mixed; I've been on it twice. First time as part of a couple; we were sardined tight at a long table for dinner; food not good and a blase experience; this was about 15 years ago. Second time as a large party that chartered the boat; great time, although the food was industrial

Haven't been on the Dandy but I have been on the Odyssey a couple of times for Mother's Day and other occasions, great cruise and food. The Odyssey is all glass, after your meal, you can walk around on the deck. You may want to check it out www.odysseycruises.com

Isn't "dandy" a euphemism for faggot?

I took a cruise on the Dandy about 5 years ago. I remember the food being pretty good, we had plenty of room at our table which is to say that we weren't bothered by those around us. They made pretty good (overpriced) drinks. Worth it in my opinion.

Been several times, very enjoyable.On a daytime cruise they forgot to remove a bowline and removed part of the dock while backing out. The Capt WAS NONE TOO HAPPY

Surprised my mom for her 50th with a cruise on the Dandy. Excellent time was had by all, decent food, the wait staff was decent but for the price could use a more rigorous training program. Never felt cramped, the view around you is great, the entertainment felt a bit cabaret.

I went on the dandy about 7 years ago for an anniversary, it was great. The food was good and it was very relaxing. Fun fact was we were in our early 20s at the time and was by far the youngest but that was not a bad thing, no loud people to ruin the mood. IN THIS ECONOMY, the dandy is a great deal.

Gonads and Strife is correct, drinks are very good and overpriced.

I had been on the Dandy twice,they are good, you might find it enjoyable, but I to be honest I like the Sprit of Washington.
