do something vacationish. We took the 2-hour lake cruise which takes you around Lake Union, through the Montlake Cut, and touches a bit of Lake Washington. We went by the Bill Gates house and the Sleepless in Seattle floating home among lots of other things. It was a good deal because we used the Entertainment Book coupon (buy one get one free). It came to $30 for the two of us. It was a fun, well-narrated cruise. Try to score free parking by parking next to the street.

I wonder why I didn't take a harbor cruise earlier. Argosy's "Harbor Tour" is one of the items in City Pass' "Seattle" ticket booklet, so grandma and I basically got in for half price. She didn't want to do a lot of walking, and while we sat we saw some of the best views of Seattle I've ever seen! At the entrance was someone with a digital camera for pictures by the boat -- bring your own camera, they wanted $10 for one and $15 for two pictures and don't give you a copy of the digital file! They have a tour guide blabbing about the area, which I actually found helpful because he knew some things I did not already know. Their boats can double as reception halls and are probably great for weddings. But what I liked most was seeing Seattle from a different vantage, to get a new visual perspective of the beautiful parts of town.

We went on this tour with the Citypass that we purchased for our Seattle trip. The pass comes with a 1 hour harbor cruise or you can upgrade for around $15-$20 dollars to the 2 hour locks cruise. For our trip, they bussed us to where the ship was docked and we boarded. They had lots of seats up on deck for you to sit on and some inside if it got too cold. The coolest thing was going through the locks. It was interesting to see how that all works. It was also cool being in the Harbor and seeing the city from the water. The ships crew were incredibly nice and full of information. They had light snacks and drinks on board for you to purchase and they also had a bathroom. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone.

My husband and I recently too the Royal Argosy dinner cruise. We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the views, but the food was substandard. Their website and menu tout food from the same restaurants as the Metropolitan Grill and Elliots, but it was nowhere near as good. The food certainly wasn't bad, but it wasn't worth the price, especially since the pre-paid dinner was actually quite limited. Half of the menu items required you to pay over and above the ticket price, which I think is a pretty sleazy thing to do. The drinks were expensive and average. We did enjoy our evening, in part because we were celebrating our anniversary and were determined to have fun, but in the future we'd choose a plain old sight-seeing cruise instead of this overpriced dinner cruise. Our waiter was extremely inattentive, to the point that my husband's soup was tepid and our bill didn't arrive until the boat had already docked.
