Thought this was an interesting itinerary and a group of 10 friends booked through local travel agent. Spent an extra night in New Orleans and stayed on an extra night in Memphis at the end of the cruise. Understaffing was evident from the time of required PCR testing the night before sailing. I spent an hour in line trying to register. They had only two representatives checking ID and ...

Hello Mffthie! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad that you enjoyed the Peabody Hotel in Memphis and our onboard entertainment. But, we are disappointed to hear about...
We were so excited to try the new ship by American Queen. From the time we arrived to check in for our Covid test, it was so disorganized. It took forever to get through all of the procedures and seemed like personel were not prepared. Our rooms were very nice and we had a great cabin steward named Richard. We had ask for early seating at 5:30 as our party of four had issues with eating late and ...

Hi Large1937! Thank you for your feedback. We are disappointed to hear about the food and staffing problems. We will be sure to pass your feedback along to the crew....
This was our first time on AQV. We chose the Memphis to New Orleans Mississippi cruise.
We stayed at the pre-cruise included hotel, the Sheraton Downtown Memphis, which was a nice hotel directly across from the Trolly station. The trolley costs $2 to ride all day. We took the trolley to Beale Street and enjoyed the afternoon.
Breakfast is included as well, so we had a nice buffet ...

Hello! Thank you for your feedback and kind words. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your time on American Countess. We look forward to welcoming you back aboard!...
First time American Countess cruiser. I am a frequent traveler. Many cruises and adventures. Worst service and attitude from restaurant staff I have ever experienced. Dinner was served cold every night. If you miss lunch no food is available. Do not bother to ask them to replenish Worst experience ever and I have 5 days left. Marketing definitely misrepresented amenities online. Will never return. ...

Hello DAPRiDG! We appreciate the feedback; however, we are disappointed to hear that you did not enjoy your experience aboard American Countess. We will pass your feedback along to the crew....
First time trying a Mississippi River cruise after taking over 12 ocean cruises. The itinerary of Memphis to New Orleans was my main reason for choosing this cruise. Flying into Memphis the cruise included an overnight stay at The Peabody Hotel. Took taxi to airport, cost of $39.50 plus tip seemed high but efficient. The Peabody is a grand lady and was glad to stay there but my room extremely ...

We had talked about a Mississippi River cruise for years, and finally decided to do it. The cruise lived up to our expectations and then some!
The pre-cruise process was a little confusing and disorganized, but we appreciated the Covid testing, knowing everyone onboard had tested negative. The Peabody may be a grand old hotel, but the rooms are small and the bathrooms even smaller. We were ...

Hi MTMeg! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your voyage with us on American Countess. We will pass your feedback along to the vessel. We hope to welcome you back aboard in the future!...
I chose this cruise because a few years ago we went on a American Queen Voyage. It was wonderful. Since it was the same company I thought this would be too. A few days before our voyage they changed our dining time to 7.30. I tried to change it back but they said it was because of the CDC guidelines. (some people did get it changed) They also sent us an email saying that there would be dining in ...
We were really disappointed in this recent December cruise from Nashville to Memphis.
First the many positive things....
The food was really good, ample and varied.
The staff everywhere on the ship were very friendly and helpful, especially the dining room staff.
The ship seemed to be well maintained and clean and safe from the virus.
The evening entertainment was probably above ...

Had experienced two paddlewheel cruises in the past and was ready to go again. The overall experience was poor this time. The worst of which was the dining experience. The staff that "greeted" us at the front desk of the dining room was rude and obviously didn't want to be there. This wasn't just one time, this was the entire cruise! Once seated, the majority of the dining staff was identical ...

Our cruise trip began with a night at the beautiful Historic Davenport hotel in Spokane Oregon. We boarded the American Empress in Lewiston WA. We visited Hells Canyon then Richland, The Dallas, Stevenson, Astoria and disembarked in Vancouver WA. The ship was lovely and food, service and entertainment were good. In each port we found interesting and/or scenic things to see and do - and ...
