Excellent dinner and customer service. The food was unexpectedly amazing as was the ambiance. Don’t forget your Dramamine if you get car or motion sick!

To end our evening after visiting the caverns we decided to book a dinner cruise on Lake Shasta. We walked down the many steps and down a steepish hill to the boat, but they offered a shuttle for those with bad knees or in need of assistance. Once we arrived on the boat we were given table assignments. The tables were set for 4 people on each side with 5 tables I believe, so a nice small group of folks. We were directed by Captain Matt on a quick safety brief and we were under way! We made our way out into the lake before sunset, but the weather cooperated and it was a gorgeous evening! After a while each table was given the direction to go to the back of the boat to start with salad and fruit. The servers had brought us some lovely sweet rolls with a delicious homemade butter! As we were going along I recall thinking, “Where do they keep the hot food?” Well, next thing I knew here comes another boat with grills on it to deliver it to us in the middle of the lake! How cool is that? Once the hot food made it aboard, the same sequence of each table getting up to serve themselves went forward. They had a variety of meat options (garlic shrimp, teriyaki chicken, and tri tip) along with potatoes and veggies. Captain Matt was excited to tell us the history of Lake Shasta and its future plans. Wrapping up the dinner we were offered dessert with several choices. There is no alcohol aboard the ship, but the website indicates that you may bring your own libations should you choose. It was a nice relaxing evening and we both enjoyed it!!
