No, But I've seen it going on the river. I hope she has a great trip.

There is lots of traffic on the river, Taken north of Greenville.

@software. I live in the South too and I agree with you 100%. I can't imagine paying that much for those stops.

@World Traveler Thank you for posting your detailed description of your sister's river cruise. I love reading about other people's adventures!

@itsmagic You are welcome! I love reading posts about where people have gone and the experiences they have had. Never fail to learn about new places to put on my bucket list. And even if it is not a place I would like to go to, I find it interesting to read their comments about what they liked or didn't care for. I learn a lot from our Travel Forum posters.
My sister is back home, but she has not responded to emails about her final thoughts on the river cruise. If she responds with some additional thoughts that may help others decide whether or not they too would like to take a cruise down the Mississippi, I will share them. I definitely want to take the cruise based upon her comments, but am still wanting to wait to do that until a time when I no longer want to handle the long flights going to other countries.

Okay, finally heard back from sister, who got home from the River cruise. When I asked her review of the entire trip, this is what she said. Hope her final comments are helpful.
I enjoyed the trip and glad I booked it. I wouldn't go to the same place again, but found it very interesting. The cost was high, but that was partly my choice by getting a single room with a veranda. If I would take another Paddle/steam boat trip I would ask for the same room. It was in the middle of the boat, close to everything. The boat was really nice, 5 floors, rooms were good size, larger than on a big cruise ship.

Thanks for the informative thread @World Traveler
Although this is something I would not like to do, it's great to find that out as well (all information is good information so we can make informed decisions). 😀
I am glad your sister enjoyed her trip!
