Traveler reviews
Creole Queen Trip
Be there early and get on board, to enjoy the music and beverages prior to sailing. The sailing was fabulous and a great view of New Orleans especially with the sunset and later a full orange moon. The food was good and plenty of it. A very relaxing enjoyable, romantic scenario.
Dinner not worth it, but lovely night
The band was beautiful, and the experience of the river on a paddle wheeler is straight out of princess and the frog, iconic and lovely, however the dinner package is not worth the extra money, three options of food in the buffet and not even juice or a soda is included and drinks were soooo expensive.
Relaxing and enjoyable
Relaxing cruise along the river. The food was great and the staff was amazing. We enjoyed the music and seeing the city from the water.
Great experience needs some warmers on the food
It was a lovely experience especially on the 7pm sail time. The food was a little cold, especially the brisket. The red beans and rice were really good. The gumbo didnt have enough meat but thr flavor of the roux was there. Our waitress made the best iced tea ever!!! And the drink prices were very decent. We ordered a washington apple that did not disappoint. It was a great experience overall.
Food was meh!
Cruise is as advertised but the buffet leaves something to be desired. Food was just warm and not very flavorful. Also be aware that the menu varies and was not what I expected when I booked it. Otherwise it was a pleasant experience but got a little boring after a while. Probably would not do it again.
