I misplaced my hat and the head of hospitality returned it to my daughter. He also served us lunch, since I have mobility issues.

I elected for the lunch cruise. The lunch was okay. I included a photo. I ate right when I boarded so that I could experience the bulk of the cruise. The captain did well narrating history but the view wasn't great. There wasn't much to look at as we went up and down the river. The jazz band played as we boarded and about the last 30 minutes of the tour. They were good. This is something I could have skipped. It didn't offer anything that I could have gotten on land.

Our cruise showcases the River, and its history. It is the reason the city exists on this spot. We regret that we did not meet your expectations.

Interesting narration as we sailed, telling us all about the Mississippi River, then good music up on the top deck.

Thanks Julie - that means a lot. The band enjoys knowing that they entertain our guests.
