The Ohio River cruise is the best thing about this dinner boat, a Love Boat-style cruiser that offers an expensive nightly buffet that's eerily reminiscent of a Long Island wedding reception. The cruise and the all-you-can-eat experience are memorable, although it gains from the cruise environment; the same fare on the mainland wouldn't draw crowds. $$$$
