It was so nice and relaxing! Learned a lot about the surrounding areas as well! There was live music and the nachos were great! The paddlewheel made it worth it!

It was okay, I guess. Make sure to fall in line early, so you can reach the boat earlier than others. If you want to listen to jazz music, you either have to be at the top deck, inside, or have really good hearing. We sat at the second floor, outside, and barely heard the music. If you get to go inside, there’s TVs that show the band playing. There’s this person who tells us information on the way. There’s a certain “good” side. I didn’t sit on the “good” side, so I basically saw nothing, whereas the people on the good side saw everything the person narrated. ~Getting Onboard~ When we arrived, there was a long line. If you arrive early, you can choose the good side. The good side is probably facing the city, because the person who narrates tells facts along the way of the tour. Make sure to bring your vaccination card! ~Ticket Information~ If you book the tickets online, make sure you stop by the ticket booth to obtain the physical ticket. ~The Views~ On the good side, you see the city while the person tells facts and information. On the bad side, you only see brown, murky waters and blank land. The top deck (back) overlooks the steamboat paddle and jazz band. The second deck (back) gets the steamboat paddle at a better view than the top deck. ~Pictures & Shop~ At the beginning, you get to take your picture in front of the boat, and while you’re on it, you get to purchase the pictures for $40. There’s a gift shop. Others include meals, seating areas, and jazz. Overall, it was ok, I guess.
