2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2012 NEW

The day we arrived there seemed to be some troubles going on with the staff and their pay checks. Check-in was chaotic and quite unorganized. The room and bathroom were very small, as to be expected on a boat. Do not choose valet parking because parking is free on the street in front from 4pm till 9am. Breakfast should have... More

The premise of the boat is awesome. So enjoyed the Tennessee River. The website is nothing as it appears. We went into the bar at 10:00 and was told they were closed. Website said 11:00. The food was lacking. Get new management for this beautiful venue!!!!! More

You will feel like you've been transported back in time. Yes, the rooms are compact but we spent little time in the room. The Delta Queen was built during an era when folks actually socialized with each other. The entire staff onboard were gracious and accommodating of any request. The breakfast buffet provided an abundant and delicious selection of food.... More

We stayed May 10th and 11th, 2012 and just loved the historic aspect of The Delta Queen. Staff was very cordial and helpful. Meals were just fine, and we have a variety of food limitations. We were excited that we got the cabin that Jimmy Carter and his wife and daughter stayed in while he was President in 1979! We... More

We got a 2night 3day package on LivingSocial several months back. We finally got a chance to go for the weekend. Despite overcast skies and rain we had a nice time. Our Deluxe room on the 3rd deck was nice. Too many forget this was built in 1926 so you can expect the amenities you would find at the Hyatt.... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in January, and yes I'm just now getting around to writing a review. We stayed in a deluxe room on the main floor and didn't experience any of the problems others have mentioned. The only exception would be the hot water at the sink - it got warm but not hot. The shower however... More

Yes, the rooms are small - just like any "cruise" room. But there is plenty of room to spread out in the sitting lounges, the deck rocking chairs, and even the city park where the ship is anchored. I especially enjoyed the close proximity of the Delta Queen to many of the city's attractions. The aquarium and other riverside attractions... More

Having been fortunate to steam on the TN River in her last summer and loving every part of that experience, we were anxious to see how being docked would differ. It was a relief to see that the current staff is very devoted to maintaining the Delta Queen as something special. Of course there are quirks because it is an... More

Thank you for your wonderful rating of 5! It is so nice when guests appreciate the history, the charm, and the ambiance of our 85 year old boat. I agree that the rocking chairs are a big hit with our guests! Also, thanks for your comment about our devoted staff...I will share with our staff! Please come back to see... More

Yes, we definitely have some low ceilings throughout the boat. She is 85 years old, and I understand that people were smaller and shorter in years past. Of course, we cannot make structural changes to the boat, so the ambiance and history have to make up for any other issues. Glad you liked the lobby...it is very beautiful! More

My husband and I went on a LivingSocial voucher and loved it. For all you "NaySayers", remember she is an 85 year old Queen and for her age is in incredible shape and has been cared for well, its quite obvious. We went with trepidation after reading several negative reviews, only to find we did not have a single issue.... More

Thank you for not accepting the negative reviews you recently read. Definitely, the positive comments far outweigh the negative ones. I passed on your comments to Chef Joyce, and she is indeed a superb Chef! The Rice Toscani is delicious, and I'm sure she would share her secrets with you. We hope that you will be back to visit with... More
