Creole Queen Dinner Cruise

Another New Olreans highlight, we will have a dinner cruise on the Mississippi River aboard the Creole Queen paddleboat. Food, beverages, music, and site-seeing with old and new friends - a great ending to the USPLTA Annual Meeting. The pier is within walking distance of the Sheraton Hotel and for those who would prefer a ride, we will  have a bus waiting to take you to the pier. Boarding the Creole Queen begins at 6:00 p.m. We have a private space for a reception and buffet dinner in the Creole Room. The paddleboat departs the pier at 7:00 p.m. and the buffet will be available starting at 7:00 p.m. We will return at 9:00 p.m.  You can stroll back to the hotel, head out for more music and entertainment in the French Quarter, or hop on the bus for a quick ride back to the Sheraton Hotel.
