You should really make sure that you call ahead to the Colonel to make sure that all of the information is correct. Firstly, the Dinner/Dance Cruise is only on selected Saturdays of the month and is $45. It sails from 7:00pm - 10:00pm. They offer a daily cruise around the Bayou, etc. That costs $8 for adults and $5-6 for kids.

I get a year pass to Moody Gardens every year. I love the Colonel boat ride. You can dine or have a mixed drink or just enjoy the view. I especially love the ride during the Festival of Lights in Nov to Dec. The Christmas lights are lovely over the bay. Residents on the bay also decorate and the view is outstanding. I enjoy the paddlewheel as well. ...

Included in day pass to Moody G. Short trip,didn't see much. You can bring your own food & drinks so a picnic would have been nice. Nice little playground if you need to wait or for after the ride.

Aside from the floating, outdated, bordello motif, the bar was eager to serve all who could partake of overpriced, screw-top 3 oz. cups of wine. The ride was slow and boring, but less than an hour.. don't go out of your way to pay extra if the ride doesn't come in the package you purchased. Kids were bored as there was no entertainment ...
