My husband and I took the New Year's Eve Cruise 2009 $360). There was inclement weather, which is not the fault of Argosy, however, they had the passengers standing in a very long line outside without cover for roughly 30 minutes. Not really good on the hair or the clothes. Our seating was on the 3rd deck, the smallest area on the boat. The tables were were so close together that our stomachs were pressed against it, and we were unable to move. My husband and I are tall, and it was not the best of situations. We had to share a table with another couple, which was not a problem, but all the passengers were in such close proximity that it was very uncomfortable. We had the salmon and prime rib. We were not asked how we wanted the prime rib, and therefore, the waitress brought my husband, who is strickly a "well done guy" the rawest meat I've ever seen... He ate it, but he wasn't happy about it. Our table guest didn't eat his food at all. When it came time for the toast, we were given a 1/2 glass of champagne. We didn't get up to dance because getting back into our seats at the table would require the people behind us to pull their chairs out each time. We will not do this cruise again. Pros: None Cons: Several

We finally did a Christmas Ship Cruise last Dec. It was alittle chilly. so bring the layers. It speeds out of Kirkland. The mother in law was a snow queen/ Princess, and she was all about the Cruise. It's a nice way to check out bonfires on Madison Beach Pros: not too spendy

Worst experience of our Seattle trip. I took my parents to Seattle to celebrate their 40th Anniversary and we were going to take the Locks cruise. We arrived about half an hour before the next departure, purchased our tickets, and was told to wait in the center area and that a bus would be picking us up and take us to our departing location. They announced the bus would be arriving and to move out to the street which we did along with a couple of other couples however we never saw a bus for Argosy. Finally, one of the other couples went asked about the bus and found out we were all standing in the wrong place. They failed to tell us we had to walk further north along to pier to another loading location for the bus. By the time we found out the bus had already left, we missed the cruise, and the next one wasn?t scheduled for 3 hours later. I went back to the ticket counter and demanded a refund and asked to speak to a manager. I was sent to a building along the pier to speak to a manager. I explained to her my experience and all she said was we knew we were missing some passengers and looked for them. I know that is not true because the person at the ticket counter could see us the whole time we were waiting for the bus and never helped us. The manager made no effort to get us on that cruise or the harbor cruise that was leaving in 15 minutes. At least I did get a refund but the experience ruined my parent?s anniversary. If you?re going to use this company make sure you know exactly where to be or you will literally miss your boat. Cons: They don't explain clearly where to go for your cruise

I?ve done harbor cruises, locks cruises, the water taxi (from west Seattle to downtown), a Christmas cruise, parties, etc. all on Argosy, every one has been excellent. Boats are impeccably clean and comfortable. Staff are so friendly and will really knock themselves out for you. Events are reasonably priced for what you get (a boat + crew!). The boats have bars on them that are well stocked (for a boat) ? and the staff really want everyone to have a fun time, but are committed to safety above all else (don?t mess with them ? they WILL turn that boat around and take you back). I highly recommend all of their tours and services, great company.

For Mom's birthday we took her on the Royal Argosy dinner cruise in Seattle, and she swears up and down it was the best birthday party she's ever had. The cost for the cruise was $88 per person (value season, they call it) which seemed like a lot when I was first researching it, but I figured Mom was worth it. I couldn't have been more pleased with this dinner cruise. We started with a lovely bread basket, and everyone loved their entrees. My mushroom ravioli was delightful, and mom can't stop talking about her Alaskan Salmon. All in all, it was a great value, and I would recommend it for any special occasion.

If you want to experience Seattle, this is a great cruise. The food is great and the views amazing. It is also great for group events like birthdays or anniversarys.

This is a great place for a private party or for a large event. It provides a very fun and private atmosphere with great views of Seattle. The service is great and you won't forget the experience.

The company offers a variety of cruises around the Puget Sound area at a reasonable price. The boats are nice and clean and the staff is very knowledgeable on the areas toured. It is worth the money when you have guests visit or just as a local Seattle-ite. Fun boat ride, worth the money!

While in Seattle my Dad and I decided to take a site seeing cruise around the Bay. We were able to walk right up and buy tickets for the next trip. As you are boarding they took everyones picture in front of the boat and had they had them ready for purchase by the time you docked. The cruise was great; it lasted approximately 45min to an hour and was very informative about the city. We learned from our guide all about the citys history, the Space Needle, West Seattle, Mt. Rainier, the Pike St. Market, the Mariners, and the even the port. It was very interesting and entertaining on such a beautiful day. Of coarse, they dont have a lot of days like that so the boat had an inside area with tables to sit at and windows to look out of. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is visiting Seattle. Argosy Cruises fun for the kids and interesting for the adults.

My husband brought me on the Argosy dinner cruise for our 10th anniversary. Not only was the food great, there was the most gorgeous sunset to make the evening just perfect. While I can't guarantee a perfect sunset for you, I CAN tell you that you will not be disappointed in the food, service, or staff!
