My husband and I took the America on the lower Mississippi cruise - from New Orleans to Vicksburg and back. The trip exceeded my expectations, and my expectations were high. The boat is beautiful, impeccably clean, well decorated and spacious. We loved our owners stateroom and private balcony. The dining room is exquisitely appointed as are the lounges.
