Great trip on the Mississippi

I had a terrific time with my three grown children on this trip. The food was amazing and I learned so much about NOLA that I did not know. The jazz music was awesome and the beer was cold. What more can you ask for?

What a great way to spend some time getting to know New Orleans. The boat ride was very scenic. Thankfully they offered food and drinks if you didn’t take part in the luncheon. The boat ride is money well spent.

My family and I had an awesome experience. The crew was very friendly. We had the package that included the meal. The food was great. We were under the impression that we had to make a choice between Red Beans and Rice or Catfish. The meal included both. I would tell anyone going in the future if you don't know where you are going make sure you put the correct city in your directional app. There's two Toulouse St. One in Metairie and the other is New Orleans. We ended up in Metairie instead of New Orlean. We were a little late as the New Orleans location was 15 minutes away. Also, the line is very long so as the information on the site say be there 15 minutes prior you should.

This was my 1st time to New Orleans, and I've always wanted to be on a steamboat on the Mississippi river, so this was my chance! I booked a 11am jazz cruise on Saturday, May 27th 2023. The cruise lasted about one and a 1/2 hours and the 1st half was narrated very nicely. On the way back, a jazz band livened up the ship by playing some nice jazz. I really enjoyed cruising down the Mississippi and seeing the city from the water. We learned some interesting things and saw some cool sites. Definitely worth while!

The food was amazing, the waiters were very nice. The boat was beautiful. Loved listening to the band play. The gift shop was cute, the lady running the register was very friendly and let us know of some good spots to visit

It was an easy process to get our tickets. This was a wonderful experience, well worth the money we paid.

We enjoyed this trip. Food was good and the staff was great. Great story telling about the history of the city. I would recommend it for everyone to experience.
