Great food, great relaxing music. Wonderful and helpful crew. It was a great way to end a delightful day in Nee Orleans and enjoy the Mississippi.

Rick_D

My experience was average. The food wasn't good for New Orleans style. I feel like the culinary experienced can be improved. Also, the band didn't not have an energetic experience.

Yvonne_S

Leo was a great server, the gentleman that runs the chair lift was so nice. It was a pleasure to know that the natives of Nola are really nice people. It's a shame that tourists like myself make this great city to be displeased due to their ignorance. Great time with my sisters on this cruise.

Sheila_G

We had a good time, didn't buy the buffet, but the a la carte menu, and it was good enough. Music was good and weather was beautiful, gorgeous sunset. It was a bit too long for me as we got there at 6 to get good seats by band. We were ready to return, but still had an hour left.

AMStLaurent

We did the cruise plus dinner option. The buffet has all the local favorites. Stake out a spot up top early to get a seat to here the band.

We had a great time on the Creole Queen! The dinner was excellent and the service was also. The music from the live band was a relaxing backdrop to the cruise on the Mississippi River.

The boarding was easy, I have to say everyone was so nice. We walked around and then made our way downstairs for some food. It was all very good food, hot and a ton available. The staff kept water full and there is a cash bar, the waitresses were delightful. The boat is clean and comfortable. The restrooms were nicer than I expected for an older boat. The jazz band was also great. It was so relaxing!

Rodnell_W

My family and I had a great experience on the Creole Queen. We enjoyed the dinner, the jazz band and the scenic cruise on the Mississippi. We recommend to any family visiting NOLA.
