Unfortunately moments before the scheduled I received an email notifying me that the cruise had to be canceled due to mechanical problems - so we were not able to enjoy the evening we had planned.

Absolute waste of money, the boat was not the Natchez which was the reason we booked , the ticket office had known for hours it was not sailing but Viator only told us after we had checked in, the food was a mediocre buffet at best and the Jazz band was only 3 people not the normal full band. I did try and complain to Viator who we booked through and they were not interested in fact sent me a link to book again.

If you booked through Viator and left an email address we did reach out to guests in advance. We do it electronically in order to reach as many people as possible. The lunch is always a Trio, and at this the Dukes provide a Trio as well.

I got to the ticket window about 15 minutes before the “dinner cruise” just to be informed it had been cancelled due to maintenance issues. I had planned my whole evening around the cruise and would have spent my day differently if I’d known it had been cancelled. They said they would give us a “partial” refund if we wanted to board the boat to eat dinner—off a buffet. There was a line of people waiting to get tickets only to be told they needed to put their names on a list for a refund. I understand that maintenance issues happen, but as soon as the tour operators knew there was a problem and the cruise would be called, they should have at least sent us a text message/email so we could make other plans (like book other tours or restaurant reservations). In addition, I think the description for this activity should tell you that dinner is a buffet. It isn’t a small menu for you to order off of. Instead, it’s salads and seafood pastas that you could get at many of the other restaurants in the area. You can spend the same amount of money at a restaurant to get better quality food for the price.
