Date & Time: Saturday, July 4; 8:00 PM Crowd Factor: SOLD OUT (720 attendees)—providing high energy in the audience. Entertainment: “Great Show”—went “way” beyond our expectations. We arrived at 7:15 PM, and left the dock at 8:00. We ate while the live band played. The food was excellent and we heard other compliments as well. At 9:00, they let us... more

After reading some of the previous reviews here, I was pleasantly surprised that I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. True, the food was pretty much average, but we enjoyed the variety: a decent meal, a boat ride, dixieland music before dinner, dance music during, a very pleasant and talented quartet/quintet of dancers/singers and a unique and humerous comedian. Some thought it... more

We went to the Branson Belle on May 19th, 2009, it was a really great experience we really enjoyed the shows, especially the talking dogs. The food wasn't great, very average, but wasn't terrible either, My only suggestion, use real tea, not instant, tea was bad. There was smoking on the outside deck which wasn't good for non-smokers, because you... more

Our kids really enjoyed the talking dogs performance. We had some issues with seating, our seats were obstructed although we were not told so when we purchased. We were given other seats on the upper level when we complained. There was another family who experienced a similar situation and was asked to split up. The food was good, service was... more

My wife booked our tickets before checking TripAdvisor. I was worried after reading some of the other reviews. However, we had a pleasant trip on the Branson Belle. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was nothing to write home about but it was alright. The food the VIP ticketholders received looked good but I'm not sure it'd be... more

Food on the Branson Belle is passable but not outstanding. It reminded me of what you'd find at a high school awards banquet. The ventriloquist was entertaining but the entertainment on the whole was no better than what Silver Dollar City, the boat's owner, puts on on an everyday basis. We enjoyed the total experience of being on a showboat... more

Just returned from a 4 day trip to Branson. We are regulars and go to Branson 6-8 times per year as we live less than 3 hours away. This year my 11 year old son wanted to try the Showboat Branson Belle in the evening. As we never have been on the boat we decided to give it a try.... more

Quite the ship for an inland lake. The food is average, salad/roast beef/chicken/rice/bread/cake. That's right, roast beef and chicken on the same plate. Food service is very efficient with delivering your food considering how much they have to prepare. But, I had water to drink and the waitress did not act quickly on the refill. The M.C. (Christopher James) was... more

We had a family get together in Branson 6/15/08-6/22/08 and this was an activity for us on a Tuesday afternoon. The weather cooperated and we had a fun cruise on Table Rock Lake. The staff was friendly and helpful. There were 16 of us ranging in age from 9-82. We were all entertained, laughed uncontrollably at times, and had good... more
