"We had an amazing time last night. I've received calls and emails today saying that was the best cruise they've been on. The food was great, the on ship staff were awesome. Special mention should be made to Rachel, she was professional, detailed and made sure we were well looked after and I think she had fun. Please extend a huge Thank you to all the staff! "

"What a huge success!! Just wanted to extend my thank yous to everyone at Mariposa Cruises for making my parents 50th Anniversary party a great event. I cannot begin to express what a real gem Konul was. She was more than 110%. I truly know I would not have gotten through it without her. Not to mention the rest of the staff as well as your attentiveness leading up to this. All of our guests did not know what to expect and truly appreciated how it all came together. They were totally comfortable, enjoyed the ride and the hospitality. Thank you again and I look forward to recommending Mariposa Cruises to my family and friends."

"Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for yet another outstanding experience on one of your cruises ! This was our third time out, and it gets better every time. This time around we had two elderly ladies as our guests ( 86 and 80), from the time of boarding right thru to departure they were treated like royalty by your staff . From the offers of assistance with the boarding, which they declined , to the departure, they were made to feel most welcome and special. They were thoroughly surprised by their brunch cruise and commented many times on the great food and service, and how clean the bathrooms were ( very important to them ). Even though the weather did not exactly co-operate, a great time was had by all, and we will be back again . Our compliments to the chef(s) and to all who made it an experience to remember for our guests. This is the second time we've taken out of town guests on a brunch cruise and would highly recommend it to anyone . The view of the islands and the skyline looking back towards our fine city is not to be missed. We were making small talk with our fellow 'cruisers' and recommended the Air Show Cruise to one and all as that was our first experience with 'cruisin''.. Keep up the good work, and hats off to the crew from Sunday August 22 2010. We look forward to a dinner cruise to see the harbor at night next year. "

"On behalf of Regeneration Housing and Support Services, I want to express my sincere thanks to you and Mariposa Cruises for a lovely luncheon cruise. This cruise was a real special treat for all our clients and their unanimous response was that it was a fun time had by all. Over the years our clients have gone on numerous outings but none so special and well received as this one. Please extend my appreciation to all at Mariposa Cruises for this wonderful outing."

"Mariposa Cruises has been handling our annual corporate event for 6 years, and every cruise is better than the last! The boat is beautiful, the food is exceptional and the entertainment keeps everyone happy from the moment we step on-board. The staff were incredibly helpful – in particular, Sara and Helen – and took the stress of planning and coordinating off our hands. We have no reservations in recommending Mariposa Cruises!"
- Cheryl, JEC, August 2010
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your hard work in helping me plan such a great night. I was so happy with the results and your constant efforts. I am still receiving emails from clients who had a great time. I will definitely be using Mariposa again next year and for years to come. It was a pleasure working with you on the party and you were beyond helpful. Thank you for an amazing experience! You are fantastic."

"Mariposa Cruises not only offers great boat cruises but also provides excellent customer service. The buffet food is delicious and the DJ plays great music. The crew is not only courteous but very hospitable. Book your cruise today through Helen Winn and Sara LaBlanc who are both very friendly and helpful."

"The cruise was great, the weather perfect, not too hot and of course, the weather Gods looked fondly upon us and did not rain (which was called for). How lucky are we. Lots of good food and yes we enjoyed Elvis (thank you for going out of your way and finding Elvis for us) . All in all everyone enjoyed themselves very much.. Thank all the staff on board for the great service."

"Just a quick note to tell you and all your people how happy we were with our experience on The Captain Matthew Flinders. We had arranged a similar cruise through your company 15 years ago and when we arranged this year‘s event many of our customers asked us to “go back to the boat again”. I can see why! It was a great night....we have received nothing but compliments. I must tell you that your staff was terrific. Pamela and Sophie were extremely helpful and courteous. Aaron was very organized and pleasant to deal with. Ivar went out of his way to be friendly with all our guests. The crew was exceptional in helping board a wheelchair bound guest. All in all a very positive experience. You have exceptional people working for you which will make the difference. The night was perfect and we are hard at work trying to think of another reason to use Mariposa! Thanks again."

"I received great feedback by our department members. The staff on board the Showboat were very friendly, professional and attended to our every need. Sincere thanks to Helen Winn and Sara LeBlanc for taking care of every detail from my initial call tight until boarding time. Special thanks as well to Konul, the Cruise Manager, who handled herself very professionally. We look forward to hosting our event again with Mariposa Cruises!"

