We Had a great time on the riverboat. If we had it to do again, we would eat at the 6:00 sitting. The music was good. The commentary about sights along the river was interesting.

Jazz and buffet on the mighty Mississippi
We went to the early service for dinner at 6 PM. This allowed us to eat and be done by the time the boat sailed. The buffet included table salad, green beans almandine, creamed spinach, pasta Alfredo, seafood pasta, pork loin cutting table and roast beef table. There was also gumbo. The meal was pretty good by buffet and nola standards. The desserts included bananas Foster and bread putting. There was a 30 minute tour broadcast about the Mississippi, local companies doing shipping etc. that started when the ship sailed. Later, a Dixieland band played And they were excellent.

Delighted that you enjoyed your dinner cruise with us. The river and port have stories of their own. The Dukes of Dixieland are a Grammy nominated band and enjoy treating our guests to New Orleans music.

This is my first time going on this boat. Not a lot of selection for the foods but it is pretty good. I enjoyed the dessert “banana foster with ice cream” . Everything else seems to be very nice and mellow.

The music and tour were great! But we had some people that drank too much before the tour, that were sitting behind us. They were very obnoxious and we couldn't hear over them a lot of the time. Maybe try to monitor that more?
