This might quite literally be the west place ever. i’d give it one star if i could. i was targeted by security the entire night, for no reason. Staff is biased, and so so terribly rude. A bartender called me sloppy, I was harassed by the staff, and literally followed around the entire night. This is the worst place ever, I would not recommend unless you want a terrible experience.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

how far in advance should we book for a weekday lunch cruise and is it refundable

Linda Sears | Sep 20, 2022
BB Riverboats | Sep 20, 2022

We recommend making a reservation as soon as you know you are interested in a particular day. Our cruises do tend to sell out. Tickets are non refundable unless you purchase ticket assurance. Ticket Assurance is 10% of your pre tax ticket price and must be purchased when making the reservation. It allows a full refund of your ticket price (minus the cost of assurance) if something was come up and you were unable to make the cruise.

Whats the latest can arrive to eat..

Patrece Burton | Oct 5, 2018
Cruise Cycle | Oct 5, 2018

Restaurant is on board so you need to arrive at the appropriate depature time to board the boat. You haven't specified time of day or date, or event, so you need to call them and ask about your specific request. You also need to allow for time to park, get a ticket if necessary and get on board. Sounds like a lot of messing about but it will be worth it. There is no other or better way to see the cities and sites while having an enjoyable meal in a unique venue.
