They had a heavy hors d'oeuvre reception before the music started, which was good. Once we started to pull away from the dock, the program with the opera singers kicked off, to hear live music sung on the river boat by professionals was breathtaking. Loving that man of mine and "Old Man River" sung by the opera baritone, brought the house down. What made the musical even better was the narration before each piece? The narrator, provided context and insight to the time period when the musical was written and to the political and historic morays and values people along the Mississippi would've had in that era. After the program from the opera singers, a jazz band started up on the top deck. Riding down the Mississippi listening to jazz was fantastically fun. What I do it again absolutely. If you get a chance consider taking an evening, river cruise with a jazz group on one of the river boats...... you won't be disappointed.

Based on his suggestion I had the seafood pasta. It was quite good. Spicy !!! I loved the spice. It had shrimp and sausage and a great sauce. Hubby got the gator bites appetizer. They were good. Tasted like sausage I thought. He also got the creole sampler. This had jambalaya, crawfish etouffe, red beans and shrimp creole. His favorite was the crawfish. It was a nice sampling of New Orleans style food. Because we had the Living Social deal, we were OK with the price that we paid for the meal. Had we not had it, we thought the prices were on the high side for the food that we received. Wed is also half price bottles of wine. It was a very good meal.

So on the last day of my New Orleans trip, the wifey wanted to do one last thing, she wanted to…read moretake a ghost tour in the French Quarter. So she made a reservation on her phone and we headed out to this shop located on Magazine Street in the French Quarter. This part of the French Quarter was much different than the part I'd been exposed to all trip near Bourbon Street. This part of the French Quarter was more quiet, more abandoned, more local. I was told that this was the part of the French Quarter that is more residential. Anyways back to the tour, it cost about $35 per person and we had a group of 15 people. Our tour was a pub crawl as well as a ghost tour. We met in front of the shop at 730p and our wonderful tour guide took us all through the French Quarter on streets that I had definitely never been to. But what was wonderful was we got to visit locations that were definitely not on the tourist guides or on social media. The tour consisted of the group walking to a bar or interesting landmark and our tour guide would tell us an old ghost story that allegedly occurred at some point in New Orleans history at that location. It was pretty cool. At each stop the group would go into the pub and grab a drink if they wanted to. The tour lasted 90 minutes and ended at one of the most famous bars in New Orleans. I won't spoil it but it was a very cool place. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about New Orleans and it was very interesting seeing New Orleans come alive at night in a way that was much different than Bourbon Street. Highly recommend this tour.

They were out of coffee which was both disappointing and surprising for a hotel restaurant. The server offered to have someone put one together but I thought that would be more than I wanted to pay.

Although I was given the choice to dine in, I was encouraged to leave with to go boxes so the server could bus my table before leaving for the day. Overall an alright experience, just quirky.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the lunch was actually above par for a meal served on a boat. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The fish was cooked perfectly, and the red beans and rice and jambalaya were outstanding. Our server, Iris B., was amazing--attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better. The jazz music was enjoyable, although it was fairly basic. The cruise itself was a nice city tour as we traveled up and down the Mississippi River. Overall, it was a fun and relaxing way to enjoy lunch, some live jazz, and beautiful views of New Orleans from the river.

The van had already picked up a couple then stopped for us and then picked up a family. Our driver Maria was great had a lot of history to share with us on the road. We had the swamp tour first would recommend a light jacket if it's not a super warm day. Our guide on the boat Nick was also great, gave a lot of good in-site , we took a pontoon boat instead of the airboat and they are both good options there was just a small area we couldn't get into bc of the boats size. Lunch is at the dock where you got the boat you are given 30 minutes to eat which is not a lot of time versus the portion size. If you do want to order something to go order it either before you go in the swamp tour if you get there early or right as you walk in for lunch, someone on our group wanted to take food to go and was not able to because there was not enough time. We went to the Whitney plantation that was a self guided tour we had about 2 hours to do this which is doable but don't take too long in any particular area. Whitney soli focuses on slavery. Our guide let us know the Laura focuses on both the family and slavery so that could have been a good option too. The Whitney was very informative and definitely worth it. The car ride really is the longest part of the tour but like I mentioned the driver will point out different interesting things along the way. Most of our group fell asleep on the way back and we all were looking at where to eat right after as you eat around 11:30 and we got back around 4:16.
