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.

We booked the dinner cruise. The food was adequate but I feel one would be better off getting dinner prior to the cruise. Dinner was buffet style with chicken, pasta, potatoes, green beans, salad, and bananas foster or bread pudding. The food was not hot and not worth the cost considering all of the wonderful restaurants in the area. The cruise itself was beautiful and worth the expense. Embarkation and disembarking on were a breeze.

In Nola with husband for 2 days but had emergent knee surgery 2 weeks prior so was on crutches- The captain and crew made accommodations- allowing us to skip the line and use elevator.. Views were beautiful, Jazz was great, verbal tour informative without boredom and dinner was excellent! We had a lovely evening and plan on bringing our in-laws next time!!

Bring a jacket! It’s very windy and cool on the water… This tends to push people inside and that is not where you want to be when you’re on a cruise hoping to see the skyline. The cold wind made it kind of a loss… but that’s our own fault for not planning ahead. But since I could see lots of others did not anticipate the weather change either, we were not alone. So learn from our mistake & dress warmly & you will have a nice evening☺️

New Orleans weather can go from 40 in the morning to 75 in the afternoon and then back down again. But you can always remember that it is a bit cooler on the river at all times.
