Our introduction to our trip was great! We brought our cousins from Cincinnati aboard for lunch. We realized that we were just below the Begals stadium and the Red Sox stadium! As we departed, then our trip on the Ohio river began! Our stateroom was the largest we have ever had, with enough room for more clothes than we brought with us. We loved the balcony, as we could open our side and join our friends in the next room. The four of us enjoyed having breakfast on the balcony one morning as we sailed down the Ohio and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and breeze.

The tours planned by American Cruise Lines were great. We enjoyed the historic town of Maysville, Ky, even though I grew up 40 miles from there. We learned a lot about the town we didn't know. The old homes are beautiful, and the Miniature Museum was fascinating.

Portsmouth, Oh was a neat town with lots of history. The murals on the flood walls are exceptional. Our tour guide was very knowlegable about the history of the area. Then on to Gallipolis, OH where the shops were very interesting. The townspeople in all of the ports were exceptionally friendly! When we arrived in Wheeling, WV, we were surprised at the size of the town. For years we had driven around it on the Interstate, never stopping to really see the town. The tour was quite interesting, court house where the state government was decided upon. All of the ports were clean, accessible, and had friendly people around the area. Read more
