Meal was excellent! Had prime rib, chicken mashed potatoes and carrots. All you can eat. Staff was great. One recommendation would be to take an earlier dinner trip since it was dark for a majority of the trip. Not as much to see. Price was reasonable. We did not get to go into the lock 7 location due to other shipping getting lock priority. But saw the dam and it was a fun trip.

Annie gave us the sightseeing tour and did a great job. We learned local history, saw lots of river wildlife, and learned about river management and geography. Great experience!

We just did the pizza and beer lunch cruise. Had a wonderful time and the narration was great. Recommend this event if you are in the area.

Went on a pizza and beer cruise with a group of coworkers. We had a great time. The boat trip was amazing. The staff were friendly, professional, and helpful. Spectacular views of the boat and the river shoreline. Would definitely recommend this tour if you don’t have a lot of time as it is only an hour and half. If you have more time look at some of the other cruise options.

This was a nice dinner cruise on the Mississippi River. It rained but the food was good. Grilled shrimp. Roasted chicken, flavored mashed potatoes, cooked carrots and carrot cake for dessert. Everyone we dined with was friendly as was the staff on the boat.
