Everything about our sunset cruise was perfect, fed the ducks on the drawbridge walking in, spent plenty of $ at the gift shop that can only be described as A game stuff for sale, found the staff to all be very nice and engaging, enjoyed going out on the cruise with a few rum slushies and pretzel bites, the guitar player at the front of the boat was excellent music for the cruise, the weather and view was perfect, and the folks on the cruise with us were all very nice and worthy of light conversation!!!! Work this trip in and enjoy something different!

Yesterday, 3/21/2024, I booked the 7pm Sunset Cruise. I paid for an upgraded gold package. We came from GA to celebrate my Mom's 65th bday. Upon arrival, I was surprised to find our seating was bumped out of the upgraded window seat, moved to the 3rd level deck, due to a private party on the 1st & 2nd floor. I was told we were called and a voice-mail was left, which definitely didn't happen. The staff was nice & courteous, and although disappointing we accepted the 3rd level seating. Thankfully the weather was nice. Before boarding we wandered the gift shop, bought several items, went to the upper level bar & had a drink. Soon it became clear the 2 lower decks were reserved for some type of field trip. As the hoards of kids packed into the gift shop, I can only guess it was around 300 young teens. It became very clear we were NOT going to have a relaxed sunset cruise & frankly it was disturbing. We went along, tickets already purchased, having driven from GA for my Mom's birthday. At least the hoard would be downstairs, we thought. The loud DJ they had for the event completely drowned out our live musician. It was impossible to use the bathroom. The teens were wild, disruptive, & intimidating. Soon they wanted to explore 3rd deck. That was the end of my patience. Absolutely not acceptable. Top deck had several tables that paid for upgraded seating who got bumped up. We all paid hard earned money for a relaxing evening on a sunset cruise which wasn't provided. While the staff was excellent & full of grace trying to provide an enjoyable evening, the massive group of teens was a nightmare. Moving forward, my suggestion to the establishment would be, if a group of 300 kids rent the 2 levels, they should just rent the whole boat. Don't even accept bookings from additional guests. Charge the fieldtrip for the entire charter. I would have preferred to have been canceled, refunded, & spent money elsewhere. It's, in my opinion, a massive disappointment to have had this experience. Not in anyway what was expected. The ball was dropped yesterday. The entire top deck was cruisers that were bumped out of their premium packages, we all booked expecting relaxation, romance, or quality time with family & friends. It's mindblowing the establishment expected us cruisers to accept being overrun by 300 unruly teens. It's clear Southern Belle only cared about the extra revenue vs the experience of its guests.

Over Labor Day weekend, I took my Mom on a riverboat cruise on the Southern Belle. It was such a delightful experience! Felt like we were in another time, sitting on the deck watching the birds fly over the river as we sipped cocktails and listened to live music. Everyone was friendly. And we got to see a beautiful sunset over the river too! A great, low price for such a high quality life experience.

Sunset from the boat deck

our river view

What a wonderful ride we had yesterday on the Southern Belle! We were lucky enough to get a nice table on the upper deck and therefore shaded from the sun. We went up the gorge and it was beautiful. We were blessed to see six bald eagles on the trip. The captain really makes the ride enjoyable. He has a great personality and shares a lot of history about the river and Tennessee. They need help when it comes to lining up to go on the boat. I think they should organize it so that all the elderly are boarding first. And help making sure the line stays organized. It was a hot mess yesterday. It reminded me of concerts in the 70's with open seating. A little scary. Again, the Captain makes the trip!!

View from the Southern Belle

Food was divided into who had paid and at what level. We paid $75 and did not get fancy charcuterie board and we got plain cheesecake while those paid more got special toppings. Band was ok. Nothing special. Didnt get to see sites of chatt at night Stayed in dining room. This is not worth the money.

Went Saturday, 5/27/2023 at 5p.m. Beautiful weather and ride. Enjoyed the facts told and the humor during the ride. The young ladies at the check in where very polite and pleasant. When leaving, the dinner/cruise that was waiting to board after we left, over crowded the check in/gift shop area. I think management should utilize the scanners they don't use to help their staff get customers checked in more efficiently. The 2 young ladies were doing a great job and their best with juggling people checking in and those trying to buying tems.

Food is disgusting and service is extremely poor. Definitely a spot to try in chattanooga, but would not return. Could be much better if more detail was focused on.

Bar and food are great Shelly is awesome loved this outing lol Shelly did an amazing job serving drinks for us. She went above and beyond anything we could have asked thanks for the great experience.

Awesome captain, funny and informative. The PA system was shoddy but the captain included the kids in tid bits and even let them honk the horn/blow the whistle. You get a cute mini moon pie upon boarding. The views were great and you don't feel crowded. We also had a drink which was decent. We didn't try any food.

Although the boat was nice, If you do plan on going on this boat, just pay the normal price. My friend and I wanted to get seats by a window and paid $211 for that and it also included a charcuterie/cheese plate with a bottle of wine. We were told there would be live music, a 'big' cheese and meat tray and a Good time. We were escorted to our seats that already had a very sad looking charcuterie and cheese plate. Only a couple of fruits, literally planters peanuts, basically string mozzarella cheese, one slice of Gouda, and two slices of cheddar and meat that had looked as if it had been sitting out for a while. The live music was two floors up so we had no entertainment and the bottle of wine was worth 9.00$ for the bottle according to google. Again, I am sure the people who paid 39$ a piece had a MUCH better experience than us, who paid 106$ a piece. Was very disappointed.

