Great food
Rob_B, May 2023
Great food!!
The cruise was pleasant and the food was great! Wish the cruise was a bit longer since it took so long to eat. We had a window seat so we were very grateful for the view while we ate.
Nice Relaxing Cruise
Tiffany_M, May 2023
Super friendly staff! We loved Ms. Gina! The buffet was decent. The drinks were okay. Our waitress was friendly but not super attentive. When we first got there we asked for a quick minute to make our drink decisions but she never returned to take our drink order.
The cruise was nice, informative and plenty of seats on deck. Nice relaxing experience
never do it again never recommend it

Wow - thanks for covering so much.
Natchez Steamboat experience
Chiquitta_M, May 2023
It's ok for family and senior citizens, if your looking for a more upbeat experience do the other cruise. Only reason we did this one is because the other boat wasn't operating.
Response from Host, May 2023
The riverboat sightseeing cruises are much the same, in keeping with riverboat heritage. It is not a nightclub atmosphere, which some people might be looking for on a boat.
Great experience
Liza_S, May 2023
Great experience sharing with mom and sisters on Mothers day! I would recommend to others especially guest to the city!
Response from Host, May 2023
Brunch is a joyous event on Sunday mornings throughout the year. So anyone who missed Mothers Day can enjoy a similar event on other Sundays - But it sells out quickly
Great time
Liza_S, May 2023
Very good experience. Great good and a smooth ride. Would recommend to anyone who may be interested in doing something different in the city.
Response from Host, May 2023
Liza, it is an unique experience and we encourage guests to read your review.
Brunch or sight seeing
Gayle_S, May 2023
Be careful when booking. We thought we got the brunch cruise but it was only sight seeing and by the time we realized it, the brunch cruise was sold out.
Response from Host, May 2023
When booking on any of the sites that offer our products it is wise to double check on food or no food.
