My husband and I took a trip on the Natchez for dinner. We were given the choice to eat at 7 o'clock or do the later dinner at 8:30. When we booked the trip we were told there would be plenty of food and not to worry about picking the later dinner. Boy were they wrong!! As we and 20 other people were in line to get our food they ran out of ...

Disappointed
By casey, 06/07/08
The brochure led my party to believe that the harbor cruise (no food) was daily. It was not. Only on the weekends, which we would not be available for. The more expensive jazz/dinner cruise was not what we wanted so we were out of luck. The brochure should be rewritten.

Great Time for all!

Enjoyed it, would recommend and would do again. Great trip to take for taking pictures, talking with other people, relaxing and listening to music! I loved how they told you about the different sites to see and you could purchase snacks or gifts on board.

Good Ride
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 05/10/08
W just got back form our first time to New Orleans and felt this was a must do for us, glad we did it, the calliope type music was very loud but it was only played at the beginning and end of the trip. As recomended in the other reviews, we ate lunch before going on the trip, the narration was informative (you go right by where the actual Battle ...

Jazz Luncheon and a Cruise
By TartN Spice, 04/24/08
Part of my package to New Orleans included a Jazz Luncheon on the Natchez. I have to say it is a great way to pass the afternoon and I recommend getting the package of the trip with the meal versus getting food ala carte which is expensive. The ragtime jazz band really gave the cruise a quaint feel. Accessible from near the Riverwalk it is a short ...

You get what you pay for...

The organ on the boat is VERY LOUD and they love to play it non-stop. You're basically getting a little boat ride around on the Mississippi, nothing more, nothing less, and the food is very overpriced.

Learn the good from the South
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 01/03/08
Worth every penny - the Texas bartender is a great local that will fill you with stories and hang out spots on Town. The engine room is so cool but its worth to see the tanks Thelma and Louise.......great for a sunny day - pictures came up so colorfull and a memorable visit. Dont forget to try the Bloody Marry - ask for extra picked okra.

Night Jazz/Dinner cruise.
By mustangchik, 09/11/07
We went in the evening even though we had already eaten, but we enjoyed the jazz music relaxed with a few drinks and had a great time. The daytime cruises looked to be more filled and had an instrument playing that sounded like a wounded flute (you could hear it in town and it was annoying) but the one we went on I found totally enjoyable and highly reccomend it!!

Romantic
By rose c, 06/03/07
My husband and I have been on the steamboat every trip to Nawlins. It is very relaxing. They have a romantic atmosphere. Wonderful for the whole family to enjoy also. The drinks are wonderful also. If they still make them try the "Jollyrancher" drink. It is wonderful. Loved Nawlins in general, I go back every chance I get.
Food was decent, but once sun set, there was nothing to see, and the 'Dukes' were only ok. Would suggest you eat before cruise and to do a day cruise, so as to see some of the local area. After a while, it was ho-hum!
