| - Review of the Sunday Brunch Cruise
The view and the experience of being on the water is wonderful but if you are considering a brunch cruise, I would reconsider it and go for brunch at one of the many wonderful culinary establishments in Toronto.
For fifty dollars per head, I expect more than what I had experienced. If they offered less but it tasted better. I would have been so much happier! Whether you are a foodie or not, the brunch on this boat seems like such an after thought. Yet on their website it presents you with such a succulent and bountiful experience.
In addition, to all of that, they make you wait for an extended period of time before you can head over to the controlled buffet section. They call out table numbers over a muffled PA system. Our section, waited and waited, until our section of tables got so frustrated by the other tables that were already going seconds, that we just headed for the food.
Be wary, if you try and help yourself to some of the food that has an attendant standing in front of it, they will take the ladle from you and portion the amount out. I and the person ahead thought we had done something terribly wrong by the facial reaction on the woman's face.
The bacon and sausage were overcooked. The potatoes had an aftertaste, I wish I could describe. Food overall tasted dry but not stale.
A small selection of meats, cheeses, diced fruits and breads. For those wanting salad, you have a choice between a bean salad and a plain mixed green salad. It looked like they just deposited a pre-made container from your grocery store into a bowl with no extra effort to put fresh vegetables. We found a tomato - one small slice and a slice of cucumber. It was like an Easter egg hunt, I tell you. I have had better salad at McDonald's.
In addition,they offered a pasta dish with barely any sauce. Such an odd option considering the rest of their menu. It was awful.
When I am enjoying brunch I would like to enjoy it with a cup of coffee. I really don't know what the reasoning is behind serving coffee when brunch is almost finished. It was thoroughly disappointing. So bring a coffee with you and explain why. I had not really had one. Saving myself for brunch - giant mistake.
Customer service can change my mind about almost anything. The cruise started off well with a pleasant check in lady and the welcome aboard. However, our server, rarely came to our table so when we did have questions it was difficult. There were quite a few employees around but everyone seemed to be running around doing things and looking, well, not friendly. I was really happy when a staff person just smiled randomly. That goes a long way.
They represent Canada to the tourists from Canada and beyond. I felt they may think this our best and it really is not.
I have been on a multitude of boat cruises for dinner, a general cruise or for parties. This was a definite surprise from my previous experience.
