Cruise into a brilliant and romantic sunset aboard the Paddlewheeler Creole Queen! Underneath enchanting skyline views enjoy the lively sounds from Sullivan Dabney, Jr. and the Muzik Jazz band while delighting your taste buds with a deliciously prepared Creole-styled meal (if option is chosen). Grab one or two classic New Orleans cocktails inside at the bar, then take a stroll outside along elegantly designed wrought iron trimmed railings for a night full of stars and warm banter. Become part of the city's unique energy and let the sweet Mississippi River breeze sweep you off your senses onto the dance floor atop our promenade deck for a night full of pure New Orleans magic.

The staff is fabulous, the jazz trio was talented, but the dining area was rather shabby and the venue should be embarrassed by the buffet.

The food was outstanding, totally worth it. Band was really fun and interactive with the audience. The views were amazing and weather cooperated well enough to spend some time on the outer decks.

The food was good and our server was very attentive. The city lights were pretty at night and the boat wasn't crowded.

Great customer service, good food, we loved the music, it was a perfect length of time, and the view was wonderful. We had our 7 young children with us.

I did not get a chance to go. We were walking to the boat by 6:58p and the dock hand was lifting up the bridge. By the time we got to the gate it was exactly 7:00p. What was odd, the dock hand says when we arrived, “I saw you all walking toward the boat.” While if he saws walking then why not wait. The traffic in NOLA was horrible due to a Saints game scheduled on Sunday. All was out of our control and we got NO REFUND. This would have been on my 2nd time on the Creole Queen. We will not be going ever again.
