Awesome experience. Food was very tasty. Band was amazing. Very pleasant atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

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.

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!



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.
