I took a cruise on Henrietta III this past week with my husband and friends (including a child) and it was very pleasant. It was a 1.5 hr narrated tour giving you the historical facts and anecdotes about Wilmington. The cruise is slow and relaxing. I liked most passing by the Wilmington port where a huge cargo ship was being... more

My wife & I took the Fourth of July cruise aboard the Henrietta III. We sailed from Downtown Wilmington to just past the NC Port before returning to the dock to await the fireworks show. The cruise was great- just a slow, relaxing trip down the river. The service was fantastic and the southern style buffet was good. Once back... more

New Year’s Eve is a time to reflect on the past year and look ahead with anticipation for what the new year will bring. For my roommate Lisa and me this past year was full of anticipation that began on New Year’s Eve way back in December 2007. The night started out with a 2-hour drive to the Cape Fear... more

My mother bought myself, my husband, my dad and my brother and his girlfriend all tickets to do the Saturday evening dinner dance cruise ($47.50 each).

The food was not gourmet, but was fine. DJ played a variety of music, slow and fast and people seemed to be having a good time dancing. We... more

What is billed as 1.5 hour sightseeing tour is actually a 45 minute trip each way down the river and back without much to see after leaving in Wilmington in the first five minutes. The monotone narration about nothing in particular rapidly became grating. On the trip back, there is no narration and it is quiet and relaxing on the... more

My wife and I went on the Friday evening "dinner dance". Not much of a dance theme. The DJ was not very good and didn't play anything worth dancing to at all. The food was excellent and if you are just going for the food, good idea. The scenery traveling down the Cape Fear river was just okay. On our... more
