Worst experience on a river cruise!!
This was a terrible experience so save your time and money and avoid the Creole Queen Jazz river cruise! Despite reserving a table by the window for a special occasion, we were seated at the back near the paddle-wheel which was so noisy we could not talk. Then when we asked to be re-seated, the only option we were given was a table right between 2 restrooms - how unappetizing. They ran out of dessert so we had none but the main courses were so tasteless and cold that it was probably not a big loss.

This was an extremely enjoyable experience. From the online reservation and purchase of voucher to the ease of retrieving the ticket upon arrival. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed both bands. We even danced upstairs. I have already recommended it to friends!

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!
