What an awesome buffet! Although it was cold the jazz band was very entertaining. We celebrated a 60th and the band played happy birthday jazz style.

It was a relaxing cruise, with a nice dinner and great music. The food on the buffet was delicious and the music provided a nice atmosphere.

Had a nice cruise on thanksgiving and it was good for the dinner drinks high no matter where you go in NO. Lots of people joined in on this cruise, small band ended it up as a good day.

This experience was excellent! Everything was top notch. All the staff were friendly and welcoming, the food was excellent, drinks were reasonably priced and the band was amazing. We especially liked that they weren’t too loud, but provided just the right ambience. We would 100% do this again and had the best time.

This paddleboat tour was worthy every penny. We went down the Mississippi to a national park battlefield and learned more about the battle of 1812. Charles was the narrator on the ship and kept us entertained both ways. Drinks are available Enjoyed the afternoon ride with family.

The cruise itself was ok nice ride and some scenery jazz band was entertaining. The dining room was freezing so much so the food was cold. Food was tasty but with it only being lukewarm it wasn’t very enjoyable

My husband and I opted for the dinner package and happy that we did. The bar offered one the best Hurricanes I have had. Overall a lovely night.
