American Queen Steamboat Decks 5 and 6

Deck 5 forward is a private balcony. You can walk the remainder of the deck, but not the front. Deck 5 Aft is a bar and the location of the keyboard for the Calliope which can you watch them play as you depart a port.  You can even play it yourself on some days

A 1/2 flight of stairs up is the pool deck and the workout room (one bike, one elliptical machine, one treadmill and some free weights). Quite a few people use the workout room at all different times of the day. We have also seen people in the pool regularly. Mom even swam 20 laps the other day.

Deck 6 is the top deck and has some covered seating. We were there on day 1 during castoff and the steamboat race – the calliope is loud on deck 6. We were also fortunate to get a pilot house tour – it was pretty neat to see how the pilot determines our course and how they communicate with the engine room. This boat is a mixture of new technology and manual systems.

  1. I don’t think that is the same ship I am scheduled for. I think mine only has four decks. I am very sure it is something I would enjoy. Niche of you to try it out first.
