Review summary

You would think a cruise in that geographic area would have information on slavery. The closest it came was the Civil Rights Museum.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward (Zo) brought me cough drops when I said I was not feeling well. Marie, our waiter for breakfast and lunch, knew where we liked to sit. We were a group of six, and in the whole upstairs restaurant there was only one six-top.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
there was a noise constantly, and some vibration. We mentioned it to the front desk, and they said there shouldn't be any noise like that because the engines were not in that area. We invited him to hear for himself, but he never came.

Ship tip

make sure you can walk uphill. Those levees are high! The golf carts were helpful for those with walkers, etc.

ROSEDALE, MISSISSIPPI Did not visit port

We never saw the town. We were never told that getting from Rosedale to Memphis was a four+ hour bus ride.

Memphis, Tennessee

3 out of 5
we were on our own except for a bus tour that could have been half the length.
