    We went on a very nice day. It was better than I expected. 100/10. Narrator was loud and clear. Also live jazz music on the cruise. Ticket will have to be printed out at the kiosk even you bought online. Ticket will say come 30 min before boarding but you should come 45 min before because of the seats on the cruise. Overall, I was so happy with the service.

    Cruise was very informative and enjoyable. Lunch was just ok and even though I reserved second seating we were bumped to first seating which didn’t work for us since we ate breakfast and we were not informed until I noticed the printed tickets you get just before boarding. Would take just the cruise and skip lunch since there are many choices to buy once on board

    The tour was excellent. Very informative and the guide was very knowledgeable! Thoroughly enjoyed it and it provided a ton of information about areas of New Orleans aside from the French Quarter we will be able to explore on our next visit to this beautiful city.
