The boat was beautiful and the guide told good stories about the Mississippi. The bar tenders were good and the drinks were not watered down. We did not book the lunch because we went to brunch before the boat ride. The food did not look very appetizing so we were happy with our choice.

The cruise was enjoyable. We didn't do the lunch package but we sat on deck the whole time and enjoyed the sun and the history along with a beverage or two. I recommend highly if you want to take a relaxing and old time cruise, enjoy the history and be able to say you were on an original steamboat! The only recommendation I'd make is that maybe a more entertaining tour documentary would be better. The guide was a little monotone and we lost attention after a while. Especially for those of us who aren't having a meal and are on the boat for the history and knowledge of the river.

This was a fun way to experience the river perspective and learn a little bit about the Mississippi River, the Steamboat Natchez, and New Orleans. It was easily accessible for a wheelchair user, with the exception of the bathroom, which was tight with a significant slope. While still w/c accessible, it was easier with canes.
