A: I have had two fantastic experiences on the Gateway Clipper Fleet. The first was for the Captain's Dinner Dance cruies on Valentine's Day. When you make your reservation, make a request if you want to be seated in a specific area, especially if you want window seating or to be seated on the main floor. I wasn't sure what to expect other than standard banquet fare and some dance music. The cruise exceeded my expectations. They were very efficient on getting passengers on board even though they herd you into a line so they can take your picture as you board the ship. You were able to board about an hour before departure and enjoy a la carte drinks and appetizers. Skip the appetizers and eat something before you get on or just save room for dinner. Drinks were on the expensive side but that is to be expected at this type of event. There were several speciality drinks that come in a souvenier cup. Your second drink will be cheaper because you won't be paying for the glass again. As the boat pulled away from the docks, we were treated to a brief narration about hilights in Pittsburgh's skyline. It was informative enough to give you a taste of information but not so intrusive that it was annoying. Despite a fully packed boat, tables were escorted to the buffet quickly and efficiently and the food supply was constantly replenished. Despite my thoughts that it would be standard banquet food, everything was actually quite tasty. When the buffets were removed, the dancing started. There was a live "band" that had guitar, keyboards and a singer (backed up by tracks of music). Their quality of playing wasn't the best, but I'm a music snob so I let it slide so I could kick back nad have a good time. They played a variety of music ranging over the decades but seemed to mostly focus on disco. I would have preferred there to be more slow cances considering it was Valentine's Day, but we had a great time dancing. Before we knew it, the boat was pulling back in to Station Square and a fun night came to a close. The second time I took the Gateway Clipper was for the shuttle to a Pirates game. The service was efficient and drops you off right at PNC Park. My only complaint is that we just missed getting on to one of hte smaller ships so we had to wait until the larger one was at capacity before they shuttled us to PNC which ended up making us late for the start of the game. If you plan on taking the shuttle, make sure you give yourself enough time.

A: Food: Euro Burgr- Delish! Though I wish I had ordered it cooked medium vs medium-well. (I feel the flavor of the meat was muted because of this). Goat cheese and arugula is ALWAYS a good idea. Parmesan truffle fries were SO good! get them! The atmosphere was on point. From the service, menus, and even the silverware (yes, the silverware!) we were definitely in for an experience.

A:
The few staff I've interacted with have been very pleasant and helpful, and the acupuncturist Matt Wagner has been fantastic at diagnosing and treating my allergies and sinus issues with acupuncture and herbs. It's too early to say anything for sure but this has been my best spring for awhile!
