Very mediocre experience. Not worth our precious vacation time. Food was just ok. Overcrowded... Boring.

Perhaps our style of riverboat cruise did not meet your expectations. We hope you enjoy your vacation in our city.

We had a great time. The jazz band was fantastic and playing all the old jazz tunes. The narrator gave us a lot of history of the river. Very pleased with the whole experience.

This was a short notice trip, we booked it online and all you need to do is go to the window so they can give you the actual tickets based on the online reservation . Do not wait to be the last people boarding as it fills up pretty fast ( on a Saturday) and you wonā€™t find seats. I decided to stay on the top floor so you can see better and listen to the jazz band right as you cruise along the Mississippi river. Drinks are cheap, and the guide tells the story of New Orleans in a very pleasant way. You want a souvenir they ll have the pictures ready for you as you get off board.
