Not on our "To Do" list yet. Perhaps if we run out of more exotic ports of call. Cruised the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers and that was fantastic.

Not only will consider it; have considerd it, and come close to choosing a U.S. river cruise. If New Orleans hadn't been nearly destroyed by a hurricane, we probably would have taken a Mississippi River cruise by now. Among side effects of the hurricane was the takeover of Delta Queen Stemship Co. by Majestic America. We did not like what we've been hearing about Majestic America, even before the grounding of Empress of the North, the astounding 67 CDC score for the same ship, and the recent fire aboard the Queen of the West. The onboard experience apparently is not as good as it was under Delta Queen and the previous owner of the northwest ships.

Nonetheless, Columbia and Mississippi River cruises are on our radar screen, and we have taken a river cruise in Europe.

Got to go with the piano bar... It's usually a great place to interact with the other passengers and the piano player. lots of fun. But, then again, I love piano bars on land, too. Visit them 2-3 times a week.
