We enjoyed being on the Creole Queen and found the staff friendly. We also enjoyed the live jazz band. If we were to do it again, we would not get the dinner included. Even though the beef, gumbo, and bread pudding were good, etc., there are just so many options for amazing food in NOLA that we likely missed out on a dinner elsewhere. Good food just does not equal amazing food. There isn’t too much to see at night, though the city lights are a nice backdrop, and the Mississippi was very calm. Overall, a good, one-time experience.

I have never done dinner on a boat. It was a nice experience. The buffet was a bit limited but it was a smooth ride from start to finish.

We took the dinner cruise in February so it was dark so couldn’t see a lot but the lights were pretty. Food was ok. Not great as it was cold. Told the waiter and he said to get more toward the bottom of the pan. The red beans were the best thing on the buffet beside the roll. The 3 piece band was good but they took several breaks.

I was dissappointed with this cruise. Partly my fault, I should have booked a daytime cruise. We didn't see anything at night. I do feel the food could have been a whole lot better and the staff could have been a lot more friendly and more service oriented.