• 762marceem 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great cruise awesome relaxing vibes Everything about this event was great. The weather was a skyblue, 60 degrees, light wind day for the sunset 6:00 cruise on 3/23/24. The vibe was so relaxing. They sell beverages of all types and some snacks. As soon as they let us board at 5:30, we went to the 3rd deck and grabbed 3 seats on the back center of the boat. It was chilly but we had jackets and that was enough to keep us warm the entire trip. We left at 6:00 and arrived back just before 7:30, so the sun was up for the duration of the cruise and that probably makes a big difference on the temperature. A lot of people stayed inside, but we liked the wind and views from the back of the boat. The live music/guitarist vocal inside was playing on the second deck, but the sound was piped to the outside so we could hear it at a nice volume and still talk the entire trip. It was not crowded this day, and I felt like we had abundant space to ourselves. It really was a nice relaxing event. I would 10/10 do this again. Weather makes a big difference, I am sure. We had a great time! With regard to departure, some tips: the boat you are riding on, is the one behind the floating "store" that looks like a boat, that is docked on the riverfront. You check in with the cashiers there and they trade out your reservation receipt for boarding tokens. Then at 5:30 you can board the boat that actually makes the journey and it is situated behind the larger boat store. Unless you are looking to souvenir shop, there really is no reason to board/arrive until about 5:20. Read more Written March 25, 2024
• mcaroberts 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Money Grab The food is ok but for the price I expected better. Tased muck like cafeteria food. The staff was not great with one exception, one guys runs around like crazy because no one else is doing anything but stirring at there phone. The live band wasn't bad. Cost an extra (which i bought) $100 per couple to get your food first and hot and to get a windows seat, you also get some meat and chesses when you first sit down and a bottle of $12 wine. I did a similar curse in Knoxville that blows this out of the water and is cheaper. Read more Written February 20, 2024

• Sightseer751911 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Very Disappointed in the New Years Cruise Given the price for the New Years Eve Cruise, $398 (including taxes, 2 people) I was certain this would include dinner. It did not. We received a charcuterie board, which I did enjoy, and 2 bottles of inexpensive champagne. On a daily basis, a dinner cruise costs $59/person. Why would I not expect this to be any different…given the cost. I won’t do this event again. Read more Written January 2, 2024

• PaulR9T 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Less than Gold I wanted to have a special night for my second anniversary. I took my wife on a trip to Chattanooga. The River Boat was our last stop of the day. I ordered the gold package with wine charcuterie and souvenir glasses. Our wine wasn't brought to our table. The hostess, as she was telling us it was our turn at the buffet, recommended that we go to the bar and ask for it. I figured that was a job for the staff not the customer. But not wanting to have my wife wait I went to the bar to ask about our wine. I was required to produce a form that should have been on the table we were seated at. I didn't have the form nor was it on the table. The cruise director said just give it to them, which kind of made me feel like they thought I was trying to cheat them. I took our wine and glasses back to the table. Never received a charcuterie tray, although after an hour or so I did notice an empty table with wine glasses and charcuterie sitting at it. Most likely we were seated at the wrong table, or possibly the Gold was left at the wrong table. The numbers on neighbors tickets seemed to indicate we were in the assigned seat. The band played well, the cruise was as expected. My wife had bigger smiles from antiquing on the way to the boat. Read more Written December 26, 2023
• 65panther 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles A Big Disappointment! A big disappointment - really thought a one is more appropriate but trying to be nice at Christmas. Which is part of the disappointment - billed as a Christmas cruise. A duo tried but not too much Christmas music. Very disorganized- from the late loading. (More time to buy “stuff” in the gift shop?) continued - the no organization - to the purchasing of drinks. One bar tender for lots of folks. Poor Christmas decorations. All above pales when co,pared to a very bad meal. Maybe was roast beef. Couldn’t cut it more less eat it. Stringy green beans. Cold mashed potatoes - warmth would not have helped. Skimpy salad. No choice on dessert - was at table already. Take it or leave it! As was water. No choice of tea, soda or coffee. That we were made aware of! Went and got our own - tea at least. Sweet only! I’ll stop. Just was not a good experience and especially when compared to several others we had taken in other cities. Sorry but we don’t recommend! Read more Written December 23, 2023
• tlgheg44 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Disappointed. Last to go to buffet line; only scraps full of gristle when we got there with no offer to replenish. No table service other than to bring a small piece of cheesecake. Had to go to the bar to get iced tea. For a Christmas Carol dinner cruise the music was very disappointing. Maybe 5 or 6 rock ‘n roll versions of Christmas songs the entire time. The chicken and rolls were good and the Santa was nice’ Definitely not worth the $60 per person we paid.

Food was so nasty and not filling that we had to get another meal from elsewhere on our way back to our condo. The entertainment didn’t know many Christmas songs, although it was a Christmas carol cruise. If you want good food, don’t go here. If you want good customer service, don’t go here. If you want a nice experience, don’t waste your money on this place. Read more Written December 19, 2023
