Star Fleet Yachts: Lober, Tom

I took my wife for our 15th anniversary. We were extremely disappointed as the night was not what the web site lead me to think we would find. First and the only positive part - the food was average and the staff was ok although as we were lined up to board we were treated like cattle and not respected patrons. As we walked onto the second deck, where I paid extra to sit, the DJ was playing rap and occasionally a rock-n-roll number. The mix did not last as we were soon to get pounded with only rap and some form of disco dance I did not recognize. In short he did not cater to everyone but rather to a loud, noisy piece of the group that wanted to scream and line dance the night away. There were many that sat on the first deck waiting for the trip to be over. I wish someone had told me the event would cater to the aging hip-hop crowd and I would never have spent that much money on two hours...or any money on any hours. more

This was a Groupon purchase. I work 1 month pre-scheduled and all cruises I could chose from were filled. I tried to reason with Star Fleet, but they were rigid, even though they had over 2,000 Groupons and the company only ran a few trips a week if that. I had to book a 4pm cruise..not exactly a ""sunset"" cruise. We were to board 15min before departure. People lined up blocking the parking lot, the sun was blazing down, and no shade. We boarded 10 min late, and they wanted to take pictures as you boarded...people were hot, sweaty and the line move very slow to board because of this delay. Most people had designated tables below in the air conditioning, some didn't and sat above deck in the open but deck. They could have let people pre-board in the air-conditioned dining room and made more money off drinks while they waited. Drinks were very slow to come. Everyone had piled in at once and were hot. No instruction, so our table (there were the 2 of us and 2 other couples we didn't know and they didn't know each other) went to the buffet since a line had started. After we sat down with our food, we heard they were serving people from upstairs 1st, then called each table one by one downstairs. We got angry glances from the other tables. Dinner was a buffet style chicken or beef, salad, fruit, rolls, and different desserts. Food was tasty, even for buffet style and non-alcoholic beverages free. \r After dinner we went outside. One of the stewards had an armful of beads was throwing them to the people on the boardwalk, instead of offering them to the customers to throw.\r Pros: a nice day out, food was good, non-alcoholic beverages free. \r Cons: rigid as to their policies when they offer a Groupon, can't accommodate the amount sold (should extend the expiration date or allow payment of the difference to go on a different cruise they offer!). Need to have some form of shade while waiting, especially when running late in boarding, or should let people board early! Should have line direction in the parking lot. Need explanation of expectations (dinner lines, etc.) Employees should give passengers the beads to throw. \r Pros: Food was really good for buffet style\r Cons: make you stand in the hot sun, no explanation on board Pros: Food was really good for buffet style Cons: make you stand in the hot sun, no communication on board more

My wife and I had a wonderful time on our Star Fleet dinner cruise. We drove down to Kemah from Spring for a date night and the dinner cruise was well worth the drive. The service was wonderful, the food was excellent, and relaxing with good champaign and a nice sea breeze was a wonderful way to spend the evening. Pros: Friendly Service, Great Food, Romantic Atmosphere more

We had the most lovely and relaxing brunch at Star Fleet. After being greeted by the crew when we came on board, we took a quick tour. We found indoor and outdoor space for large groups and small groups (our favorite was on the bow - perfect sized for our small group). The food was absolutely delicious - the seasoning on the beef was especially good - and the service felt relaxed, but our glasses were never empty. The staff was very attentive. The day was gorgeous, and we cruised out to Galveston Bay and in Clear Lake - we just felt we couldn't ask for more. Pros: Friendly Service, Scrumptious Food, Great day on the water more

We had out of town guests here for a wedding and I was looking for something fun & unique to do the day after the wedding. We went on the Sunday brunch cruise and it was perfect! In our group were people from 3 years old to 80 and everyone had a great time. The kids loved steering the boat, everyone enjoyed the food (eggs benedict on a buffet that were actually yummy!), and I enjoyed sitting and watching the scenery as I drank the best Bloody Marys I ever had (I was mother of the bride and was ready to relax). It was a very special treat for our guests from the cold north since the day was beautiful. I would definitely do this again and recommend for other people as well. Pros: Food, scenary, Bloody Marys more

We enjoyed the romantic cruise for our 5 year wedding anniversary. It started out with drinks and the wait staff was very attentive. About 10 minutes after departure, we were able to toss mardi gras beads to people on the boardwalk. Next, we had a buffet style dinner of beef, fish, potatoes, rolls, and fruit...Very tasty. All throughout and after our dinner our DJ played ""somewhat romantic"" music. It seemed he only had homemade burned karaoke discs and no songs were from the original artists. I felt kinda sorry for him, he asked for $20 per song request and only had a discman connected to a guitar amp. Every time he needed to change the song, he had to remove the disc and put in a new one. Needless to say, only 3-4 couples out of 20 slow-danced. All and all it was a great experience. I would have loved to hear some great music as well. Pros: Excellent Food, Excellent Serice, Music could be better Cons: DJ/Trumpet player/Singer had inadequate equipment more

This was our first time to take a dinner cruise with Star Fleet at Kemah. It was our 9th Anniversary. We were very delighted with the exquisite service, the food was delicious, and entertainment funny . The water was serene plus there was dancing and a DJ on the top deck. We can't wait to go again. We recommend it to everyone. Pros: Best food, entertainment, and great experience! more

