Steamboat Natchez Evening Jazz Cruise with Dinner Option

Overview
Savor the beauty and romance of the New Orleans skyline aboard the Dinner Jazz Cruise. Enjoy the tunes of the Dukes of Dixieland jazz band and a narrated tour provided by our captain while cruising the Mighty Mississippi River.

Please note: there are two seating times for dinner, so please make sure to check availability of both if one is not available. The first dinner seating is from 6-7:15pm and the second dinner seating is from 7:45-9pm.

Visiting NOLA for a work conference and this dinner cruise was a great experience for us. I recommend going early since the dinner is buffet style, first come first served and they take photos of you before you board the boat.

The most unfavorable memorable part of our cruise was when we went to have dinner. We were told by one member of the staff that we could join the buffet line which at the time had 10 people on it. When we got to the line another staff member asked her to sit down. She said she had to control the line. I explained to her that the other staff member said we could join the line and at the present moment the line was short compared to earlier but she still insisted. My husband was embarrassed by the situation. I then went up to the buffet line and asked one of the servers who was in charge and she asked me what was the issue. She never told me who was in charge but instead said “we’re doing the best we can, and I promise you there will enough food”. We sat at our table for another 15 minutes to finally be the the last group to be attended to. I then asked our waiter who was in charge and the manager came and apologized. The staff here needs to first know the difference between a long Lina and short line and also be on the same page. I will definitely let anyone I know who’s going to New Orleans to skip this excursion
