Belle of Louisville

We are watching the Ghost Hunters show and they are on this boat. Anyone ever taken a sightseeing/dinner cruise?? How was it?

I've been on the dinner/bluegrass music trips. It's OK but that dang boat ain't got no trolling motor.:confused:

Hahaha can't imagine the batteries it would take!! Was the food decent? I'm guessing it would be like a Texas Roadhouse or Logan's quality??

Food was OK. Nothing special. Rotary Club type dinner fare. Ham or chicken, and the usual sides of green beans, mashed tators,etc.

I wouldn't do it for the food so much as the ambience of the river, and the paddle wheel and the calliope. Pick a night cruise in May.. Jul, Aug just gets too hot. Food was fair, not a steak house quality but more the quality you'd find in a buffet house. Been 4 years since we last tied it, so factor that in, things change.

Almost forgot to mention a good alternative. We hit Buckheads in Indiana for dinner and get a great steak, or we hit Hard Rock for a steak, then go down to the river and catch the night cruise. Saves some money in the long run, and the river from the boat at night is a great sight seeing tour. Ya get a good meal, and then a relaxing cruise. Anotehr option, but pricey, is make a reservastion for early dinner at the Galt house Riverview Diner, then hit the boat.

Thanks man. I like the idea of a good steak first. I have seen a part of Louisville at night while fishing with John Smith but we were catching catfish :) so a relaxing time with my girls would be nice.

I'm pretty sure the boat now has AC so any summer month is not a problem.

Been awhile since I've been on the bell but as mentioed I would eat before going.It's a great little ride and a relaxing time,of course anytime on the river is a wonderful time to me. Speakin of John I wonder were ole Fisheaters been? And dang Don 10,000 posts....You the man LOL. Chuck
