I understand visitors want to capture the best photos of Paris BUT….does that mean they get to ruin the experience for others? We paid for expensive seats to have a window view of our cruise. Sitting down to enjoy the view, we couldn’t have been happier. Then SHE showed up…and unfortunately hardly returned to her seat. With all this hair (who wants hair over their food?), she hung over my daughter-in-law like a dark cloud most of the experience. The wait staff had to constantly move around her, she pulled the hair of my daughter-in-law, bumped into her, all while snapping selfies and photos of Paris. In question - If you pay for the center of the ship seats, do you have the right to come stay by the window on top of guests have paid to be by the window while dining? I finally had to ask the staff to request she leave. However, should the staff have handled this situation much earlier by asking the guest to return to her seat?
I brought my girlfriend, now fiancé after this trip, to Paris as a surprise for her birthday and to get engaged. I only booked a couple things early, a bike tour, and this River Seine Lunch Cruise. This was worth every penny and then some. We did the Etoile lunch service which was at a table in the middle of the boat. If you're not looking to spend a lot, I definitely recommend the Etoile service. You get fantastic views of the scenery and nearly the same service. Our waiter worked our table as well as tables along the edges of the boat. There are some food/drink differences with the higher priced tables, but since this was lunch I don't feel like we missed out on anything. Speaking of, the food was fantastic, as was the wine. We're hoping to serve the same champagne and wine at our wedding! You won't regret booking this lunch cruise!
The food was unique but all tasty. I got a aperol spritz which was a little extra but still good. The dessert was the best part for me. The views were amazing from the boat. I went solo and this seemed like a romantic boat cruise which was a little awkward but I was put in front on the window with an amazing view. I did a different boat cruise as well later in my trip and this one was far better than that one.
An excellent cruise with excellent food. On the journey that the cruise takes, you see all the main sights (Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty) whilst enjoying really delicious food. The decor and layout is fairly upscale, and all tables seemed to have a good view (though others are right in saying sitting by the window on the left is a perfect view!). Menu choices were good, seemed to be something that everyone could have. Photographer does try to come round to make you buy a memento keepsake (good for some just not for us!), and be warned no tap water means you pay at least €7 for a small bottle of Evian. 100% would recommend and would do again in a heartbeat next time we are in Paris. As some mentioned, slightly hard to find but go down stairs by love lock bridge and there’s a cabin selling cruises - it’s just to the left of the cabin. No queue system so free for all getting on but tables were allocated so did not need to rush.
