Thankful to Trina our server we had the best time of our lives. We were just celebrating a birthday. This is the best place to have a birthday any type of party. I really enjoyed it.

The Harriott II has always been a special and unique venue. It is always been a family and one dear to my heart. Everyone from Captain to deckhand, bartenders, servers, managers, ticket sells, any part of the crew. It is not a job for the faint of heart. Everyone that is there is there because they want to be. It’s not because the hours are the best. Or you always know your schedule. Each crew-member takes pride in their job, and being a part of the Harriott II! I truly believe if you can make it on that boat, you can make it anywhere. Hospitality is at center everything they do and they go above and beyond to make sure each passenger has a great time and if something does come up, they do their best to make it right. The entertainers that come to play they don’t pick this venue because it’s the easiest to load in/out of 🙌💪🥵🥵 . There’s times cruises are canceled last minute because of the weather or water conditions or change in reservations. The camaraderie and mutual respect that has been cultivated throughout the staff is inspiring. Yes, it’s a business and each person has a job to do, but at the end of the day the relationships go much deeper. I’ve had the privilege to be a guest on multiple occasions, celebrated birthdays, a singer & entertainer at times, stepped in to be an extra set of hands and serve when needed. (Those galley stairs are no joke!) This boat is special not just because my aunt Lainey is one of the managers & Captain Jim is my uncle. It’s more than that. When I first moved back to Alabama in 2013, after my late husband died; This boat and all the crew were a part of my healing. It was a safe place, a place to leave all your cares on the dock, even if it’s for two hours at a time. When I slowly started dating again, they had to pass the Riverboat test. 🤣🤣 if they can survive the whole crew & bands maybe they can hang 🤣🤣🤣. I have since remarried and Captain Jim officiated our wedding💞 It’s been a place safe to bring my children. When they were going through a loss no child should experience at such tender ages, Each person became another dad, another Uncle, a big brother, big sister, an auntie. They made time to put a smile on their faces. The Riverboat and crew helped raise my baby girls(that are not so little anymore 🥺)and each of them have gotten to work and learn something new each time they are there. I’ve always loved how culturally diverse the Harriott II has been and that’s always how I wanted to raise my daughters. 🙏 You see all ages, races, genders, etc. are there on the same boat just to have a good time. Getting to see Montgomery in a different light and get to see the beautiful scenery and sunsets and throw in 3 different decks of entertainment—you feel like you’ve been transported to Savannah or New Orleans. Seeing firsthand how it’s evolved and grown and been transformed over the years has been really special. I’ve been there and helped the crew getting ready for one of the holidays or themed cruises, and so much heart goes into the riverboat and creating the special space for each public and private event. So when the internet blew up & I was seeing texts and calls and videos, these weren’t some strangers— this hit us close to home!

We had the best day! The staff from the captain to security to those assisting with lunch…all great! If you need a fun day on the water with your group, this is it.

I had an awesome time! The outside experience was the best thing for me and my friends! The DJ AAA did his Thang! Music selections fit the crowd perfectly! The sunset was beautiful! It didn't disappoint 🙌

We booked the Valentine's Day cruise and they canceled it due to flooding. That's fine. Where I have a problem is they didn't send me an email. They just posted it on Facebook which I am not checking my dinner reservations on Facebook. I'm checking the confirmation that they sent me which they did send me one after they had posted on Facebook that the cruise was canceled. They didn't contact me about my refund so not only was I out the money I already spent I couldn't make another Valentine's Day reservation because I didn't know that mine had been canceled. We'll never book with them again. Still waiting for them to contact me about my refund

Update I received my refund but they still did not reach out to me I had to check my bank statement to find out they had refunded me.

Yes, I must to do in Alabama. This was a birthday celebration and the staff laid out the red carpet. The food was awesome, the staff was so friendly, live one man band and he was great and the boat was clean. The birthday package included balloons, cake, 3 mins to guide the boat with the captain, souvenir glass and did I mention the dinner, it was delish.
