Silver Dollar City's Showboat is the most entertaining way to spend time on the lake, and it’s an adventure that comes with an exciting variety show filled with music, comedy, dancing, magic, a great meal, and more!
Pick a date to see available showtimes. Green dates have good availability, amber dates are filling up fast, and grey dates are sold out.
The meal was good, however the chicken was a bit overcooked so it was dry but the salad, roll, beef, green beans and dessert were really tasty. The servers were great and attentive to refilling our glasses. The part I was disappointed in was the entertainment. I was hoping for some good old fashioned Branson bluegrass but instead got dancing and very loud music. The magician was pretty good but I don’t think I will ever do the cruise again.
The lake cruise was nice and beautiful scenery. The magician/comedian was very funny and entertaining. The food was good, and the staff was great, very friendly. However, the music was not very good. A few good entertainers, but all around, was so loud you didn't know what they were singing most of the time. We watched the last 40 minutes sitting at the dock so didn't even have a very long cruise. Very disappointing for the most part.
My family and I throughly enjoyed ourselves. The views were gorgeous. The food was good and the entertainment was fantastic! Would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun evening with their family.
What a fantastic time we had! The food was delicious and the show OUTSTANDING!
Me and my Wife had Great Time food was outstanding the shows were Wonderful we will be back
It was the best live show we have seen in many years. The food, the staff, the show itself was outstanding! Would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality experience!
We were greeted coming of the gangplank, by the captain. The girls told us to go forward and there would be someone in the lobby. There was, she checked our tickets and told is which direction to go. Upon interring the dinning room there were many servers that you could as for seating advice but later there was a Maitre d to seat people. The Branson Bell Show was fantastic. Singing, dancing, and a lot of comedy! During the break we went out on the deck, it was so beautiful. We really enjoyed our trip and will do it again this summer.
My husband and I went to the 4pm show on Oct. 3/17 not really knowing what to expect. We had heard mixed reviews but decided this would be dinner, show and cruise all in one. We ordered our tickets online and chose the upgraded Captains Table. The whole experience was top notch and very professional. The service was excellent and the steak meal we ordered was cooked to perfection. The preshow and the main show were exceptional with lots of talented performers.
We wound up with front row seats and enjoyed close up entertainment. The waiters & staff were very friendly. The food was very good and the service was quick. The performers were very talented and seemed to really enjoy what they do. When our waiter found out it was my birthday, he brought me a special dessert that made me feel special.
My wife and I took the Sunday luncheon cruise, Gospel On The Lake, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was good and our waitress very attentive. The entertainment was good and we loved the casual intermission and mingling with everyone. The music was not loud, and pipped outside so we could enjoy it either way. We got some sun and it was a great first day in Branson.
Boat ride and food was great. Show was extremely loud and underwhelming. The trip on the lake was picturesque. Very friendly staff was quite helpful. The show isn't really aimed at the audience in attendance. It is modern country. So loud one couldn't understand the words.
Boarding went very smoothly especially with the sold out crowd., plenty of parking at the site, nice walk to the site. The personel from beginning to end were courteous & attentitive, The dinner was hot & served promptly, as well as tasty. The entertainment was fun fast & diverse. All in all it was our best experience we had while in Branson
The entire experience was awesome. The emcee and all the performers were first class with and outstanding band that played during dinner. We attended the 4:00pm show which allowed ample time to have dinner, walk around on the upper deck and 3rd level outside. Food was excellent and just the right amount. Be careful not to lose your after dinner coffee....they give a last call for coffee and if you leave your seat for a moment, it will be gone. Our server, Crystal, started out fantastic until we asked where our coffee went. She was adamant it was last call and took offense to us asking for it back. She pushed our cups/saucers at us in a manner that caused my wife's to spill. Sorry for the inconvenience we caused you! Our specific server aside, this is a MUST SEE. Also worth the upgrade to Lieutenant's seating.
