Jazz, Excellent Buffet and great narration of the river and city. - I was impressed with the quality of the food on the buffet and the service was excellent. The pre trip boarding was entertaining with the music from the calliope welcoming us on board.

Jazz Brunch Cruise - This was a great family experience. We did the jazz brunch cruise, the food was very good and they had a lot of different options. The tour guide gave a lot of interesting information about the sites along the river. We were also able to go in the engine room and see how the boat worked. The steam music that they played while we were waiting to board was very unique, and of course we enjoyed the jazz band on the way back to the port.
