Exceeded expectations I read mixed reviews of the daytime cruise on Lake Taneycomo but needed to flesh out an itinerary for my party. I didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised. We cruised on a beautiful fall day. Our captain ("The Dancing Captain") was interested in her guests, well-informed, personable and capable. One of our party in particular is into bird-watching and the captain made sure folks spotted interesting species and nests. We also learned some history and spotted where rich and famous folk live. We did not do the lunch because the reviews I had read weren't that great, but as the sandwich plates passed us by I have to say they looked rather tasty. We were glad we did this cruise and felt we learned more about the Branson area. We felt we got our money's worth, and would recommend it to other travelers.
