It is a fun and pleasant experiece and goid food. Start right on time, we net very friendly and pleasant people.
Fantastic service, good food. My husband and I went for a birthday dinner. The band was amazing and a quintessential New Orleans classic!
The brunch buffet was a good offering - scrambled eggs, sausage, ham, home fried potatoes, shrimp & grits, biscuits and gravy, salad smoked salmon and desserts. The seating was spread out to not feel crowded, the ship stays locked while brunch is being served. After eating, we made our way out to the seating areas on the lower deck to enjoy the breeze and listen to the captain give a wonderful narrative about the sites and historical locations down the Mississippi River. Best staff attendant: Milton! 10/10 Hint: Port side has the best views of the sights described by the Captain.
Nikkie, this review was wonderful. You covered so much of the Sunday Brunch and certianly other guests will appreciate learning all this about the experience.
The cruise was a great experience. The food was incredible. The band kept everything fun and lively. The views were beautiful. It was a really good time.
Families are our favorite groups. Thanks so much to all of you for joining us.
Recommended by the hotel concierge. We took the 1130 brunch cruise. Boarding and underway was on time. Our brunch was at 12 noon. There was plenty of selections on the buffet and food was OK, even better than some restaurants we tried here in New Orleans. Cruise was smooth and boat Return to Port on schedule.
This was such a fun time. You won’t regret booking this experience. You also get a chance to learn a ton of history while having a great time and listening to good music.
What a great review of your cruise with us. Thank you!
A perfect way to rest our feet from walking and sightseeing on foot. The buffet was delicious and very enjoyable in the cool and fancy dining room which was a welcome escape from the humidity and heat. You feel like you are still sightseeing while taking an a couple of hours to recover.
The food was great. The people were great. The trip was great. If you want to be outside to take photos etc. and its summer, it will be hot. Lots of good air-conditioned spaces inside though.
The brunch was well organized and the hostess was great but the food was lukewarm; would have been a lot better if it was hot! Cruise itself was nice and informative
The ride on the Natchez was great AND the brunch was Delicious. So much that We ate too much. Wow it was very,veryGood.Everything and More
