It says you must meet 45 minutes in advance, but I think arriving 15 minutes before is totally fine! It is quite expensive so I was wondering if it would be worth it, but it was truly a wonderful experience and I am so glad I booked it✨️ Champagne, wine, and water were free to drink! For the menu, you choose an appetizer, main course, and dessert from three options each. I ordered the foie gras, sea bass, and cheesecake! I wonder if the menu changes depending on the day? I got pretty full! There is a photographer on board who takes pictures of you! They were great photos, but since they were for a fee (I feel like they were quite expensive), I decided not to buy them. The timing of the cruise was just right; the boat returned to the starting point right around when we finished dessert. I was also happy that we passed by the Eiffel Tower twice✨️
