- The food and commentary was excellent. Even though it stormed on us, we had such a good time!
- Funny guide with dry humor. If you buy dinner, go hungry because it was all you can eat during the time on the boat. Good for history buffs.
- Charles (guide) was great! Food hostess was the mostest
- The narrator on the Miss Creole sounds like the guy from American Dad. He made the this trip entertaining.
- Great experience! Nice ride and very informative