"Regina and Brenda - on behalf of Starwood Hotels, we just wanted to send a note to say thanks to you and everyone at Mariposa for helping to make last night's event such a success! The clients and hotels onboard had a great time. It was a great venue and just what we needed! Our on board cruise manager was great and very accommodating to our last minute changes. Special thanks Regina for all the work in putting this together and for your patience in getting everything nailed down! It’s our plan to see you again next year!"
- Cynthia Bond, Starwood Hotels June 2010
"Thanks to Helen and Sara at Mariposa and the crew of the fabulous cruise boat, the Rosemary for a wonderful day of fun in the sun! From the moment we boarded until we disembarked everything was perfect. The Rosemary is beautifully decorated and modern with ample inside and outside space. The crew was so attentive and friendly and made my job as the event planner and on-boat contact very easy! I didn’t need to do a thing. I heard nothing but great things about the food served from all of the attendees and I have to say myself that it was absolutely delicious and fresh. Thanks so much Mariposa for making our annual team summer outing such a success. We can’t wait to cruise again!"
- Jennifer, Dairy Queen Canada July 2010
"Sunday was indeed perfect. The right mix of guests along with patient and friendly staff made the day very enjoyable. Everyone had a wonderful time. It was the best surprise anyone could get – a wonderful cruise around our harbour. Thanks so much to you, Helen and the staff at Mariposa cruises for making my 50th birthday, a day I will treasure forever."
- Connie July 2010
"Mariposa Rocks!..The boat was lovely , absolutely perfect size. The crew and captain were beyond spectacular, the wait staff were on top of everyones needs, the wine service, the food was incredible, the crowd couldn’t believe how good it was..and the “candy buffet” well for the 30 some kids aboard will go down in history as the best ever option on a buffet. Amar was wonderful, he was a pleasure to work with, no request was unreasonable and he made a special day even more wonderful. Again thank you to all of you and to those that helped you in the background. The following comments were sent along to us from our family and guests:
“Best wedding ever, best party” ... x 100 people :)
“Fabulous boat, food and ambiance”...

"I thought would pass on some feedback from our July 9th cruise. This is directly from one of the employees: "It was wonderful, well organized, fantastic idea for the bus ride and the cruise was outstanding. A real relaxing time!” Overall, the employees had a wonderful experience on the Oriole. Everyone had a very enjoyable, relaxing time. The food and music were great! Thank you so much again for your help in making our employee event such a success!"
- Bhav McKesson July 2010
"Everyone had a wonderful time last night on the Oriole. Deanne and her staff were great. Thanks again, and it is our hope to do this again next year."
- Dave CIBC Wood Gundy July 2010
"The cruise was fantastic! Everyone was very pleased with the food and service. The weather turned out being clear and warm and we got lots of great shots of the Toronto skyline! Thank you so much for your help setting it all up."
- Melissa, International SOS Canada Company July 2010
"We’ve now arranged ten cruise events through Mariposa since our original “Millenium Cruise” in 2000. Each has been a great success and we’ve had rave reviews from our customers, suppliers and staff each time. At our most recent event in July, we hosted our U.S. business partners, many of whom had never been to Canada before. Mariposa exceeded all expectations and we all thoroughly enjoyed the evening! Please pass on my thanks to all of your staff and in particular to Captain Nancy who in addition to her obvious nautical skills, took the time to explain the workings of the Oriole to my eight year old granddaughter. You can count on seeing us back again!"
- Larry Cox, President Polaris Transportation Group July 2010
"Hi Anne! I just wanted to thank you for all your help in setting up our Dinner Cruise. I’ve gotten nothing but wonderful compliments from everybody that attended. GREAT STAFF AND GREAT FOOD!!!

- Mari All Languages Ltd July 2010
"Hi Sophie & Regina- Just a quick note of thanks to both of you for your attention to the many details of our Friday night cruise for our Conference wrap-up. It was a GREAT event - the weather was wonderful, food and service were great and we were inundated with positive comments. I can't thank you enough for your flexibility, your excellent customer service and especially for that extra little effort in accommodating the gluten-free participants. Those gluten-free cookies were especially appreciated - they were thrilled you arranged for that! Thank you for everything! Adrian, our cruise director, did an excellent job - what a nice guy - and very capable and customer service-focused, too. Please let him know we appreciated all of his efforts on our behalf!"
- Jeannie JB Productions: Conference and Event Management July 2010
"The meal was great, everything was great, the DJ was simply awesome. Amar was wonderful and if we do this event again please have him on hand. Vona- WRIB July 2010"

"What an amazing experience, and what an amazing way to sail into our marriage. What better place to celebrate our marriage but on a boat. Initially, we looked at many different companies and packages and none were even close to the ones offered by Mariposa! Aside from great menu selection and a wonderful boat that was just the right size for our small gathering, the service provided by Mariposa staff on all levels (sales, coordination and staff at the event) were better than I could ever imagine. Our sales representative was patient and supportive, open to many demands and changes, always full of suggestions and most importantly always there for us! Our coordinator was efficient and everything we wanted happened in the exact way we wanted it to. And staff at the boat were friendly, always smiling and interacted with us with respect and care. Many of my friends commented that this was the best wedding they have been to. Some talked about friendly staff who showed them different wildlife on the lake. Others thought that the intimate setting was perfect for a small wedding celebration, while others could not stop ranting about the aesthetics of Rosemary and the wonderful sunset view of the city! I could not be happier with our wedding celebration and would encourage anyone who wants to have a romantic and intimate moment with their friends and family to chose Rosemary as their venue. Thank you so much again for everything!!"

"The cruise, the food and staff of Mariposa's Northern Spirit were all I hoped for and even better than expected. We had a great time and thank you and all those involved for helping me look really good but, more importantly making it a very special fun night for Moslem Shriners - Detroit. Jack, Moslem Shriners July 2010"
- Jack, Moslem Shriners July 2010
"We had a TERRIFIC time on Saturday! The yacht Rosemary and staff were awesome and made sure we had a great time. There were quite a few folks on the boat that have told me they fully intend to book the same kind of parties for themselves because it was such a great experience."
- Dominique July 2010
