Best use of our travel money. A very tasty lunch, great variety show, and time to visit Capt. Bob and tour the ship. Don;'t miss this attraction. There is a shopping opportunity too!

Tip: The entree at lunch was chicken and pot roast, and they were very good, but they were served on the same plate. My husband does not eat pot roast, so we had to scrape it off the plate.

"Soft drinks???"
September, 2018 NEW
Soft drinks should be included in the ticket price as is tea and water. You should not be FORCED into a $12.00 soda if you do not want water or tea. Doesn't matter if the purchase mentions only water and tea included .. no way you should be forced to buy a $12.00 soft drink in any situation.
Read More
Tip: If you are not drinking tea or water, your choice is $12 dollar soft drink or nothing.

"great time on the Branson Belle"
September, 2018
We have never visited Branson in our 41 years of marriage.. So we decided to travel a few days. Had reservations for Branson Belle on Sunday after arrival in Big Cedar Lodge. We had no issues arriving, plenty of signs leading the way and the grounds were beautiful . After finding our seats the waitress immediately offered us water, etc and told us what was the itenery. The music during the meal, the meal and the show were all great! This was very relaxing and we would definitely recommend it to friends and family! Everyone was pleasant and smiling! Great start to our week vacation.

"Good Entertainment but food so-so"
TripAdvisor user rating 4 out of 5
Reviewed October 18, 2018 NEW
Had to wait outside in the sun to board and boarding took forever. It is a long walk from the boarding area to where you actually get seated for dinner. We were in the very last row, but could still see the show well. Our waiter was bored with being there and not very friendly. The food was just OK, nothing to write home about, for sure. I ordered water but the ice was NASTY tasting. So, I ordered the water without ice but it was warm, yukky. The people around us were fun and added to the enjoyment. The show was great. The emcee who was also a magician was funny and entertaining. The singers and musicians were very good. Don't take this boat tour to see the landscape, they give you about 15 minutes to go out on the decks and you see a few sights on a very small portion of the lake.

Would not recommend this during October to December - Nothing but groups on buses and u take a back seat to them - seats were terrible and u felt rushed and when u got there had to wait for the groups to board - seats were terrible and waitress didn’t help u find your seats - - Fed u rather quickly - the person in charge last night could care less, if u would rather have a coke, u have to purchase a $13 solvenire cup with unlimited refills what a crock - couldn’t wait to get off boat - didn’t care about seeing show - would not go back -

Professional performers and a very funny MC. They food was very good. Although the weather was cold we could still enjoy the view through the large windows on each deck. All seats provide a good view of the stage. An entertaining afternoon.
