Review the Steamboat Natchez jazz cruise in New Orleans, with Mississippi views, live Dixieland music, buffet dinner, costs, and practical tips.

“The Dinner cruise was great, however we got charged extra 157.95 parking fee when we returned to our vehicle. We were in New Orleans early, we purchased a 5 hr parking ticket at the kiosk, before the cruise we purchased 2 more hours of parking to assure it covered when we would return at 9pm.

When we returned to our car, it was locked…”
