The food was very tasty, especially for made on-mass. Would definitely recommend the dinner option. Service friendly and drinks good and not badly priced. The let down for our group was the band, found them a bit sedate, was expecting something more upbeat. Glad we did it, but wouldn't do it again.

The band plays a lot of traditional jazz and that sometimes is favored by some and not so much by others. Thank you for letting us know.

What a wonderful way to experience NOLA. The food was good. Just a little disappointed at the music. We didn’t realize that we We’re designated to eat dinner before we even left the port

We have been doing two seatings on the dinner cruise to leave people time to dine and time to sightsee.

The tour was fine, but the included dinner was below standard. It was chicken breast. some pasta seafood and potatoes, with gumbo as a pre course appetizer: Let's start with the gumbo: It was served look warm, which didn't go well with the extra sliminess of the okra. The roux was very slimy. It was not good at all. Moving on to the main courses. The food was served buffet style where they fixed the plates for you. This was already a bad sign. Potatoes were good. Everything else was warm to luke warm. This made the seafood pasta inedible. The chicken breast had what was supposed to be a cajun sauce on it. It was red but lacked much flavor at all. Also on the third floor, the room where you get drinks and snacks smelled like a sewage. It was very strong. We went on May 7th 2022 My recommendation? Take the tour, skip the included meal.
