Spirit of Chicago Cruise



Dana and Chuck toured the shores of Chicago via a dinner cruise on Friday night. We had a blast! The only downfall was how cold it was, but thankfully, you could just hang out inside the boat all night if you wanted to. It departs from Navy Pier, and we amazingly found parking right next to the boat.

The buffet dinner was fabulous with lots to choose from: beef, chicken or fish along with several side dishes and a range of desserts. Our favorite was hands-down the beef - but I'm also a sucker for desserts, especially the eclairs and amazing chocolate cake garnished with strawberries.

The main entertainment was dancing. On our cruise, there were a couple of high school parties who pretty much did all the dancing. The cruise director also pulled out a couple of amusing routines involving audience participation. For more information about the cruise, visit http://www.spiritofchicago.com/. The Spirit of Chicago cruise is a more dressy event. For a more casual cruise, try Mystic Blue Cruises. All in all, we had a great time although I would recommend trying to go when evening temperatures are above 60! I would have preferred to be able to roam outside a little more.
