Customer Reviews
We enjoyed the ride and the food. We did the outside on deck buffet. It was a beautiful night for a river cruise.

-Gearldean Kinsel, Rochester, IL
Table guests were friendly, food was absolutely delicious plus we had plenty of it. The entertainment was out of sight. This is our second time on the General, and will most likely not be the last. A fun-filled evening of food and entertainment all at the same place.

-Roosevelt Samuels, Mobile , AL
The boat and river were great! But there was no coommentary about the river or boat or city or anything for two and one-half hours. If you didn't pay to watch the acrobats and eat inside, then all you did was watch the river bank go by.

-Ronnie Behrens, Kerrville, TX
