We did the evening dinner jazz cruise with our group of 27. It was a fun night. The food was very good for a buffet, with chicken, seafood pasta, gumbo, potatoes and beans. Tea and coffee were provided with the meal and drinks were available for purchase. Two desserts filled us all to the top. The decks were full of chairs so it was easy to move about. Great night and would recommend to others.

A group of friends took a trip on the Natchez steamboat . It was quite a queue and the usual security checks . Staff were very helpful and it was a very warm day . Photographers are keen to take shots of all passengers and we did participate ! A really enjoyable river cruise on the Mississippi , with comfortable seating and quite spacious. You also do get a birds eye view of the whole of New Orleans and beyond , both old city and new , bridges and factories, commercial buildings and old traditional sugar factories. A worthwhile half day trip !!

The cruise was great! Got to sip on a drink (or two!) while listening to the history of the area and followed by the jazz group which was a lot of fun! If you'd like a lovely, leisurely afternoon, I'd recommend it!
