I’ve been on several boat trips—a barge cruise in France, a Danube River cruise, a sail along the Nile—and always the accommodations have been lovely. Sometimes very lovely. But it took a Mississippi River cruise from Memphis to New Orleans with American Cruise Lines to reach luxurious.
“Stateroom” doesn’t adequately describe the accommodations on the American Symphony that are more like a midsize hotel room. Lots of closet space—check. Flat-screen TV—check. Vases of fresh flowers—check. Private balcony—check. Sumptuous robe—check. It was so comfortable that we almost hated leaving it. But food and excursions beckoned.
