The front of deck 4 is lined with rocking chairs. This is a beautiful place for coffee or simply sit and watch the river go by — however, it is open to the sun and the rain so it is not as popular as the Front Porch.

A river cruise on the American Queen Steamboat is not for everyone. There are 400 passengers on board and most of them are over the age of 60 – I heard someone say that the average age was 73. However, there are some people in their 30s and 40s who were taking a second cruise. Some people enjoyed the free bicycles but it was just too hot for me to even pretend that I was going to give them a try.
History is discussed in every town we visit and during one of the shows, there is a video presentation that reviews some history.
Music / Entertainment
The entertainers are very talented and the costumes are excellent. I have enjoyed every show even if I did not recognize the music.
Sitting on Deck watching the river
A favorite thing to do – read your book or just watch the river and talk to other people sitting near you.
Playing cards / board games
There are 3 inside areas for you to just hang out. They are not crowded but they are used as meeting places – the weather is so hot right now that people are escaping the outside. There are also books and board games available.
People who get bored easily, this is not the vacation for them. Although there is quite a bit to do, there is also lots of down time.
