Belle of Louisville Riverboats

"My kids took me on a cruise with a bell of Louisville for my birthday! Originally it was a daytime Cruise which was canceled, I was very disappointed because I looked forward to seeing the fall leaves from the boat. But we took the evening cruise and it was beautiful. It lasts 2 hours, and was just beautiful because you can see all of the lights on the shore, and the view of Louisville was beautiful. The bathrooms are plentiful and very very nice, and you're able to get something to drink and popcorn that sort of thing. I would highly recommend taking this Cruise again and again!"

"What a nice evening. Beautiful 100 yr. old paddle boat took us on a 2 hr. trip on the Ohio River. The crew was very nice. It was Throwback Thursday, so the music was old school, and the dance floor was hoppin'. We sat top deck for a while and took in all the sites along the river with the breeze in our face. We walked to the lower deck to see all the machinery that moves her along. Music, concessions, bar, and clean rest rooms. It's great fun at a very reasonable price. If you're visiting Louisville it's something you need to do."

"We did a company dinner cruise and everyone had a great time. The scenery was beautiful and everyone was taking pictures. The captain and the crew were very friendly and took good care of us."

"The Coolest Thing In Louisville I don't know why I waited so long to do this. We took the Sunset Cruise on the Belle, the oldest authentic steamboat in north America. Beautiful sunset behind us and spectacular skyline of Louisville lit up on the trip back. The crew are all friendly and professional and getting snacks and drinks was easy even on a fully booked trip. I recommend arriving an hour before your cruise so you can find parking. Stop for a restroom break before you get there and take a walk along the riverfront to see the sights before boarding. There are restrooms on board the Belle. If you've wanted to do this and put it off for any reason, just stop. You have to take this trip!"

"The ship and cruise was cool, the dinner mediocre, the service was lacking. Not worth the $300+ I paid in my opinion for myself and my 2 daughters. It was my foster daughter's 21st birthday, so I paid extra for window seats and the birthday package, which was for balloons, free dessert, coupon for the gift shop, a photo, and an announcement. Well, we got there early and had a seat like they told us to wait to board. They didn't tell us a line would form and by the time we noticed the line was clear out to the parking lot so getting there early meant we got to board dead last because we couldn't even get out the door to get in line when we were there before everyone else! The photographer was already gone, and most of the food by the time we got seated. They never brought out more so we got whatever scraps were left on the buffet. Took forever to get a waitress to get a drink, I had to repeatedly ask for all the extra stuff I paid extra for for her birthday, didn't get a photo till almost near the end because they had to go find the photographer. I had to ask several times to get her dessert, and they never did her announcement at all. The food was ok, the dessert for us was terrible so I paid over $100 a ticket for a scoop of mashed potatoes and some beef, that is all each of us got. There was supposed to be gluten free options but that was all I could eat. The drinks were an additional charge, $4 sodas with no refills and the one alcohol drink I bought her was $20. Next time we will eat somewhere else and just take the sightseeing cruse for less money! The Cincinnati Belle was a cool replica and the evening cruise was beautiful. When we got back to the dock we got to watch fireworks from across the river on her deck before we disembarked. It was a milestone birthday she will remember."
