"Both the meal and show were great!"
April, 2018 NEW
We have been to riverboat shows the past and often the meals are buffet style and pretty ordinary. Not here! The food and service were excellent. I couldn't eat everything on my plate because I was full! It was easy to make new friends at the dinner tables as well. The show was entertaining and we would recommend this as a place to go to for entertainment and food. Easy to get to as well.

Really good time watching the show. Awesome entertainment. Everything seemed very clean and the ship was beautiful. The food was really not very good at all. I did not eat anything but the salad. I expected a Better meal for the price we paid per ticket. There were four of us in our group. Overall experience was awesome because of the marvelous entertainment.

"Excellent Time!"
March, 2018
This was a cool paddle boat and great show. The host was funny and talented. The performers were excellent! We enjoyed the food and show. My husband was brought up on stage to help with an act. It was cute. The only negative was that only water, coffee, or tea was served with dinner. You have to pay for a $12 cup to get a soda. That was disappointing.

"Disappointing"
TripAdvisor user rating 1 out of 5
Reviewed April 19, 2018 NEW
Did not sail, remained at dock because the crew did not have the skillset to handle the boat in a breeze (other boats were on the lake). Food was mediocre at best, the dinner rolls were hard and cold like right out of a box. The show was filled with commercials for books, dvds, and autograph opportunities. Our meal was interrupted by people trying to sell us things ($40 photo, souvenir mugs). Entertainment was second tier quality, the lead was a singer who made it to the semi finals of American Idol.
