Me and my family had a family gathering in New Orleans and my auntie wanted to do the Natchez Harbor steamboat and we did lunch on the boat. I didn’t like the food cause I don’t like catfish and I think if you gonna charge $52.00 for lunch it should be buffet and have some food that people like

Thank you for the nice review. The $52 for the cruise, band, and narration also includes the lunch but is not the cost for lunch only. Some people love the catfish and red beans, etc. But it may not be for everyone. Suggestions?

I booked a last minute trip to New Orleans for my birthday along with my 21-year old daughter. We originally planned on the evening cruise but it was sold out so we booked the 1130am cruise. It was definitely a hot day and being on the water didn't seem to cool us off. There is a bar on each level which is a plus as that drink was needed. Upon boarding we met Gina who complimented me on my green manicure. She was very bubbly & welcoming. She quickly told us what to expect on the cruise & ensured us that we would enjoy ourselves. While standing in line for our drink Gina found us & directed us to another level where there was no line at the bar & referred the 'Jazzy Punch' as the drink of the day. Once I had the drink in hand she made sure to tell me 'to stir well or else' lol. It was hot out & I didn't have time to eat that morning but I sipped that drink & made it off the ship in one piece. She also offered to take pictures of my daughter & I to capture the day. THANKS GINA!! We did not participate in the lunch so I cannot speak to the food but the cruise was wonderful. In spite of the heat, we learned a lot about New Orleans. I enjoyed a great cocktail and got some great pics of a great city. I would definitely recommend.

I enjoyed the ride form the river & the tour guide. The lunch was great also. It was relaxing after so much the day before.