We went Thanksgiving day and the food was excellent. Turkey and ham, dressing, potatoes, giblet gravy, salads, desserts, etc. Complimnetary drinks were served and the service was great. We went to the upper deck after eating and spent the rest of the time listening to the great live music and enjoying the view. I would recomend this cruise to anyone who wants to relax and eat on the water and hear live music and even dance if you like. We wanted to stay on the boat all day! The two hours goes by quick, but we enjoyed every minute of it! We will be going back again soon! Pros: great food, service and music more

I was looking for something to put the sizzle back into our marriage. Something the wife wasn't expecting. And the value and experience we got from going on the sunset cruise was exceptional. Pros: Great food, worry free entertainment, great value more

I sent my parents on a romantic cruise on Star Fleet, and the WILL NOT stop talking about how wonderful it was. My dad keeps pulling out the pictures they took and telling me how great of a time they had. They sat on the upper deck by the water like I had requested. The fish my mom had was excellent and so was the salad. It was such a perfect night for my mom and dad.My mom told me for a few hours she felt like she was in a different world! I am going for the Halloween cruise and I know to expect great service and an awesome time. This cruise is perfect for a quick romantic getaway. Pros: Great price, accomadating staff, great service and food. more

We celebrated our anniversary on this cruise and we were not disappointed. The crew was very nice and attentive. I will definitely take this cruise again. Great value for the price. I just wish it was a little longer. Pros: Delicious Food more

We thoroughly enjoyed our Dinner Mystery Cruise 09/06/2009 Pros: Excellent local family, friends, personal celebrations Cons: Too much fun, no complaints more

Getting the tickets was a disorganized waste of time. We went to the office and the staff and even the owner couldn't figure out how to use the system. We tried the Internet and the site was not secure The night of the cruise we arrived early as suggested in the ticket e-mail and were forced to stand outside in the heat and wait for the caterer to bring the food. The credit card machine was broken, so some people couldn't buy drinks and of course they were so classy as to serve you serve drinks in plastic cups! When we told the owner he should give us a free bottle of wine for our trouble, he offered instead to cancel our tickets! Pros: Food was good Cons: disorganized & rude office staff more

Well, this was a very last minute decision to celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary. I must say we had a delightful time. The accomodations were first class. The service was excellent and well organized. The champagne was cold and we had a memorable celebration. We definitely recommend the murder mystery cruise to all procrastinators! We hope to be back with some of our friends in the future. Thanks to all. Pros: Entertaining, classy, well organized Cons: Not a single negative thing more

As a celebration for my fiance's graduation, I planned a dinner dance cruise with Star Fleet Yachts and a stay at South Shore Harbour Resort. The cruise and the resort were absolutely nice. This was both of our first times on a dinner cruise and we enjoyed it. He is now thinking of a vacation or small weekend get-away that he can surprise me with so he can outdo my weekend celebration I planned for him. He says that dinner on a yacht has him feeling like a King...LOL. The cruise was amazing. I want my parents to come to Texas just so they can experience this event. WE LOVED IT... THANKS Star Fleet. Pros: Nice food and romantic weekend get-away Cons: Not personal for romantic dates; too close to others more

They have way too many people on the boat. They are packed in down stairs like sardines, it is air conditioned down stairs. Upstairs more room but blazing hot. I would not go again in the summer, even at night dinner cruise was too hot. Music is great Pros: Great food, great service, great music. Cons: Upstairs too hot. If they put you up stairs do not go more

My Friends and I went out on a two hour dinner cruise for my birthday. It was amazing. The staff was so friendly, the service was outstanding, and the food was delicious. We did not want the cruise to end. We wish it could have been longer. This was way better than going out to the same old resturants in houston. I cant wait to do this again. Pros: Staff And Service more

We booked our event 3 months in advance. We requested the Mystery Dinner and was told it would not be offered that particular weekend, only to find out later it was offered, and we had actually been moved to another yacht on Star Fleet that was Not doing the dinner theater. The menu had changed from our original booking, and they were short on food on the buffet line. VERY DISAPPOINTING. more

Thank you and the entire Star Fleet staff for making Kevin and my special day absolutely wonderful. A special thanks to Lydia - she kept us all on point and was always there when needed. The wait staff and bartender were top-notch. They always had smiles on their faces and you could tell they loved their jobs! In addition, the boat was keep immaculate at all times. All the guests agreed the food was the best they had ever had at a wedding. You hear the horror stories of bad reception food. But, our guests went back for seconds and even thirds. Constance's floral creations were absolutely beautiful. With the few conversations that she and I had, the floral arrangements were exactly what I had envisioned for the big day! To Doug, the D.J., he played our preferred song list to perfection and kept the kids entertained. And finally to Jenny's Bakery, the cakes were even more beautiful than we remembered and tasted even better. \r \r Thanks again for a wonderful experience and eve more

I recently spend a fabulous Friday evening on the Star Spirit Firework Cruise - we were welcomed aboard by the friendly smile of Captain Erich and his very efficient cruise Director - from the moment we stepped onboard the service was top rate & the crew made us feel at home. The music played - the drinks and food flowed - we talked to fellow guests - enjoyed some time up on the bridge chatting to the Captain and then had the thrill of watching the fireworks from the water. We did miss out on the delicious pies for dessert as they got cleared away quicker than we realized so get your food when you can! Pros: See a lot of amazing houses and other boats only visible from the lake Cons: Not long enough cruise! more
