I was reading about dinner cruises but they require a jacket and we aren't going to bring dressy clothes for vacation. How about the lunch or siteseeing tours. Are they worth it? Which company did you cruise with?

We took a lunch cruise on The Odyssey several years back and really enjoyed it. The food was decent and they had a live band playing. Here's a link

Three years ago we did a lunch cruise on Spirit of Wash. - www.spiritofwashington.com

I'd do it again - it's about 3 blocks from Metro

We enjoyed a Potomac River dinner cruise some years ago that departed from the waterfront in Alexandria VA. The boat did & U-turn up near Georgetown, then cruised back to the dock near Old Town. We were guests of a real estate broker with whom we had done some repeat business. It was coat & tie, as I recall.

It's a shame the men won't have a jacket. The evening cruises are well worth the effort. Our favorite is the Dandy out of Alexandria. http://www.dandydinnerboat.com/

For no meals, just a tour of the river, try the Admiral Tilp at the base of Cameron Street in Alexandria, at the City docks. http://www.potomacriverboatco.com/admiraltilp.php

You said that you didn't want to bring dressy clothes for vacation, but you are coming into a cosmopolitan area. In order to feel comfortable, I would recommend that the women have dressy slacks and tops or a dress, and that the men have jackets and collared shirts.
