Thank you so much for everything, it was wonderful and everyone raved about it. Your servers were great and people were extremely happy. You guys did a great job, and everyone was totally impressed with the Captain's park job at the end. People were amazed that he turned like a car and pulled right in. :)
Thanks again for all your help.

Our experience on your boat with your crew was fabulous. Everyone loved the food and the cruise. Our guests gave you many compliments and said it was the perfect venue to introduce the old south and western crew to the Ithaca area. Keith and I appreciate your professional and personal touch in helping us to make this occasion happen. Thank you very much,

On behalf of the Class of 1974 Troy High School, KUDOS! I surveyed the entire group for their satisfaction rating (food,service,etc.) and got an overwhelming two thumbs-up! We enjoyed the food, it was excellent. You made me look good, as the dinner cruise was my part of the day's activities. I will recommend your service to others. THANK YOU.

Jack & I did not want another day to pass before letting you know how grateful we are for all that you did to make the Rehearsal Dinner so special. Our guests all had the best things to say about the cruise and the food and how attentive everyone was. You certainly went above and beyond the call of duty. It was so nice of you to help us decorate, on the boat and in Bliss Events Center. We also appreciate that you brought the food to the Events Center after the cruise. I was so happy to see how you had the Video Viewing room set up, making it possible foro everyone to be comfortable for that part of the evening. You even cut the cake!
Thank you for taking care of all those details while we were caught up in the joy of the moment. It made for a wonderful memory. All the best,
Jack & Sharen

I just wanted to let you know how much my husband and I enjoyed our cruise on the MV Columbia on Saturday evening. The boat is lovely. It easily accommodated a wedding and the other cruisers. Everyone was comfortable and had a great view of the lake. The meal was good and the service excellent. You've hired very capable and hardworking people to staff the cruise. Kudos to you and your staff!

Just wanted to send a quick email to thank you guys for an enjoyable cruise last month. Also wanted to thank you again for all the help just getting us booked. You were very quick in replying to my emails which, between the last minute reservation and poor timing with graduations, helped immensely in getting everything set up.

Just wanted to thank you again for teaming up with us for the Q-Cruise promotion. In case you didn’t already know it, your crew is the best! Even though the weather was bad when everyone arrived, your crew reassured all that the weather would be just fine on we started out and it was… calm and gorgeous. A good time was had by all.

Dear Crew,
Just a short note to thank everyone on The MV Manhattan for hosting our group. On Wednesday, June 20th, 2007, the staff of Veterinary Medicine Information Technology department had a very memorable luncheon aboard your vessel. Nate and Chelsea make a great team! Their attention to detail showed as we also had a surprise birthday celebration for two of our programmers.
Planning this event with you was extremely easy and most enjoyable. The whole atmosphere of our cruise was superb! On behalf of the VMIT staff, thanks again for a most enjoyable time. We look forward to sailing with you again!!!
Sincerely,
The VMIT Staff (Shinita)

Dear CLC,
I can’t thank you enough for accommodating our entire group on yesterday’s champagne brunch cruise. The seating was perfect and we all were thrilled with the lovely trip and delicious food. It was the final event in our 4-day family reunion and everyone felt that it was a wonderful ending. We look forward to doing it again!
Thank so much,
Lois

The cruise was terrific. Everyone raved and definitely want it to be an annual event. Maybe even a cruise in the fall once school gets started and another at the end of the year! We certainly lucked out with the weather. The lake was sooo beautiful. Thanks for everything!

The Singaporean Student Association would like to thank you for an excellent night on board the M/V Manhattan. We all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly tonight, thanks to the great service and the fabulous food! Thank you also for being flexible about boarding and departure times, and for opening the holding room for us to hold our presentation.
I would also personally like to say its been a joy setting this up too – thank you for your prompt responses to emails and phone calls, as well as your willingness to help in any way you can. You can definitely use us as a reference anytime.
Once again, thank you for helping to make our Graduation Night a success!

Cayuga Lake Cruise Line,
This summer I was on two cruises on your line. One was a private charter on July 13th and the other was last Saturday, September 24th on a champagne cruise with my family.
I would like to tell you how much all of us enjoyed the time. The food was great both times and the staff was outstanding. They were not only efficient but were friendly and very pleasant to be around. The staff represented the M/V Manhattan in a very positive way.
Sincerely,
Judy

Wanted to let you know how much our group enjoyed our dinner cruise this past Saturday. Several people remarked how much they liked your crew’s friendly, but laid back approach… you were all there when we needed you, but not in our faces with rules and regs. Just perfect. Real pros.
Several people also told me how much they enjoyed the entire meal, and I know I certainly enjoyed mine.
Nice job… we’ll definitely be joining you again and won’t wait for another 50-year event to do so!
Thank you and best of luck for a prosperous rest of the season,
Melanie
