The captain talking about the Katrina hurricane in New Orleans and everything that went with it got more of a history on the hurricane from him then what the news reported

They say 2 hour cruise but it’s a half hour trip to Battle of Orleans site. You are off loaded for an hour then a half hour trip back. The only reason I give it 3 stars is the historical commentary was excellent.
