Helpful improvement Idea

The Paddlewheeler Creole Queen Jazz Cruise was OK for me and my family members. The staff were helpful and caring. However, There are rooms for improvement. The cruise was just OK. It would be better if it includes a speaker or someone giving a historical land map information or doing anything to entertain the audience rather than just have people sitting down for two hours and doing nothing but drinking and using bathrooms.

Poor attitude from hostess. Disappointing.

, Aug 2022
The hostess refused to give us a table by the window. There were 3 or 4 tables for two available. They had tablecloths, just needed water and silverware. I told her it was our 50th wedding anniversary. She said no. They were too busy. She seated us in front of the restroom instead. We were extremely disappointed.
Good ride

This was a ok experience, we paid for the ViP Experience from Viator. It was no way near a VIP package. We waited in the rain. I am disabled and there was no where for me to sit while we waited I have a medical bag and have nothing that i hide in it, but the entry security guard treated me like a threat. Once we started walking on to the boat. The arch way is not built for wheelchairs or people that have walking issues. Its angle and drops are awful. Once we go on. No one explained that there where handicap lifts, until we were in the dinning room. The food was below sub-par. The only food that met expectations based tour descriptions where the bbq and bread pudding. Although, it said water included we had to ask for refills. Soft drinks where $3/ mixed drinks $10. We go a mixture of drinks like Shirley Temples and hurricane. The drinks and bar staff where amazing. When i asked to use the lift after we ate it was embarrassing having everyone look as us. It took 2 people to use it and they made sure to not be discreet. Once on 2nd floor i felt trapped as I didn't want to ask for help again. The restrooms were disgusting and not cleaned. I personally didn't like it.
On the otherside the boat is beautiful the interior takes you back in time. At night its gorgeous and the lights bring it alive. The music was wonderful and views one of a kind. Our tour maybe a one off, but there are other boats that may have better experiences.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
