We have never taken the time to take the General Jackson Paddle Wheel boat trip until our last visit on 10/3/2009. We purchased tickets for the lunch cruise online and when we got to the ticket window we also purchased the wheel house tour (only sold at the tkt. window) which took place just before sailing. The wheel house tour... more

We went on the Party Cruise Showboat - which was fun, but there are so many other fun things to do on Nashville at night. The DJ played good tunes, definitely songs you want to dance to. Drinks are overpriced and watered down, and the food was pretty bad. But this is coming from a food/booze snob, so take it... more

We recently took our kids on this afternoon luncheon cruise. It's not very long, and trip is smooth. My daughter leans towards motion sickness and she was just fine. The food was pretty good, especially the potato salad (not gourmet or diet, but hey, who's thinking it would be?). Kid's meals are available upon request. The kids enjoyed watching the... more

We very much enjoyed the General Jackson. Paid a small additional fee for a personal tour by the Captain of the wheel house. Many interesting facts. The dinner was excellent and the Musical entertainment top notch. more

Tim Watson and his band are awesome, Very talented musicians, and he is a very fun, and sincere person. His show was a lot of fun. One of the "things you must do" when visiting Nashville. The Conkle's, Coshocton, Ohio more

We took our boys, ages 7 and 11, on the General Jackson lunch cruise to see the Peking Acrobats. It was hot as blazes, so we didn't spend a lot of time on the outer decks. We did enjoy listening to the band for a little while. The boys got cokes from the bar and they got free refills. No... more

My wife and I took the evening dinner cruise including the Nashvegas Show to celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary on 08/16/08 and had a blast! Our table mates included another couple celebrating their wedding anniversary and a group of retired Australians that had us rolling in laughter all night! It was great, unexpected company! The dinner was excellent and served... more

We had a really good time on the General Jackson, probably better than expected. We would recommend it as a fun/relaxing attraction if you have time to do it. They take your picture when you get in line. They will give them to you to look at and purchase for $25 later when on the boat. The boat is big,... more

Our experience was mediocre at best. We booked the General Jackson, but ended up on the Music City Queen. The table settings were very nice when we walked in, but the food was also mediocre and at around $100 per person you would expect more. For that price one would expect a glass of wine or cocktail to be included... more

My boyfriend and I went on the General Jackson this evening and thought it was a hoot. We have lived in Nashville for about 4 years and have done many of the tourist attractions, but never this one. It was a hoot. We did not have dinner or the show, so I can't comment on either of those except to... more
