The steamboat was amazing. First time on a steamboat. The jazz music was great as well as the dinner. The captain was very funny and all of the people who worked were very pleasant .the tickets price was really good. The trip about an 2 hours.. The cruise was sold out alot of people. A nice dinner with Jazz for our anniversary.
