10+ Cruises • Age 80s
Our first problem was after we signed up, we could no longer see the itinerary online. I was told to look at a different date and use that itinerary. After we filled in the online information form and submitted it we could no longer see what we submitted. We were sent a thank you e-mail and told that they would notify us if they needed any more information. About two weeks before sailing I called ...

We had a wonderful cruise this spring on the Empress in Washington and Oregon, and were excited to rejoin American Queen in Toronto. Unfortunately, the Toronto to Chicago cruise disappointed us in so many ways.
The pre-cruise hotel check-in was chaos. There was only one person there who seemed to know what was required, and he turned away many people who had not brought the proper documents ...

Review for Ocean Navigator to U.S.A.

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
Having taken three previous cruises with American Queen (Upper Mississippi, Nashville to Memphis, and the Columbia River) my wife and I were expecting the same excellent cruise experience on the Ocean Navigator cruise from Chicago to Chicago (June 4-19) which we just completed. We received just the opposite. Had this been our first voyage with American Queen lines, we would not even consider ...

water kid
6-10 Cruises • Age 60s
The boat was period décor throughout. Having a little balcony was relaxing. I was on a Road Scholar booked trip so excursions were included and well arranged. Learning about the hardships of the Discovery Expedition, it was surprising that the trip was completed.
The food in the main dining room was sumptuous with a variety of choices. I personally opted for the River Grill. It was more ...

Review for Ocean Victory to U.S.A.

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s
Hmmm, hard to know where to begin.
Embarkation was 2 hours late, we were told a mishap on the locks leading into Lake Ontario caused the ship to be delayed. Okay, I'll buy that one.
The ship was 2 hours late going through the Welland Canal, and then another half hour delayed due to a medical issue with an elderly passenger. The Captain insisted on leaving Port Colborne on time, even though ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
Warning: This may be long and a bit rambling, but there are many good things to say about this cruise.
DH and I are in our 70's. This was our fourteenth cruise overall, but our first river cruise. Way back in February 2020, we booked a cruise from Memphis to New Orleans on the American Queen. After 4 cancellations, 3 due to COVID and 1 due to Hurricane Ida, we said forget it. AQV gave us ...

roamgeorgia
10+ Cruises • Age 70s
Staff worked very hard to please the guests. The crew continually displayed great enthusiasm and many wore more than one hat--and wore them well. Cabin was comfortable. Dining room food was very good for the most part with enough variety for a week on board. Excursions were somewhat limited due to inclement weather and location. Talented musical entertainers. Our first river cruise after ...

Hamlet cruiser
10+ Cruises • Age 70s
I have emailed, left a note on the website, spoken to escalated customer service rep and requested a call from Mr Waggoner to discuss the MAJOR problems on the cruise. Staff on board were wonderful but woefully understaffed. Dining room normally has 16 servers-only six! Food ALWAYS cold-soups always tepid at best.
One stop (can’t call it a port) not planned, had NO services! We needed ...

AliWood
6-10 Cruises • Age 60s
This cruise was booked in 2019 for sailing in 2020, but eventually we did it in April 2022. New Orleans to Memphis.
Check in at the Hilton Riverside the day before, plus Covid test, was straightforward. We did not stay at the Hilton, but on departure day made our way to the Hilton by cab. We had booked the pre-cruise excursion, which was excellent. Amusing and informative guide for a 4 hour ...
