Terrific cruise of “COMPLETE MISSISSIPPI” – August 4th thru 26th
From New Orleans to Saint Paul MN (8 states in 22 days; 21 nights) on the paddle wheeler (fake) “America” operated by American Cruise Lines (ACL); launched in 2016; has 185 passenger capacity but we had only 137 passengers on board.
The Cruise Critic's professional review (https://www.cruisecritic.com/reviews/review.cfm?ShipID=1182 ) was spot on but I would add my observations and opinions:
Cabin was best that we had on a river cruise – spacious, easy to control temperature, quiet, bright, with lots of storage drawers and a small but adequate closet. Bathroom is “cozy” but well-lit and well-ventilated with adequate storage and a nice shower with instant hot water. Had night lights, DVD player but no safe or refrigerator (small one would be provided for "meds". TV was great - GPS channel to follow ship location and significant ashore features and both ESPN and CNN channels with about a dozen other channels
