I was told by a friend to write this review to help others who may be thinking of this particular cruise.
My husband and I took a late season cruise on the Mississippi with another couple on an American Cruise line Queen of the Mississippi river boat. We went from Memphis to New Orleans in 7 days and it cost $10,800 for the two of us.
First thing we were told was to go to the 2nd floor to “listen to music” and have warm cookies. But the first view of the inside of the boat showed chipped wood on “wainscoting”; there seems to be a lack of maintenance. On the second floor the band was sitting around on chairs with instruments strewn about in a room filled with about 20 or more full sized sofas and about 70 chairs – it looked like a storage area. The chairs and sofas were drab and stained. No cookies were there and the band played one piece and left.
