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....
We drove to Jacksonville for the pre cruise hotel and COVID testing and boarded the next day. Cabin was small on deck four and the bathroom had the smallest shower but our attendant was awesome. Due to stormy weather they canceled Canaveral but we saw a launch from sea. Amelia island was also canceled. There were not enough activities on board to keep us entertained. Very boring. Spent 2 ...

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....
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!...
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 ...

Hello Hndbg Qn! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate your kind words and are glad that you enjoyed the room service, dining room food, ports of call, and...
We chose this cruise since it departed from the Jacksonville, FL area as we do not fly (long story), and it is just a few hours driving from our home. We are both 80 and wanted to take a "final" cruise (have over 37 cruises under our belts).
First the good - the service aboard the boat was OUTSTANDING. There were only 57 passengers on a boat built for about 200 - there were almost as many ...

Hi dennis73! Thank you for your review. We are glad that you enjoyed the service and food on board. But, we are disappointed to hear about the missed excursion, and especially the debark...
We’ve traveled on American Queen Steamboat ships in the past and LOVED them! Decided to do a winter getaway on the new boat, Victory 1. Pre-cruise contacts were filled with changing requirements, misinformation and frustration. The name of the boat changed to Ocean Voyager pre-cruise, which added to the confusion. Embarkation port changed and itinerary changed with cancelled ports. Crew and ...

Hello ReppEgspit9! We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food and staff service. We regret to hear about the WiFi and excursions....
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 ...
