Boring, boring, boringI had been looking forward to a trip on the Great Mississippi, so we booked our 2 hour trip on arrival at Memphis. I was hoping to see some of the river and travel a few miles on it, after all, 2 hours is a long time. Not so; The boat left its dock and proceeded to chug at 1 mph whilst someone gave a monotone over the speaker system about history ...2 of 5 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEW

It was ok.The trip was ok. We took our parents for their 43rd anniversary. We ordered a cake and balloons from them that was a nice touch. Food was ok. It was very cramped on the boat. Too many tables squezed together. Very warm on the boat, the little ac they had did not work very well. But it was an ok trip would I take it again probably not.1 of 3 Yahoo!

wonderful time!My husband and I had a wonderful time on the dinner cruise! Everyone was very nice and everything seemed organized and well planned. The view was beautiful at night, and the band had everyone dancing. The dinner was better than expected and enough to get full on. The price was fair for what we got. I would recommend this to everyone visiting Memphis.5 of 5 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphere

What a dissapointmentThe band we had on board was excellent and we had a blast enjoying them and the other passengers. Thats pretty much it for the good.

There were cobwebs all over the place. I learned over the edge of the railing to see the paddlewheel turning, and when I stood back up, my blue pants were streaked with ...6 of 11 Yahoo!

Not a real paddle wheel boatI always wanted to go on a paddle wheel boat. After I bought the ticket and and boarded my boat, I realized this it was a modern diesel steel boat. The paddle wheel in the back was only for show. I was disappointed.

Try the AIRBOAT RIDE---WOW!!!I took my family for a sightseeing tour during the summer--it was very relaxing and educational. During the trip we noticed a an airboat speeding by. We tried it and it was a thrill ride!! The captain went over sandbars,waves,dry land--you name it we did it!!! We are going back this year.13 of 18 Yahoo!

most horrible nightFebuary 14, 2008 the worst Valentines Day ever. It was my 5 year anniversary and I thought the riverboat would be a romantic idea, well i thought wrong.One, we get to the boat to find a horrible sitting arrangement, but guess what our name is marked off on it, so we have no seat. It was great standing there for 10 minutes while they tried to find ...9 of 19 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALL

The Best Tiome of my LifeThe Memphis Riverboats was the greatest experience we had while we were on vacation.
We did the Historical Sightseeing Cruise (spectacular) first, then we did the airboat ride(thrilling), after that we did the Dinner Cruise the food was awesome the crew was very nice and my husband got me a love package with a teddy bear and some balloons it was very romantic. I would tell everybody to go to the Memphis Riverboats.14 of 16 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue
