Beautiful ride amazing people the jazz was smooth and the drinks were good beautiful scenery and nice people would definitely recommend
Server Mariah was fabulous. There jazz band was also very good. I was surprised at how well the entire experience was.
We had an amazing wedding onboard the Creole Queen. The coordinator, Karen, was amazing to work with from start to finish. My original wedding was planned onboard a different NOLA-based competitor’s ship but they ended up cancelling my wedding, which was extremely stressful at the time, but a blessing in disguise. Karen worked with us and helped us plan an even better wedding event. All of the staff were amazing on the day of, especially our officiant, Captain Brian. The Creole Queen was a fun and unique wedding venue. The food and drinks were delicious and the band onboard who did our second line were awesome!
The food was great, our waitress was kind and helpful. The boat ride along the Mississippi was relaxing and great to sightsee
Music was awesome. Food was plentiful but cold Cruise was disappointing. View was minimal. Sailed 30 minutes upper River and then slows down to do 1.5 hrs back to the same point which we started.
The food wasnt that great too much salt. It is also a lot of stairs which makes you stay in one place instead of enjoying the full boat. The boat is also very old ..for me it wasnt worth the 105.00 per person.. the worest part there is no signage of where to go to and its stuck way behind the outlet mall
Band was great. The food was appalling , I wouldn't feed it to my dog. Definitely not value for money. The boat was great but if you wanted a drink you had to go down 3 floors to get one then they ran out the cold beer i was drinking,
Wonderful trip, well organised, good and plentiful food and fabulous jazz band With great views of sunset, New Orleans and the Mississippi
We did this first, this was hands down the BEST dinner we had on the trip. 100/10. The staff is friendly, the. Views are great, the weather was perfect. We got to see fireworks on the water. Just overall amazing. Everyone should do this. Side note. It’s all the way by itself on the beginning end of the river view shops closer to canal street!
The buffet was substantial, but the best part was the cruise in a lovely night on the river. Beautiful evening with live jazz.
