Review summary

Historical Southern living was a great adventure for people of all ages. The Mississippi river was a little low but the ports were always available with a golf cart ready to help those that needed it and a cold water bottle was always offered to each passenger . I have done this one two years in a row and saw more the second time because I knew what to expect. It was great both times with this cruise line. Each days adventure is what you make of it!
