"The Showboat Branson Belle is a beautiful boat!"
The showboat branson belle is a beautiful boat! Our server mike was very polite and professional. We got seats near the front with a great view. We attended the lunch cruise and the food was great, though not very big portions. There was not enough time between the two shows to look around much after waiting in line for the restroom, but i later discovered a lesser used restroom on the upper deck. We saw a comedian/magician and a musical review stage show. It was fun for all ages as we were mid-40ish, teen and tween and all had fun. There is also a small gift shop onboard. There are two lovely shops on shore and the walk from the parking lot to the dock area is very pretty reminiscent of an old southern plantation with lost of beautiful plantings.
I suggest getting there an hour or so early as the ticket line and line to board got very long quickly.
Don't forget your camera like i did!!!

" This was my favorite show of the trip."
This was my favorite show of the trip. The boat ride is nice, and we went out on the deck before the show. The weather was great. The dinner was good, considering all the people they have to serve in such a short time. The show itself was, in my opinion, awesome. They have some great talent there. Todd and his dogs are so much fun. I've seen the show three times, and never get tired of it. I highly recommend everyone to go to this one.

"Would recommend it to ANYONE visiting Branson! "
We thoroughly enjoyed this show! It was wholesome, fun and entertaining in every way. Would recommend it to anyone visiting branson! The mc was funny and engaging the lady violinist/acrobat/pianist/singer was especially awesome! Loved the ventriloquist and his antics with puppets and humans on stage! And the young tenor singer did himself well, too. The only downside was the heavy rains that prevented us from enjoying the cruise portion -- but since the show was indoors and protected, that took the edge off of that negative. We appreciated the patriotic ending to the program as well. And we enjoyed the meal, too!
