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.

The Steamboat NATCHEZ is taking some time off, but her sister vessel, the Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS will be taking her place. You’ll get the same authentic riverboat experience of a leisurely, two-hour cruise on the mighty Mississippi, enjoying traditional live jazz, craft cocktails, and all the beautiful New Orleans sites, while also exploring the newly renovated riverboat. Make sure you check out all four decks - the top deck view is a sight to see! Upgrade your ticket to include the dinner buffet.

We felt like things were not clear. Told as long as we were on by 7pm before ship sailed all was good. Then told we were to late for the dinner we paid for . They did move us to the later seating however we never had time to even walk around and see anything let alone listen to the music. Maybe Our mistake was adding the dinner. There was not enough time for both. Dinner was average at best. On a positive note the staff was very kind.

The boat was magnificent and would seem to be a recorded narrative was informative but the food was pretty terrible and the staff wasn’t very interactive.The photos that are taken of you in front of the boat as you boardWe’re nice but unless you’re willing to buy the whole package for $35 of the same pose, you can’t even buy just one even at a higher price. All in all, it’s a beautiful ride up to Mississippi but I would definitely skip out on dinner next time

We are sad that the staff and meal was not 100% pleasing. I need to share that the commentary is live by one of our captains, not prerecorded.
