We did the jazz/dinner cruise. This was a fun trip. Check-in was easy. There was a bit of a line to get on the boat because they were taking everyone’s picture but it moved smoothly. The boat itself was nice. There was plenty of seating on all of the decks and the bar lines were not bad. The staff was all very friendly. my only complaint was with the dinner scheduling. The website advertises two seatings and we specifically chose the second, 745, because we were having a late lunch. When we got our tickets they confirmed we had the 745 seating. When we went to get on the boat young lady handed us a slip and said you’ll be eating at 6:15 which was immediately. We said that wasn’t what we bought or agreed to so she said I can put you off until seven. We reluctantly agreed to that. Then when we went to the dining area at that time there were no tables available and we had to wait probably 10 minutes to get a table cleared and seated. That whole issue with the dining time is why this is a four-star and not a five star review. The food was above average for a buffet which had to serve a couple of hundred people.The jazz band was great and the crowd was fun with a lot of people dressed up for Halloween. The sun was down so there were no sights to see on shore but the ride was great. I recommend the trip.

I was disappointed there weren't more food options, and the cruise had a large group on board. It was hard to hear, as the group was excited, noisy, and having fun. The cruise should alert individuals when large groups are on the same boat.

This was my third cruise on the Natches. The first two were excellent with service that truly was fantastic. This last cruise, the jazz band was on the upper deck, outside whereas on the past two cruises, the band was inside on the second level which was much more enjoyable and intimate. This past cruise, the captain made no mention of the historical sites we passed. The service on this past cruise was almost nonexistent compared to the other cruises. All in all, they need to step it up with the Jazz/Dinner cruise. I rated this a two star this visit.
