Disappointed – It was a lovely day for an excursion on boat. That was about the only redeeming thing about my experience on the Portland Spirit. While the crew was certainly polite, the servers and bartender were overworked and it took considerable time for many members in our group to get their drinks. The most disappointing part was the dinner. We ordered the salmon, but the consensus at the table was that all dishes were completely bland. Cafeteria food in a retirement home. I will say that the cheesecake was decent and t... read more

Celiac Sufferers Beware – I had made a reservation in advance for my wife's birthday. She had never been on the Portland Spirit and was looking forward to a nice meal on a beautiful cruise. Because she is celiac, I requested a gluten free meal. Two days before the dinner, I called to make sure that they could accomodate her dietary needs and was assured that the chef would provide a tasty alternative. When we arrived we told the bartender/waitress that we had prearranged a gluten free selection. Her response was that there w... read more

Disappointing and NOT recommended – We went on a dinner cruise and the only merit for the evening was being out on the River. The boat is dreary and no effort has been made to make the dining room more cheerful. The dinner was mediocre, lacked flavor, was poorly presented and reminded me of a large TV dinner! Even though dinner was (expensively) prepaid, they nickel and dimed us by charging extra for the appetizer and dessert. Apart from the cruise director, the service was surly and non-existent: we couldn't get a second dr... read more

Allows floating memorial services and scattering ashes – A family member passed away recently who had stated that he wanted to be cremated. He never liked funerals. He was a sports fisherman until arthritis crippled his hands so he could no longer hold a fishing pole. With that in mind we were looking for an inexpensive way to scatter his ashes in the river on a cool April day so he could rest near his favorite Willamette fishing spots, and celebrate his life with a few close friends. After a few calls I found out that the P... read more

We Had a Romantic Time on the Portland Spirit – I was racking my brain about where to take my wife for her birthday last weekend, and decided that a trip on their boat was a good idea. It was very a very different setting than any resturant you'll find in town (because it takes you up the river, no not to prison), but on the other hand you'll find the type of entertainment you'd expect in a nicer place like Wilfs for instance. The food was great and tasted fresh. I had their beef option and thought that it was tender and wel... read more

River Cruise – A big group of us decided to go on the brunch cruise that the portland spirit offers about a week ago. We agreed that it was a great deal for all of the food and free champagne that they served us. They offered various meats, egg selections, cheeses, and a yummy vegi lasagna, as wells as desert. The service was friendly and surprisingly knowledgeable about river ride. Fellow foodies, go, try it and let me know what you think CB

Portland Spirit is a pirate ship, they get you on and steal your loot! – It was a nice trip down the WIllamette, but don't expect a great meal. The service wasn't typical of a meal of it's price range either. The salad was remarkably bland and uninteresting. The Salmon was mediocre as well as my GF's beef tenderloin. It was not horrible, but for the price, it could of been much more impressive. The drinks from the bar are pathetic and extremely weak. They use generic everything. The live entertainment was a joke. There was a... read more
