Sail Date: Sep 2012

We have sailed on the American Queen the first year she was built. She was really beautiful then. However, there were problems with service of food. The food was always only fair and often re-served in the midnight meal or the captain's reception. In her first year, the porch only had sandwiches and ice cream during the afternoon.

Through the difficulties of the Delta Queen and the Mississippi Queen, which we sailed on many times, it was clear that the ship line was not going to make it.

When we learned that the AQ was sailing again, we decided we had to go again. We went in Sept. from Louisville, KY to St.Louis, MO. The dining was miserable. Our table never got bread served, never got water served, the free wine was a joke, and dessert was never offered and finally time ran out and the dining room had to clear for the second seating. This was every night. The food was not even fair. It was awful.

Cabin Review

two recent sailings on AQ has shown us how she has deteriorated greatly from when we were first on her in her first year out. No one is taking care of her.
