Love it because there is no alcohol served aboard the boat. A little expensive for the tickets, entertainment was great and the food was delicious.

Show performance: Jazz band, dead and unlively is a poor fit for the majority of Branson visitors (my opinion). The singing group's audio control was so bad their vocals were mostly unitelligible, it was impossible to determine if they were good or bad. The musical instrument player/acrobat and the magician/comedian was excellent.This 5/18 or 19/2012 cruise was overall well worth... More

Dinner was OK, we were located in the private dining in the paddle room. Was very nice and quiet and romantic back there. Dinner was OK, we both had steaks and the were a bit over cooked and the tea well was instant. Deseret was awesome, we had the Camel Cheesecake and Pecan pie! Show was really pretty good, the...

I am not a big fan of most of the shows in Branson, but the dinner show on the Showboat Branson Belle is Very Good. The violinist is a professional and enjoyable. The dinner, in the Paddle Wheel room, was good. FYI, the Paddle Wheel room is small and the floor slants - makes it interesting. Also, many places in... More

Upgrade to the private dining room for a real treat. You get to order from a menu, the food is outstanding, service is wonderful and the dining room is small and private with a good view. Recommend you order, but tell the waitress to delay your order for 20 to 30 minutes while you tour the ship. Most are in... More

We really enjoyed our dinner / show on the Branson Belle. The MC was awesome! So funny. The male group that sang was outstanding and the female violinist was very talented. Definitely a good time. Tip: get the seats where you face the stage one level up. Food was very good but really could have had bigger portions.

We dined in the Paddle Room with a couple from Australia. The food was delicious and the show was incredible! I would recommend this activity to anyone visiting Branson.

The hype for the Belle would lead one to believe it to be a really fantastic evening. Not so, in my opinion. The dinners are mass produced, albeit filling and tasty enough. The show part is a little bit below average. The showboat part is disappointing because the only time you can tell you are on a showboat on the... More
