Paddlewheeler Creole Queen

Last day in New Orleans before going back across the country and last second they canceled the historic cruise do to “generated issues”

Must do this tour if you love the feeling of music and water all around you. The boat was extremely comfortable . The Jazz band was super. Great band players and they had excellent play list. The Jazz Cruise was memorable with beautiful sights all around. Great one to have with ur family and friends

Charles the narrator made it great..his sense of humor and narration skills were the best.He made us feel like we were experiencing everything

My mom and I enjoyed the Sunday brunch and jazz cruise. It was old and clean - the biscuits were amazing! The service is very friendly and gave us the opportunity to rest and enjoy the view of Jackson Square and some awesome sights on the Mississippi. Definitely recommend trying the bread pudding. Bring cash to tip your server and get the souvenir photos!

Not Impressed. I hate to do this but…
They should have paid “me” to board this tour!
Very boring. I am literally typing this on the last leg of the tour, trying desperately to stay awake! If you have insomnia, you’ll love this tour!
In addition, the riverboat is in dire need of maintenance and paint. Worst tour I’ve ever paid for, as far as the boat trip itself is concerned. Nothing really interesting. I hope if you decide to go that it’s not hot and humid, or you may want to jump overboard to escape the heat and the boring tour.
Caveat: the tour guide, Charles, telling stories and pointing things out… he was VERY VERY good. That was the only redeeming quality of the tour.
“YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED”

Dr Laura was absolutely excellent, knowledgeable, honest, funny, and worth the ride just to listen to her

Staff (matre d in particular) on the jazz cruise were rude, disrespectful and demanding, would not recommended them to anyone!!!! Food was average, band was great!!!

My husband & I were looking for a spare of the moment getaway/reset & thought we’d try the Creole Queen. It left us with a better experience than we could’ve imagined! The beautiful evening scenery & weather was one for the books but the best part was the front row seating where we experienced a full Jazz Band including Kris from the Squirrel Nut Zippers and other amazingly gifted artist, a dance floor to really let loose, delicious cocktails from an amazing bartender at the open cash bar and hot & fresh diner - all in one! What a beautiful getaway & reset it was! It’s so easy to book, we’ll definitely be taking another cruise!

Horrible Experience! Tried to cancel my reservation, called many times to get somebody on the phone, get the cancellation confirm email, but NO MONEY BACK on my visa! After 3 weeks of waiting, called again to check the return status....and they were not sure on why the return process has not been complete. The Customer Service rep attitude was terrible - even shut off the phone when i tried to understand what was happened! NEVER AGAIN!

The experience was great. Sailing on the Mississippi was epic. The jazz band was great. Dinner wax OK. The Gumbo was blah, the drinks had almost no alcohol in them. The brisket was great though. Service was good as well. The bathrooms need a good deep cleaning.

Charles description of what the city has been through is extraordinary. Great tour and very good food.

Enjoyed the narrated historical experience, particularly the information shared about Hurricane Katrina.

Booked for the ride with dinner included. When, I was done with dinner, all the few seats available in front of the jazz group were taken by the ones who purchased tickets with no dinner.
In addition, the seats in the side were wet. I asked a staff to help me. He said to find paper and clean it myself.
If smokers are allowed, they should have a designated area not all around the boat.
The music was just average.
I would not recommend it

The cruise was a great addition to our trip, great value for the price with delicious food, live jazz band and great service!

Don’t waist your money. We booked a Halloween party cruise. It was raining g prior to
Boarding time and they did t care enough to let us board early. We all got soaked from downpours. Then we come on board with fans blowing. Asked if they could turn them off because we are soaked, they didn’t. Buffet was not great. They ran out of chicken and had lots of pasta and rice but little of anything else but hot dogs. Hardly no Halloween decorations. They are not even playing Halloween music. For $198 for two people which included the boat ride, poor buffet and two non alcoholic drinks each at $22 per person, I feel this was a rip off.