For us this experience was excellent in every way. The weather was beautiful. The MC was terrific in general but also with his clean humor and 'magic.' The singing and dancing was well done. The food was simple enough but really fantastic (we enjoyed quality food and don't need an excess of amount or variety). We have heartily recommended this sow to others.
We took the afternoon cruise and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was good, the waiter was attentive and the entertainment was top notch!! I sang along with the music and seat danced the whole time. The singers and dancers were the best I have ever seen anywhere - very professional and VERY good!!
My husband and I took the noon luncheon cruise, Country On The Lake, for his birthday and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was good and our waitress very attentive. The entertainment was very good and we loved the casual intermission and mingling with everyone.
We had a great time enjoying all the great entertainment. The music was terrific. The cloggers were amazing. The food was delicious. We laughed and sang and danced the whole time during the show. The sunset view was beautiful. The host was hilarious and talented in several areas.
This is the second time in Branson and the second time on this cruise as the only change we did s we were on the dinner sailing. It is a truly great experience from the fantastic meal to the on board show. Did I say the scenic view is a bonus! I would recommend the captains table which gives you more room and service for a small upgrade fee. You will not be disappointed!!
Show was ok, but food was some of the worst we have ever eaten and this was supposed to be the 'best' menu. The ribeye steak was all bone, fat, without any actual meat. We brought it home and even our cats wouldn't eat it. We told the wait staff and nobody tried to replace it with anything else, etc so we had to eat elsewhere after getting off the cruise. It was a too bad, too sad attitude. I would not recommend it.
We had an awesome time on the Showboat Branson Belle. The entertainment was great and the meal was fantastic! We were able to cruise around on the lake even though the weather was rainy and misty. We really enjoyed the magic, comedy, singers and dancers. We would do this cruise again!
We had a group of 6 adults for our daughters 18th Birthday on 12-30-16 and enjoyed the show a lot. The cloggers were by far the best!! Only disappointing thing was we paid for a dinner cruise and because of weather the captain did not take the boat out of dock at all and we felt very disappointed when it was suppose to be a dinner cruise. We understand weather and safety is an issue but also felt they could of compensated us somehow to make our expensive experience a better one for the Birthday girl. Over all food and entertainment was enjoyable!!
We went on the lunch cruise and the entire trip was wonderful, including the weather. Great day, despite my girlfriend having a slight accident while on the boat. Nothing serious though. She was anxious to take this showboat cruise and I'm glad that it did not disappoint her.
Awesome show and meal. Entertainment was amazing. Loved the comedy act kept me laughing all through the show along with the manic show.The ShowMen had great harmony. Rythym could really keep you entertained. Cassandra had a beautiful voice she can really sing. I recommend this to everyone.
The entertainment: comedy-magic show, dancers, singers and a great female soloist were excellent. Food was average but the service was good.
There were 8 in our group and we all loved the entertainment provided by the very talented musicians and cloggers. There was a variety of styles of music which made it even better. The meal was very good and our waitress was wonderful and friendly. Loved the emcee! Had us rolling with laughter! Nothing we didn't like!
Adult meal was good, child's meal was very disappointing, kids wouldn't even eat it. Band and cloggers were great, but singers were tone deaf and annoying. I won't be back.
Over the past 40 years I have been to Branson 7 times and the Showboat Branson Belle 3 times. We are planning on going back in June and the Belle is on the agenda. Basically you are going to have a good meal along with 3 shows of some kind. Weather it be jugglers, comics, a dog act, singing, acrobats, etc. There is also time to take in the beauty of the lake up close.
My friend and I visited Branson last Nov. and enjoyed the dinner show. It was fantastic. We hope to see it again this November.
The Branson Belle dinner cruise was the last show we saw while in Branson last week (May 10, 2013) and what a show it was. I wouldn't hesitate to go back again and enjoy the meal and the entertainers. Christopher James definitely started off with a bang. Then when Janice Martin and The Showmen came on, I couldn't believe how absolutely great they all were. They were all 5 Star!!! You can't go wrong with the 4 p.m. show. Fantastic.
