Traveler reviews
No air conditioning!!
There was no air conditioning on the boat. No explanation was given as to why it was so HOT! The food was good and the entertainment was good but you could not enjoy it because you were constantly wiping sweat.
We had a wonderful time...
We had a wonderful time on the dinner cruise. Food was delicious. The show was excellent - such talented performers/singers. Seeing the downtown Nashville skyline all lit up was beautiful. I highly recommend doing this if you are looking for a different/fun experience with a dinner and a show.
Quality entertainment. Okay food. Poor air conditioning.
Great show experience. Better quality music than expected. Food was decent. Buffet style, chicken, mac and cheese, carrots, and reasonably good pulled pork. Beautiful hot day outside. Air conditioners inside couldn't keep up. They had fans everywhere but it was too warm. Included transportation from hotel was a nice bonus.
The food was just...
The food was just average- watery mashed potatoes! Air conditioner broke and it was too hot. The stage show was great!!
Disappointed in Nashville
No air-conditioning on a 100+ day, they didnt notify us pre arrival. And, apparently there was a second area to dine- this was not an option in the booking- that's a let down. There should be an uncharge selection. Basically booking on here puts you in the belly of the ship. Lastly, two 'double' cocktails cost us 62.00. Cheapest drinks are the ones they give you in the commemorative cup- still 24.00.... but you can keep the cup.
