Southern Empress Cruises, Texas, United States
3.0 (96 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Willis Boat Tours
Pleasant
I had read reviews and was prepared. The ship does need a major overhaul and I hadn't thought about all the stairs for my friend. It was difficult to be outside with the bugs that were flying around but we found a dark place away from the lights and avoided them. The owners were very nice and took good care of us. The food was good and plenty of it. We had chicken with mashed potatoes and corn and bread pudding dessert. The parking area wasn't large but many people had taken a taxi and avoided any hassle. It was a very nice evening and I hope the new owners will keep this lovely ship afloat!

Can’t recommend it, sad to see it so run down
Ship is very run down and I’m desperate need of repair and upgrades. Floor boards bad, all carpet needs to be removed, literally all areas of the boat were run down. Food was marginal. Dinner was served right at sunset - best time to be outside on deck was spent downstairs eating dinner. Very disappointed and not worth $75 per person. Too bad as this is a neat idea on a lovely lake but apparently no one takes pride in the boat anymore. Won’t be back and can’t recommend it. So sad to see it so run down. We did this cruise about 11 years ago and loved it, too bad they didn’t keep it updated.

Great Concept.....needs improvement
The boat is in desperate need of upgrades. Food looked catered and not fresh. Music....an individual with music tracks and sang songs while he sat behind the table. Did not really engage crowd.
