The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. I was very impressed with the musicians and I would encourage everyone to listen to the band play before the boat takes off! The night was very fun and entertaining!

Mothers Day Weekend and we decided to try the Riverboat. Crew was friendly and knowledgeable. Dinner is now a small buffet. I would call average, but ok. Entertainment was loud and all of the singers were trying to out do one another just like they were auditioning for a talent scout. One song after another for over an hour. No comic relief, no interaction with audience. Disappointing. Don't expect a Vegas show because you are far from it. Would had a better time sitting outside watching the river. Glad the show was over so we could leave. Our waiter "Jonah" kept pushing for tips over and over again. He's about to leave and wont be back?? Over and Over again. Need anything? We all will leave before show and wont be back. You refilled my Tea glass after I had asking twice...now you want a tip? Come on....You are paying for a Riverboat ride, dont expect a lot more than that. By the way, can you hire someone that has all of their teeth to sell you pictures and smile at you?

Atmosphere was great. Altough the dinner chicken and beef was a tad bit dry. For $159 would had been nice to throw in a couple of complmentary cocktails/beer.

Entertainment was good. Food was good. Boat was nice. But because the water level was too high we could not go under the bridge to go downtown. That was disappointing. Had they told us at would of cancelled. We paid alot to cruise in circles. Would of rather did something else

James_D

The entertainment was great, lunch was very good. We were a little disappointed that we couldn’t actually go cruising the river but you can’t change Mother Nature. Would do it again if we are ever back and recommend this to everyone.

Our waiter Sammy was very good. Food was very good as well. Comedy/singing act was a bit lame- not very funny at all. Legends show was great. The singers did a fabulous job with presenting the legends throughout the years.
