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

I was hesitant to book the General Jackson because of the price and wasn't sure if it was going to be cheesy. :-) We're not into dinner shows so we chose the summer outer deck/buffet "party cruise". We're in our late twenties so we still like to party a little bit. We had a great time. It was a much... more

We were in Nashville the first weekend in June and before leaving UK, booked an outer deck lunchtime buffet cruise aboard the General Jackson. It was easy to reserve our tickets over the internet with Ticketmaster and then collect them on arrival at the box office, no problems at all. We thought at first that there was going to be... more

We chose the package sans-meal or show, just basically a three hour boat ride. I was dubious, but it turned out to be an incredible time. A gorgrous, slow ride down the river as late afternoon turns into dusk, then dark. Spectacular views of downtown, and plenty of picture taking opportunity. Nice, chatty bartenders (one gal who was planning a... more

We did the 11:30 a.m. cruise with the buffet and entertainment by Tim Watson. The show was absolutely wonderful and so entertaining. I smiled and/or laughed from beginning to end. This is definitely a must if you come to Nashville. Hint: If you purchase tickets over the Internet, when you arrive, make sure you go to the box/ticket office to... more
