The Subday Brunch Jazz Cruise was definitely worth it. The music was fun and upbeat. The guide explained the various attractions while cruising down the Mississippi River. However, the brunch buffet was AMAZING!! I would do it again, just for the brunch experience. The service was exceptional. My server was Milton; he was awesome. I tipped him well, and I told him how fabulous his personality is. They seat you, then start you out with gumbo. It was very hot and good. My favorites were the biscuits, sausage, grits, shrimp, and PLEASE send me some of that Creole Creamed Spinach!! The food was delicious. Definitely worth it.

We ended up having to take the City of New Orleans Steamboat instead of Natchez due to maintenance. With that being said, it was a great lunch cruise. The food was excellent! The narration while heading out was very informative on some of the history of properties, businesses, neighborhoods, etc. along the shoreline. The band music on the way back was exciting and relaxing.

Apparently the Steamboat Natchez had some technical issues and we were ushered to Creole Queen. Initially there were some confusion amongst the staff arguleby a bit frustrating but it worked out. The food was good with options to eat as much as you like, however dessert was bad! The weather prevented going on the deck. Overall a good experience
