Very disappointing!! The description of this tour is totally inaccurate. The “exquisite dinner” was a buffet: crawfish over pasta, chicken, string beans and potatoes. It very much feels like a cafeteria. Not one server came to our table the entire dinner. If you want a drink you apparently have to get up and get it yourself. The “Grammy nominated band” is 4 guys using the name of the band but not one of them was actually in the band that was nominated and they played a few songs while the boat was on the dock and the SAME 5-6 songs when it was time to go back to the dock. There was a man’s voice over the PA system droning on about the boat (I think) you really couldn’t hear him - it was all muffled (and annoying). We had to stand the ENTIRE time because there weren’t enough seats. They totally over-sold this tour (both figuratively and literally)! I will say, most of the staff were extremely nice and very accommodating. Except the deck hands, the one I asked a question to was extremely rude and dismissive.

Our apology for any staff that was rude and dismissive. Although you did not appreciate the musicians we know that their style might not be everyone's preference. Since Covid, musicians have changed bands and even professions, so no it is not possible to have those band same members on every night but they are all professionals.
