The jazz band was very good. The staff was very friendly. The Captain gave a lot of information about the steam bat and sights on the Mississippi River. Bar prices were very reasonable.

Great option for Everyone!
September 10, 2026

The evening option is great for that late-night Mississippi breeze. The dinner option was surprisingly good as well. Great for everyone: singles, couples, and families!

Nice to do / meal was okay
September 08, 2026

The paddle wheel cruise was nice. To view New Orleans from the river was lovely. As expected the meal was okay. Arrive early, a lot of people are boarding the ship.
