Mt Washington Cruise Ship Food

WinnDixie · 07-28-2008, 03:06 PM

I was sorry to read of the less than favorable experience on the Mt. during the dinner cruise. I must admit, as much as I love the Mt. Washington, I don't think the night cruises are her best thing, at least not when I was there. I went to a high school reunion on her in the 90's and would have to say that was not the best place for such a gathering. We were in a windowless room in the lower part and had to go upstairs for the food, along with tons of other people. It was very crowded, and hard to mingle with our own group. I agree with Airwaves that she and her sister ships are at their best on the day cruises...and they are wonderful at that. Please, God, keep them sailing!

Since questions about abbreviations have been asked, I am going to ask: what does GFBL mean? I think I saw it once long ago, but can't find it, and resorting to guessing isn't too good, as I don't think it means Great(balls of fire, here comes the) Fastest Boat(on the )Lake! I'm sure someone will help me out! Thanks.

FYI GFBL is Go Fast Be Loud, a non-flattering appellation for boats that are faster or louder than some arbitrary norm.

Back on topic, I think the Mount make a big chunk of their money on night cruises. Let's face it booze is a high profit item and you can't sell booze in NH without serving food.

They have recently been cutting back on their day cruises, I'm assuming because of lack of demand. The night cruises still seem to be every night. Maybe they're cutting down on the food dollars. This is all just guessing I have no inside knowledge.
