New Orleans for foodies

Had a wonderful time on the City of New Orleans Riverboat cruise. We did the lunch cruise and the food was delicious. Mrs. Iris B in the dining room was super helpful. She made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our lunch. The cruise price was very reasonable considering it included lunch also. Would take this cruise again. Had fun spending quality time with my sisters!

The music, history, and the laid back vibe. The accessibility to tour the engine room with the staff eager to answer our mechanical questions was amazing. Feeling the breeze in our faces on the bow, and the gentle spray from the paddle wheel at the back was such a wonderful experience.

We had a fantastic time. Our son plays in the high school jazz band and really enjoyed listening to the live music. The food was great at lunch, especially the bread pudding (5 stars itself)! I could have sat and listened to the paddle wheel for the whole trip it was so relaxing. Aside from the rain it was a perfect steamboat cruise.

The lunch was tasty and hot (I hate food served cold). The tour narrator over the loud-speaker was clear and understandable. There was plenty of seating for all, and the upper deck was open, but a canvas covering protected from the sun. However, we found a table and chairs at the rear of the boat, with a good view and out of the wind. The Jazz Band was great, but didn't play as long as I would have liked. The attached pic gives you and idea of the view from where we sat.
