Sail Date: Jul 2012
Traveled with children

We sailed from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati on July 18-22, 2012. I had sailed on the AQ when she was owned by Majestic America so I was very excited to see what changes had taken place. The food is SO MUCH BETTER than it was before, happily the decor has stayed the same and it's the same great service. Our cabin Stewardess had worked on the Delta Queen and Mississippi Queen before coming to the AQ. She really knew what she was doing and took great care of us. Many of the staff had worked on the other vessels and had the experience needed to work on a ship like the AQ.

FOOD:

We ate specifically in the main dining room for breakfast & dinner every day, utilizing the Front Porch of America for lunch. Bananas Foster Stuffed French Toast daily for breakfast along with many buffet offerings in the main dining room! Lunch offered roast turkey or brisket sandwiches (carved on the spot), along with salads and hot dogs. The Front porch has popcorn every day and ice cream available around the clock, not just for a few hours like most cruise lines. My husband was very happy to find that out and enjoyed the ice cream daily. I am allergic to seafood and I found the dinner menu diverse enough that I never worried about what I was ordering. There was a seafood free option as well as a vegetarian option each day.

Cabin Review

Cabin A

Spacious room, right by paddle wheel. Expect some vibration and noise. It put us to sleep but some people may find it annoying.
