Nice trip on the Mississippi River. Sold out cruise but never felt crowded. While we enjoyed the cruise, the band that played jazz was excellent. Recommend the top deck to see/hear the jazz band in person.

Very nice ride along the Mississippi River. Great narration. Enjoyed the live jazz band. Seats on top floor are hard to get. Some people left standing. Get on early to make sure you get a seat.

The ship itself was nice. The commentator had interesting information but spoke in a monotone. The music was nice. The food was not very good and it was all spicy which was fine with me, but not for the others in my party. It is a buffet but they choose what to plate you which was not ideal. I understand COVID precautions, but why not at least let people choose for themselves what they want and they could still have the staff plate it. Itā€™s not that we didnā€™t enjoy but the food situation along with the commentator where such that I wouldnā€™t do it again.
