I booked this boat tour in New Orleans for my 30th birthday girls trip. The food was great and the staff were amazing. Specifically, the staff member Marlon, he was AMAZING. He was so kind and helpful during our time on the boat. As soon as he knew it was my birthday he went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. He paid special attention to us and made sure we got great pictures throughout the entire boat. He posed us, he hyped us up, he held our coats and purses while we were taking pictures, he came back multiple times to check on us during the night. He was just phenomenal. I wish I could attach the pictures Marlon took of us because he really really did his thing. We love Marlon. He made this experience so memorable and we appreciate him so much!! We wanted to give him a tip before we got off the boat but we couldn't find him. Hopefully, this review gets him a bonus or a raise because he truly truly deserves it. Thank you for making my birthday trip to NOLA amazing, Marlon.

Food was ok, band was meh, cruise had nice view of the city skyline - but 1.5 hours of pretty much nothing to see. Expensive. Take a walking food tour instead, half the cost, great food, and you'll learn tons about NOLA. Overall, dont recommend the paddleboat.

I choose the dinner cruise in December so visibility on the Mississippi River was limited & Captain didn't highlight landmarks. Buffet dinner had a variety & good. Jazz deck needed attention with table set up to creat the mood. Stack & store setting. Should have booked the brunch.

The dinner cruise was great. The Dukes of Dixieland band provided the entertainment and were phenomenal. The various food choices at the buffet offered all the best of New Orleans cuisine.

Food is not good and not enough choices for dessert (pudding so so) The music band should be located in another spot (not at the restroom entrance 😱😱😱)

The food was mediocre at best. Our waiter was not the friendliest but the rest of the staff was great

The riverboat was very nice and everything went smoothly. I really enjoyed the food as well as the views, narrator, and the bar area. I recommend this activity as a must do when visiting New Orleans.

The camera wouldn’t work so we didn’t get our picture right outside of the ship… The gumbo was cold and burnt. The chicken was great and so was the étouffée… The crew was nice but we had to wait for our drink refill…
