I would only go for the band and the trip down the river. We took the evening cruise and the city lights were beautiful and the band was great. However, do not waste your money on the dinner portion. The food and service were not good - definitely not worth the money we paid for that portion. We were very disappointed with that part of the experience. It's probably better to eat in the French Quarter before you set sail, or just buy the nachos on the top deck.

This Evening Jazz Cruise was so much fun. We chose to do the dinner as well and the food was all very tasty. Our waiter was very attentive and was quick to bring us anything we needed. The cruise itself was very smooth and relaxing. The jazz band did a really good job. The captain gave some fun facts about the boat, the Mississippi, and things we passed on our way up the river which made it even more fun. We would definitely go again.
