American Empress May 30 to June 7, 2015
First a little about us. We have sailed on 39 ocean cruises and one European river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest. This is our first riverboat cruise. My husband is a retired Air Force Colonel and I am a tour guide. We are in our mid 50's living in Georgia. I've written this from notes I made each day of our trip and hope it will be helpful to others. Happy to answer any questions.

Cabin Review
Our stateroom #210 was quite charming-a queen bed with night stands on each side. Desk with chair, two other chairs, a double closet with ample hangers and three drawers. Lots of space. A shower only in our bathroom which isn't huge but adequate enough space. We have a balcony with two nice chairs and a nice size table. Will be nice for outdoor dining. Room service is available from 6am to 11 pm with the same lunch and dinner menu from the Astoria dining room available when they are open. We will certainly be having some of our evening meals in our room for convenience and to enjoy the scenery from our balcony. There is a clock radio with a docking station to charge your iPhone. Two outlets in the room and one in the bathroom. Lots of hangers. TV is local network channels out of Los Angeles ??? Surprised by that, but clear reception. WiFi is free but sometimes slow. A Keurig coffee maker with several flavor coffee choices, bottled water replinshed and found everywhere on board at any time, robes, and slippers are nice amenities found in our stateroom.
