We had the BEST experience today on this cruise. Went for lunch as a birthday treat for my hubby! Our Uber driver drove us right to the dock to get the boat instead of at the parking lot to catch the shuttle because we were running close to departure and I didn't want to miss it. They called to make sure we were still coming. On the way there, it was POURING rain! The second we stepped on the boat, the rain slowed and the sun came out!! The rest of the trip was smooth sailing! The staff was amazing! From the captain, to the singer /narrator (Dan or Dave...sorry I can't remember) who was awesome, to his wife Audrey, to the bartender Michelle to Jeff who helped us direct our Uber to pick us up, to Antwain who answered all of our questions, everyone was so nice! We didn't purchase the lunch but the sandwich looked good so I got it and it was pretty tasty. It turned out to be a beautiful day on the Barefoot Queen! We will be back next time we're in SC! Thank you all for a fantastic experience!

Thank you so much for your kind words and your review! We are so happy we could celebrate your husbands birthday with you and are even more thrilled you had a great time!! Hope to see you again!

Food was Good. A Mini Buffet. Had Pork Tenderloin, Baked Breasted Chicken, Seasoned Potatoes, Carrots, Salad & Rolls and for Desert Chocolate Lava Cupcakes. For Drinks they had a Bar, plus Water, Sweet & Unsweet Tea. The Boat was Original but the Paddlewheel is for show only. Still Very Kool! The Entertainment was Great! Les sang songs from all eras accompanied by auto music & back up singers when needed on recording. Plus he gave the history of the Boat, The Area, a Bit of the Mansions along the way. The crew was Great as Well. Did double duty. Plus they were the servers. All were friendly, helpful & great to be around. Definitely would recommend the Barefoot Queen Rides. It was a Smooth Ride. They have both Lunch & Dinner Rides, plus Christmas & New Years Eve & Others. Check Them Out!!!!! Reasonable in Price......

We went on the Adventures in Parrotdice cruise on June 25, 2024 to celebrate Jimmy Buffet. The cruise description was "Hey Good Lookin! Come join us as we cruise the Longitude and Latitude of the IntraCoastal Waterway and celebrate Jimmy Buffet with Cheeseburgers in Paradise and Boat Drinks, as well as other specialty themed food and drinks." We did not see his house as the boat turned around before we got that far. Also, the cheeseburger buns were so hard you could not eat them. That being said, the Barefoot Queen staff were GREAT, very attentive and friendly. We just wish that they had delivered what they advertised.

Jun 27, 2024

HI Cindy, Thank you for your feedback. We are so happy that you joined us for the cruise and apologize it didn't meet your expectations. We did pass Jimmy Buffet's old house on the Waterway before we turned around, I am sorry that you missed that!! We will take note on the food comments you made and take that into consideration on the next cruise with a similar menu. We are glad you enjoyed our crew, we do have some of the best team members around! Thank you again for cruising with us and we do hope to see you another time!

We were visiting from Washington, DC. Thank you, guys, for the experience. The food, drinks, live singing, choices of music, and engagement with other people were just what we needed to make her birthday dinner special. We will be returning. Warm Regards, Catherine

Thank you so much Catherine! We are so thrilled you had a great time and that were a part of the birthday celebration! Thank you so much for cruising with us and we really look forward to welcoming you onboard again soon!

The food was not good everything was either cold or over cooked. There wasn't any entertainment. But sound system music of oldies nothing for younger people. The ladies serving did a great job.

Aug 1, 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We do actually a performer on every cruise. They are stationed upstairs but you can see and hear them downstairs. I'm glad the staff took great care of you and we do hope to see you again!

The river cruise was beautiful and relaxing. The food was average and the customers served themselves beverages from the bar and ate with plastic utensils.

Jun 14, 2024

Thank you for your feedback Sue. We will take it into consideration and hope you have a great day!

Can't understand why this cruise doesn't have a higher rating. We were a group of 48 people from our Waterford Travel Group. We did the dinner cruise traveling up and down the Intracoastal. The service and entertainment were exceptional... our bartender made fabulous drinks and that were so reasonably priced. Everyone enjoyed themselves completely. We throughly enjoyed singing along with the entertainer, who I might add had a great singing voice.. a variety of songs that even got our country western dancers up line dancing. The night was perfect for viewing those homes that you can't view from roadways. Thank you Barefoot Queen... and all their staff!!! Great

Thank you so much Jane! It was a pleasure to have you onboard and we are so thrilled you enjoyed your time with us! We appreciate your kind words and look forward to seeing you again!

Had a great time on the Barefoot Queen. The staff was amazing. The Food was excellent, from start to finish was this was a realy good time. Just can't say enough about the staff they were so friendly and accommodating and the singer was superb. Will definitely do again Thank You !!
