Cherry blossom season is truly the best time of year

to book a city cruise because the weather is just starting

to get warm out and it's the best way to see

all the monuments and the blossoms without all the crowds.

I got to attend an event focused on DC tourism and creatives,

City cruises always have an entire bar area,

and if you get the unlimited brunch buffet cruise experience,

I've tried both lunch and brunch experiences,

and the food is always super filling and delicious.

The live DJ and dancing is always a fun touch too,

and be sure to step outside to see the planes,
