Don’t go

No one told us there would be no live jazz band. The music was basically a cd. The bartender didn’t know how to make drinks - what a disappointment compared to last year. Not worth the money. At all!

Anniversary Weekend

Went to New Orleans for our anniversary and my wife had always talked about going on one of the paddleboats. We went on this one and it was very nice. Music was good, would've preferred a jazz band with more instruments but that doesn't take away from what the band did. They were good, the food was authentic and good, and the atmosphere was romantic. It was everything we expected and more.

Nice experience, but I would have rather done the lunch cruise.

The food was better than I expected. The service team was gracious and courteous. It was a pity that a heavy downpour did not let me be in the upper deck. I would recommend more the lunch cruise, especially during inclement weather.

It started too late to be a sunset cruise and you had to eat right away which we were docked for the meal. The food/ buffet was terrible and any drink besides water was a charge.( no tea, coffee, soda) we were not given the option to eat upstairs which the food looked awesome!! The cruise was not the full amount of time and it was so dark you couldn’t see anything. The jazz band was nice and the waitress was friendly. Would not spend 168$ on this again.

I really enjoyed the band and shrimp appetizers. The only suggestion that I have is to incorporate cell phone charger outlets in the walls.

The service was poor and it’s not clear that the meal is included or not when you purchase. It’s advertised for 2 hours and it’s less running time. There is no explanation of the sites on the river, which would be helpful.
