My sister and I went on the evening boat ride with the dinner option. Overall we had a very nice experience, it was our first time being on a steamboat. The ride was nice and smooth, relaxing environment listening to live jazz music, and the views from the Mississippi River was very pretty. I only have a couple cons and one had to do with the photography. They take a posed picture of you when you first get on the boat. My sister and I are Black and I don't think the employee knew about how to adjust the camera's lighting because our photograph came out pretty dark. The camera on my Android takes much better pictures in the dark. Also the food at dinner was just OK, nothing to rave about although I really enjoyed the bread pudding. If you want amazing food, I recommend going to any of the hundreds of fantastic restaurants in the area. Aside from the photograph and food, we had a really good time.

We are glad you had a good time overall. We will speak with the photo department about the correct lighting for everyone. They should know but perhaps they have a new member on staff. Thanks for sharing that.

My sisters and I were delighted with this evening Jazz cruise with dinner option. The food was delicious. Especially, the seafood pasta. You can definitely get seconds. Before arriving, we didn't realize there was parking available. Beware of cab drivers who cut off their meter to overcharge tourists. You're better off getting an Uber/Lyft, which was Much More reasonable. Although you may want to dress fancy or maybe casual clothing for nice pictures, wear comfortable shoes. Bring a sweater, it gets a bit nippy at night. Tip your servers. Our server, Antonauge, was excellent and very attentive. We're definitely coming back. It was well worth the price, time, and making new memories with loved ones. I give this 10 stars for delicious food, delightful people, fun times
