Customer Reviews
We went on the evening dinner cruise on July 3,2008. It was great! The dinner was wonderful, the show was terrific, I highly recommend the General Jackson cruise. We saw the Nash Vegas show, and it was great! Tina Turner was excellent and very entertaining. Next time, I would like to take the outer deck cruise to enjoy the night air more, as we were inside for most of the cruise.

-Miranda , Deshler, OH
I only got the cruise part and not the show...however, next time I think I will do the cruise and the lunch...no show - because the show is inside and you don't get to see the beautiful lake and the scenery if you are inside on the boat watching the show...very relaxing!

-Stacy Myers, Columbus, OH
When we first arrived on the boat the service was very slow. Once we moved inside for lunch and the show it was very nice. Great show!
