We just returned from this cruise. We paid to have the lunch that is mentioned in the information. I wish I’d realised that there was the option of a snack area where you could buy hot dogs etc as the meal was way too much for me to eat. The information provided during the cruise was very interesting and thankfully even though lots of people were chatting, we were still able to hear what was said. I would do this cruise again probably without the meal. Be aware that there are lots of stairs on this boat and because of its age there is no elevator. Still able to move around on the lower deck.

Totally enjoyed this tour. It was relaxing and informative. I like that the first half was narrative and second half listening to the jazz music. We did not include the lunch package however there were drinks and food available to buy. Would donthis again.

Nice calm cool cruise. Plenty of seating outside. Good narration of sights. Only complaint: the food wasn't as good as what we had on previous trip. Not bad, but not New Orleans great.
