Customer Reviews
We didn’t buy the dining package for the Steamboat Natchez tour, we just took the two-hour cruise. There’s narration throughout the ride, and I actually found it pretty interesting. We passed by a sugar refinery, and for the first time I learned that it can produce seven million pounds of sugar per day. That was impressive. There are lots of little facts like this along the way. We went on the 2 p.m. cruise, and the lighting was perfect. By the time we got off the boat, the sun was already setting. If you take the evening cruise, you probably won’t be able to see much along the river, though you might get a view of New Orleans at night, I’m not sure how worthwhile that is. Also, if you get cold easily, I strongly recommend booking the dining option, because only dining-package guests can sit indoors. If you plan to sit outside, make sure to dress warmly.
This was a really nice boat ride, I'm did the daytime tour, which I do think would probably be a bit more noisy than that of the night due to a bunch of kids and families running around. Nonetheless, the scenery was beautiful and the narration was great as well. The food was quite yummy and the live band was also exceptional entertainment. I would recommend for a quick activity.
I purchased my tickets online a few days at a time. I chose the riverboat tour only and declined the brunch option. We boarded the vessel with no issues and went to the top deck. There was plenty of seating everywhere and all of the bars were open, ready to serve. As you enter the vessel, a jazz band is playing on the second deck the boat departed probably at 11:30 and went south down the Mississippi river pass Algiers point the narrator tells you the history, geographical points of interest, and landmarks on shore. I felt that the narrator had a very monotone voice. It was not the best choice for a Cruz director as a native of South Louisiana. I do not believe the Cruz director was a local. His pronunciation of all of the cities sounded non-genuine as a local. I felt that he was just reading from a script. When the boat makes a U-turn, the jazz band starts playing again. We went down to a lower level and enjoyed the jazz band and the bar had a selection of Christmas cocktails. I ordered the pimps cup Christmas version and it was phenomenal. The bartenders were delightful and knowledgeable. The boat docked properly at 1:30 and the deep boarding process was very smooth.
