Reviews for Riverboat CITY of NEW ORLEANS in New Orleans, LA
This review is specific to the fabulous work crew. Everyone is so nice, approachable and helpful. My fried and I purchased the... lunch with our ticket however we are both vegetarians and there were no veggie options. The Manager Tran Bach went out of ourway to make it right and better for us! She?s truly an asset to her employer, she?s fabulous! Read more
The wife and I participated in the VIP package for this event. It didn't disappoint! Gina was our hostess and she was nothing... short of fabulous. No joke! We got to spend time with Captain Steve who gave us a brief tour of the boat. The food and drinkswere absolutely on point. We can't wait to go back! Read more
Really great cruise and dinner. Weather was perfect late afternoon. The dinner was actually the best tasting food I?ve ever had... in Nola and I?ve been coming for 30 plus years. My friends said the same thing. The bread pudding and bananas foster ice cream?wow just credible Read more
My family and I LOVE riding on the River boat cruises! We always recommend getting the lunch/dinner included. Even though it... costs a little more it is well worth it! Even for the kids. We are by far waiting for the Natchez to return back to the waterafter her much needed remodel is completed. However, The City of New Orleans does not disappoint. My ONLY downfall is the timeallowed for eating. It is an "all you can eat" but you will only have no more than 45 minutes to eat everything you can. I justdont think that is enough time for a family of 4 or more to eat ALL you can. And also, the alcoholic drink prices are VERYexpensive. River boats are TRULY the most expensive places to drink in the city. We limit ourselves to 1 drink per person.Average cost will be $7.00-$18.00 for each drink. But it is and has always been a great experience! Read more
I really enjoyed our lunch jazz cruise on the Steamboat Natchez. Although the food definitely needed a lot of work. They claim... there is a buffet, but they just serve every person the same exact meal! Not good because I couldn?t eat much of what they gaveme because everything was kinda spicy. The band was great but there was never any room where they played. Do the cruise withoutthe food option, you will be happy you did Read more
Wonderful time and our server was the best ever! Did we great atmosphere was fun and the city light views were beautiful.
We purchased the Jazz Brunch Cruise a week in advance and didn?t think we had chance, but the staff member was kind enough to... tell us ?everyone makes mistakes.? All aboard! The tour guide was pretty interesting and the view of the city skyline was asight to behold. I enjoyed the dining area, but the food wasn?t very tasteful. For the price I feel we could of gotten a littlemore bang for our buck. The server was very kind but seemed a bit overwhelmed, due to having to bus her own tables. Thus,slowing down brunch, main reason I bring that up is before you knew it we were headed back to port. I would of enjoyed more timeon deck seeing the sights and learning about the history of this great town. Hopefully my feed back helps improve the next guestexperience and makes it a 5 star experience for someone else. Worth a shot if you haven?t had the experience before. Got to lovesupporting small business, the blood line of America. Read more
Had a very relaxing cruise on the City of New Orleans riverboat. Loved the nostalgia, the band was great and the buffet dinner... was also very good, loved the bananas foster ice cream for dessert. Our server, Melanie, was very attentive and adeptlyanticipated our needs and was incredibly pleasant to talk to. My family and I enjoyed our celebration cruise immensely. It was abit cold but there was plenty of room inside to stay warm when we needed. When booking dinner know that the boat stays dockeduntil 7pm so if you want to have dinner while underway, choose the later dinner options. The NOLA skyline was beautiful atnighttime. Highly recommend doing this at least once. You won?t be disappointed. Read more
