Sail Date: Jun 2014

There are those of us who long for the romance of travel in a bygone era. We were born too late. We search for the opportunity of riding the rails behind a true steam engine in passenger cars from over 100 years ago. And there are those of us who desire traveling the heartland of America's rivers on a steam driven riverboat.

But wait! We were not born too late. Relive the adventure of paddle wheel travel on board the American Queen.

We just finished breakfast on the front porch of this boat, watching it sail from Memphis, TN. We are on our way up the Ohio RIver with Cincinatti as our destination.

Cabin Review

Our cabin appears on the Texas Deck with two doors that open up onto a verandah. The stateroom has a queen size bed, a plush chair, desk as well as drawers in front of a vanity mirror and closet space. A full bathroom is included. The room is cleaned every day by a lady who is very pleasant to talk to. We are two doors away from the front porch with seating under roof. The front porch also has an enclosed dining area where buffet meals are offered as an alternative to meals in the posh dining room.
