"This was an amazing event to go to"
This was an amazing event to go to. The food was delicious and the show was absolutely out of this world. I definitely suggest sitting through the entire show before roaming the boat since you have plenty of time after the show's done. The singers are very polite and let you take pictures with them at the end and then they have an amazing second show up on the top of the boat afterwards that is comical and fun. Definitely recommend doing this.

"The show was fabulous."
The show was fabulous. The service was amazing. And the food was ok. Not sure what i was expecting, but i didn't’t leave hungry. It was a bit crowded in the dining room so my advice is to go to the restroom and get your drinks before you get seated. The servers will get your drinks for you if you’d like. The stage was small but the cast used it well. Not boring at all.
Tip: Enjoy!!!

"Would recommend this experience to all and hope that it will become your family tradition."
The general jackson cruise at christmas has been a family tradition for the last several years. We are hoping to be there again this year. I love to see the glow on my daughter's face when we board the boat. We have never left the boat without the christmas love and full bellies from the show. The food is always wonderful and my two grandsons are always ready to eat. Would recommend this experience to all and hope that it will become your family tradition.

"This was the best by far."
This was the best by far. We were seated at table #2 which was right by the corner of the stage. We got to see the entire show without anyone being in front of us and it was great. The entertainment was great and the dinner was fantastic. This was a special trip for my nephew who has been in a wheel chair since birth. He is now 42 years old and this was his first visit to tennessee. I wanted to do something special for him while we were there since his parents gave him the trip as a christmas present. I could not have asked for a better time nor could he. It was a surprise up until 10 minutes before we pulled into the parking lot. He had no clue what we were doing. So from the mongeau and labare family, thank you for making that day special for him.

It was a great show!!!!! The food left a little to be desired! But it was okay. Would have been better if it was a little bit more of it and maybe green beans instead of carrots. But that is just what i like! But the christmas show was fabulous!! We just loved it!! Great singers and dancers. A great host. It was just great all the way around!!

General jackson showboat dinner cruise
the show was very good as well as the time allowed to go outside and view the city lights. The food offered was decent but was an extremely small portion (the piece of meat was 2 x 1) and no substitutions were made for people who couldn't eat meat or seafood. I booked for a group of 7 and a few wanted either all beef or all shrimp and were told no unless we wanted to add more of one for an additional charge. This was an expensive booking so i would expect better with the food service. We were also told by our waiter that he would not be taking drink orders because he was too busy getting our food although we saw every other waiter serving drinks to other tables. He was very prompt to come to the table and demand a tip at the end of the meal though.

" Over all, we had fun."
Over all, we had fun. The meal should have a steak option or a seafood option. The steak option should be a real piece of meat. The one served was tiny and poor quality. The shrimp and desert were good. The service table side was excellent. The main dining room was very cold and uncomfortable to be in. 68-70 would have been better rather than low 60's. We had to get up and go outside to warm up. The show was well done.

You board the boat and are greeted by a friendly crew and a country band. Then you head to the main hall for your assigned seat and a meal that is out of this world. After dinner, the curtain goes down on one of the best music productions in nashville.

My wife and i had not ridden the gen jackson in more than 20 years. We thought we might enjoy another ride and check out the changes in the river shore and the city. But we had moderate expectations -- edible but mass-produced food served buffet style and a stage show that was likely to be cheesy and full of pseudo-patriotism adapted to a particularly cynical view of nashville tourists. We were pleasantly surprised. The food, though still mass-produced, was excellent and the show was outstanding with very talented musicians. Costumes, lighting, and choreography were all excellent, the singers had strong voices, and the fiddle and guitar players were extraordinary. The selection of songs (though somewhat abbreviated) were a pleasing salute to some of nashville's great songwriters. The people at our table were also friendly and pleasant lunch companions. We highly recommend the general jackson for an enjoyable steamboat ride with good food and great music.

On may 8, 2021 we had a great trip on the dinner cruise.
The entertainment, food and voyage was great! We thoroughly enjoyed our time.
We were equally impressed with two employees while waiting to be picked up after the trip. (danny and an elderly gentleman). I did'nt get his name but he was medium height with pretty blue eyes. They were con-
cerned about us being by ourselves & waiting so long to be picked up from lift. So, danny drove up in his car and gave us a ride to our hotel which was in downtown nashville!
We offered to pay danny for his time and gas but he absolutely refused. These two employees went well above the call of duty to assist us and ensure we were safe. You're very lucky to have such wonderful employees.

Nice big boat, live entertainment. The boat travels into nashville then back to the dock. Dinner was fair, pot roast, shrimp and cheesy grits, salad. Dessert was an interesting poppyseed cake with strawberry filling on the bottom. The show was interesting, pretty good actually, like a cruise ship. Overall a pleasant evening. Felt pressured to tip the waiter.

Outstanding entertainment. We were not aware that we could board 45 minutes before sailing time. We didn’t have enough time to see the boat and sights between dinner and entertainment. We would have liked to have seen more of the sights while moving towards downtown nashville. Otherwise we would recommend this event to others.

Me and my husband enjoyed the show and the atmosphere. The show crew was really good with their sets. My complaint is the food, the chicken was very bland, unseasoned and the skin was slimmy. The dressing tasted out of a box and the sauce threw the whole dish completely off. The bread was cold and not too soft, the dessert was good.

Cruise was ok, we were diverted and did not get the usual city scenery because of a river event. This should have been mentioned when i booked and i may have changed my date. The route we took was really nothing special and not much to look at except the homes of people who live on the river.
We found the boat to be in good condition and well taken care of. The dining hall was nice. Well decorated and was a good venue for the show. We were seated about 3/4 of the way back from the stage but this did not hamper the experience.
All of the staff we encountered where very helpful, funny, entertaining, etc. Our waiter was efficient, pleasant and helpful without being overbearing. He got us what we wanted and left us alone. The waiter at the table behind us was annoying. He kept talking and pestering the people at their table, during the entire show. He wasn’t even our waiter and he annoyed us to no end. He practically never shut up during the entire performance. When i pay $80.00 for a show i don’t want anyone talking during it, especially a waiter.
The food was just ok. Not bad but nothing special. Sort of what i expected. There was plenty of it and the buffet lines were set up well and moved along.
The entertainment was excellent. Certainly not of a broadway play caliber but very good. It moved right along. There were plenty of jokes, it was family friendly and very entertaining. The quality of the performers was very good. They’re were some nice staged and well performed numbers. The talent performed very well too. Singers were very good and fiddle players were excellent.
It wasn’t just people standing on a stage and singing country music.
All in all i would recommend the cruise but would caution people to make sure which direction the boat was going on the day they want to cruise. Having family in the area and a likelihood that i will return to nashville, i would probably try the night cruise this time.
Tip: Make sure you know which direction you are going to cruise on the day you have selected.
