It was great learning...

It was great learning about the history and future of Nashville. The crew was very nice and professional. The only sour note was the bar running out of bottled water. With all the news coverage about the excessive heat this week, running out of bottled water is inexcusable.

We enjoyed it very much...

We enjoyed it very much even though it was very hot. Anybody who thinks about going on it should go just be aware that it’s going to be hot. It was very nice on the river.

Worst cruise ever

Boring! Rated the worst, most boring cruise I’ve ever taken! The only thing in sight was trees, grass, and of course water. Definitely not worth the price. Would not recommend! But staff was pleasant

Avoid the watered down drinks!!

Overall it was a nice experience. The crew was very friendly and the music was beautiful. However we did pay a lot for essentially a cup of water and ice that was supposed to be a drink.

Don’t waste your money

This trip is awful, there is nothing to see other than concrete works and petroleum. The journey stunk of sewage. Don’t waste your money and if you do get there early or you won’t get a seat. The staff and boat are nice, but this is the only positive.

Fab boat ride

Lovely boat ride on the river Cumberland. Such a great way to spend a couple of hours. The narration was good and the singer was fabulous. I remember him from American Idol so top notch. Highly recommended.

Waste of Money

No prompt help for those with mobility issues which delayed our place in line, which made for later boarding and fewer seat choices, which led to sitting in the enclosed dining room, which made it impossible to hear the announcer’s narrative about what the ship was passing or the history of the river because people talked too loud.. No one heard the emergency instructions ahead of departure. And the ship’s staff never suggested that people be quiet or remind them to listen. The staff happily sold drinks and let the mayhem continue.
