Went on Viking Mississippi recently. At 56 yo, we were the youngest travelers which did not surprise me. The ship was beautiful and the food was excellent. Service in the restaurant was hit or miss. A couple nights it was very slow waiting for our food but we had great views of the river and plenty of wine so hard to complain. The cappuccino machines malfunctioned frequently but made wonderful ...
Cruised on the Mississippi River, started in New Orleans and ended in Memphis. The cruise itself was great, no complaints and enjoyed cruising with predominately an older, more mature crowd. Ship is not recommended for someone traveling with small children or teenagers. Food was excellent and crew was very accommodating for my Celiac food allergy. Menu in the fine dining was clearly marked for ...

Just came back from our first river cruise aboard the "American Queen" on the Lower Mississippi..
Pros:
Fantastic staff and fellow cruisers.
Better quality food than say Carnival
All inclusive
Laid back and comfortable atmosphere.
All American speaking crew is a BIG plus as it limits communication issues.
Great Bang for the Buck!
Cons:
Boat could use better maintenance ...

We wanted to cruise in the U S and had cruise credits from a previously booked Viking cruise to utilize. From the onset the Viking support was a disaster. Upon arrival at the airport we were not greeted by a Viking representative and had no idea where we were to go, a problem also experienced by a number of fellow passengers. To make a long story short, we did not check luggage and therefore did ...
I love American Cruise Lines. I took the Columbia and Snake River cruise and had an incredible trip. I keep going back on the cruise line, because I have never found any cruise I like better. The crew is so wonderful- anything you want they take care of. The excursions give you the perfect way to see the area- this time in Washington and Oregon. The ship is so clean- I often saw people ...
We started cruising with ACL last year on the American Revolution cruise out of Baltimore. We love the way you are treated with so much respect and dignity. The room, the staff, the entertainment have been phenomenal. The food is really good. ( We always gain a few pounds on each cruise) The Serenade is a beautiful ship. Love the outdoor space for relaxation. I really cannot name just a few of the ...
Spouse and I are frequent Viking cruisers. I chose this Upper Mississippi River cruise over American Queen because 1)I did not want to cruise on a paddleboat, and 2) from experience, I knew what I'd get with Viking whereas American Queen was an unknown factor in my mind. I cruised the Mississippi River with daughter. We were in awe at the River's beauty. Weather was perfect; mid 80s with low ...

Actually from Minneapolis to St Louis July 23 to July 31. Beautifully elegant steamboat reminiscent of Mark Twain’s era with wonderful dedicated staff. The food and service were super. The entertainment was fun and the musicians were enjoyable. The tours were well planned and very interesting. Our suite was kept immaculate. This is not an inexpensive adventure!
My wife and I have traveled ...

This was our 9th cruise with American Cruise Lines. Every cruise has been what we desired or wanted it to be. We like ACL for our lifestyle and travel goals. Why? 1. Because we wanted to travel the USA-we liked the European trips but wanted to know this nation more fully. 2, Fantastic crew members from wait staff to Captain. 3. Quite nice staterooms-quiet and well maintained. 4. Enjoyable dining ...
I loved this cruise! I've taken several cruises on American Cruise Lines and I always enjoy them so much! I am so impressed by the crew on these boats. Everyone is so cheerful and happy to do anything you ask. The staff in the dining room is amazing, as is the food. If I ask for anything special or different there is nothing they won't do for you. I wanted sugar free desserts, which weren't on ...
