“We booked this full inclusive package that had it all we thought. The falls, the boat ride and the Niagara on the Falls Herritage Dusteict for 45 min as well as the worlds smallest Chappell and Brock’s Minumental National Historic Site.

“Our server on board the Cavalier Maxim was very attentive to our dietary restrictive needs. There was live music - a wonderful lady played her harp during dinner and after dinner there was a DJ and guests were invited onto the dance floor. There was a variety of music which included Latin music. This was very much appreciated, but being from the Caribbean it would have been nice to hear some calypso and/or reggae. However, this did not detract us (2 women in our late 60's) from having a good time. I got to practice my French with a couple of amazing passengers.”
