We really enjoyed the jazz cruise with dinner buffet. The food was fantastic and the jazz band was awesome. Recommend highly. The bread pudding was scrumptious.

Good dinner with jazz music and a lovely sunset on the river.
The dinner buffet is good by NOLA standards - nothing to get too excited over, but good for the venue and experience. The wine list is pretty good and reasonably priced. Seating for dinner is prompt and staff is attentive and courteous. Your table is yours for the evening, so feel free to take a step outside to wander the deck, listen to the live music up top, and watch the sunset. After dark, head back in for dessert and coffee!

Your cruise was the high light of our trip!! Dinner was good but the evening escalated from there. We experienced an incredible sunset with Dixie land music in the background. The music was unforgettable with our request of Proud Mary being played. All 3 of us enjoyed each moment!! Friendships were made that will last forever! Rate this evening as a # star!

Arrived early and they let us right on! Cocktails were very good as was the dinner buffet. Plenty to eat and the red beans and rice and the beef were fantastic. The band was a lot of fun and they looked like they really enjoyed being there and playing for us. Would go again!

It was the highlight of our entire trip! The lead singer was only okay, as he had to look at the lyrics on a piece of paper, but overall, it was great!

This was a fantastic experience!! The dinner buffet was awesome! All the food was delicious! And our server, Kevin, was great. The music was fabulous! And a 2 hour cruise on the Mississippi in a Paddlewheeler was the coolest thing ever!!!
