    DO NOT BOOK ODYSSEY CRUISE ON OPENTABLE! It will not be booked! I made a reservation via OpenTable on 1/2/20 for 4 people to dine 1/25/20. I provided my credit card during the booking and received a confirmation email as well as a reminder email the day prior. This was to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday and my father's 65th birthday (Their birthdays are 10 days apart). My parents drove an hour into the city from the suburbs and my boyfriend flew in from San Francisco to celebrate with us. Half hour before boarding, we go to check in and found out they did not have our reservation. I showed them my confirmation emails from Open Table and they were still not able to locate my reservation. I was so update as it was for both my parent's birthday and my boyfriend had spent a lot of money to be here that night to celebrate. The tickets were fully sold out so we could not go on the cruise and due to restaurant week, most restaurants in the city were fully booked. My parents drove back home that night without a dinner and my boyfriend left the next morning. Extremely disappointed.

    Let’s begin with this company needs to get there administrative team on the same page. I booked a reservation two weeks ago and just as someone else had reviewed we show up and they do not have any information as to my reservation. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, I was on the phone with their so called “customer reps” to clear the mess while waiting outside in the cold for 30 minutes, literally had the rep laughing on the phone at me, just baffled. If it wasn’t for the wonderful girl at the counter who was able to get us on the boat, my anniversary would’ve been ruined. DO NOT BOOK THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE, the site itself books through third-party (OpenTable) and yet when on the phone with their disrespectful reps I try to explain the site automatically took me there and it wasn’t in my control, I am at fault!?’ This is not how good customer service works, and honestly if it wasn’t for the wonderful attendant the night would’ve been completely botched. Odyssey get your $#!@ together, maybe an IT can fix the website but cannot fix your customer service!! NEVER AGAIN and would never recommend to anyone! Besides the view, the food was mediocre (not worth the $$) expected a five star meal with that kind of buck spent, the DJ was the only good thing of the entire experience.

    We made a reservation through Opentable for our 10th wedding anniversary on Saturday September 14th. We were required to place a credit card for the reservation and received a confirmation email of our reservation, and confirmed our reservation the day before via email. Assumed based on those pieces of information that we had a reservation. Arrive at check-in to get our tickets and we were informed by Odyssey that we did not have a reservation despite showing them proof of our reservation. They told us it was an issue with Opentable. Got on the phone with Opentable and they told us it was an issue with Odyssey. Finger pointing on both sides but either way we were not able to get on the boat because Odyssey could not accommodate us on our Tenth Wedding Anniversary. Tried making other reservations on Opentable but was not able to make a reservation because Opentable said were having dinner on Odyssey Cruises. After dealing with Opentable the only consolation they could give us was to award us 1000 points on my account. Wow. Thanks.... Obviously frustrating experience and a complete disappointment/disaster. Will not be recommending Odyssey to anyone and think Resy is probably a better option to Opentable for making reservations going forward.
