We did the Gen. Jackson dinner cruise and it was fabulous. more on Yahoo! Travel

Heads up to any 20-something who wants to impress their parents -- take them on this trip! It is a bit pricey, you're going to drop $75 on each of them but it is well worth it. Don't cheap out either, take the full deal of ... more on Yahoo! Travel

I was very disappointed in the whole thing - it was totally not what I was lead to believe. There was no 3 course meal - it was picnic buffet! The wait staff did nothing - we had to go inside to get our own drinks which were not included ... more on Yahoo! Travel
