Christmas Party Cruise on the Landing Princess |
Do I have to purchase tickets in advance?
Advance purchase is also strongly recommended, as cruises often sell out quickly. To maximize your chances of getting the day and time you prefer, please buy your tickets well in advance. Tickets can only be purchased with a Visa, Mastercard or American Express.
What about taking children on the cruise?
Children are more than welcome aboard this Employee Christmas Party Cruise. Because these tickets are already greatly discounted we are only offering this one rate. Children must have a secured ticket in order to attend. Children 3 and under are free, but must reserve a ticket in advance.
What happens if it rains?
Our captain is in constant communication with the Coast Guard and the National Weather Service. We do go out rain or shine; however, we would never put our passengers in harm's way. In the event of severe or unsafe weather we would still enjoy our party cruise on board but the boat would remain dockside.
How many people can be on the boat at one time?
The Landing Princess is 100 feet long and can accommodate up to 149 passengers. The lower deck seats up to 90 people and the other open decks have plenty of additional seating!
What will we see on the cruise?
This is an evening cruise. Weather permitting, you can wander through our outdoor areas and observe the moonlit sky and sparkling water. We are planning an evening in our climate controlled indoor area, full of fun and laughter for you and your group.
Are food or drinks served during the cruise?
Yes! On this party cruise you will enjoy complementary appetizers, chicken wings with dip, meatballs, cheese-meat-cracker platters, veggies and assorted cookies. Water is provided along with a full bar available on board that serves sodas, liquor, beer, and wine. There will be drink specials all night long. Sodas go for $2 a piece and come with a souvenir cup, alcoholic drinks range from $3 - 6. Please bring extra cash with you if you'd like to purchase beverages on board!
Do you accept credit cards on board?
Yes! We accept Visa, Discover, Mastercard, or American Express at our bars on board. Please bring one of the above credit cards or cash with you in order to purchase beverages on board.
Can I bring my own food and beverages on board?
No, unfortunately personal foods and beverages are prohibited aboard the Landing Princess for insurance reasons. We will, however, have complementary appetizers, and two full bars!
Can I bring alcohol on the boat?
No, you cannot bring your own personal alcoholic beverages on board, but there are alcoholic beverages available for purchase on board at our full bar. Alcoholic drinks range anywhere from $3 - 6 and include liquor, beer, and wine and we will be offering drink specials all night long!
Do I need to be 21 to drink alcohol?
Yes - you must be at least 21 years of age if you plan to purchase alcoholic beverages on board. Please remember to bring government issued identification with you if you would like to purchase alcohol at the full bar on board.
Is there air conditioning/heating on board?
Yes, the Princess is enclosed and climate controlled.
Is it customary to tip the crew?
Your crew works very hard to make sure you have the best experience possible aboard the Landing Princess. While tips are not required, they are greatly appreciated!
Is seating assigned on the cruise?
Yes. A seating chart will be designed that will place you with your group in a particular spot in the main cabin. Seating is assigned based on the order that the bookings come in. If you would like to request a particular spot, please let us know what your preferences are upon purchasing your tickets in a message to the seller. Keep in mind that we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate your requests.
Are there life jackets on board?
Yes, the Landing Princess has more than enough life jackets available for all passengers at any time. However, you are not required to wear life jackets during the dinner cruise.
Is the boat wheelchair accessible?
Yes, the Landing Princess is wheelchair accessible, and so are the restrooms on board. Do keep in mind that the entrance to the boat is only 30 inches wide, so some larger wheelchairs and electric scooters or Segways may be more difficult to accommodate. If you'd like to make a special request for boat side drop off or assistance, please click on the "Contact this Seller" link.
Is smoking allowed?
Yes, smoking is allowed on the outdoor decks in designated areas only.
Are restrooms available?
Yes! The Landing Princess has two clean restrooms on board (one for men and one for women). They are both wheelchair accessible as well.
Is the cruise suitable for pregnant women?
The dinner cruise aboard the Landing Princess should not be a problem for pregnant women as the waters are very calm and boat very stable. If you are concerned, you may want to consider consulting a doctor before attending the cruise.
Is there room to stow my belongings on board?
There is room on board to store limited belongings. If you have large personal belongings (such as a suitcase), we may ask you to keep them in our ticket booth which will be securely surveyed throughout the duration of the cruise.
Will I get seasick?
The Landing Princess is a large, stable boat and Lake Taneycomo has very calm waters. Therefore seasickness is very rare. If you are particularly prone to motion sickness, please do consider consulting your doctor before attending the cruise.
What else can I do around the meeting location?
There are plenty of great things to do at Branson Landing, from a Build-a-Bear workshop to various pro shops, fast food restaurants, and high end dining. All shops and restaurants are within walking distance from the meeting location, and historic downtown Branson is only a short two blocks away.
What about parking?
Free parking can be found at the north end of Branson Landing, near the corner of Branson Landing Boulevard and North Commercial Street next to Belks Department Store. Once you park, you can walk along Promenade Way through the shops of Branson Landing or head straight down to the boardwalk.
How far is the boat from the parking area?
The boat is about a 5 minute walk from the main parking area. If there is anyone in your party who would have difficulty walking that distance, you may drive up to the gate near the boat and drop them off before parking your car. To access the service road, please pull up to the motion sensor electronic arm, wait for the arm to rise, and drive up to the gate. Please note that there is no parking on the service road or by the gate, so after dropping your party off, please drive over to the main parking area.
Will there be souvenirs available for purchase?
Yes! We will have a gift shop opening soon that will sell many different souvenirs.
Are gift certificates available?
Yes, gift certificates are available for any of our cruises on the Lake Queen or the Landing Princess. Please click on the "Contact this Seller" link if you're interested in purchasing a gift certificate.
Are private tours/charters available?
Yes! Private sightseeing tours and charters on the Lake Queen and private charters on the Landing Princess are a great idea for any corporate function or special event. If you are interested in chartering either of our boats, please click on the "Contact this Seller" link to inquire further.
