We didn’t actually get to be on the Natchez (it was the City of New Orleans) which was a huge bummer for the price. A lot of drunk people which made the end of the trip a bit annoying, but I guess that what we get for going for a Saturday night. The food was really good, all the employees/service was excellent.

Our boat trip was great we had a really good time. The jazz band was amazing. Food was great for a buffet seating everyone for the late dinner service needs to be streamlined a little better. Captain of the boat told good stories about the Mississippi River

The activity in general was very good, the experience is immersive and transports you to that romantic atmosphere of the time, the music was tremendous. The only thing that I would highlight that negatively affected the experience was the dinner, we were in the second round and we did not receive the expected attention from the table staff, no bread basket, we had to request the dreasing of the ensada several times, no They informed us when to come to serve us at the buffet, they did not give us dessert (although we requested it 4 times), in short many details.
