(Disclaimer-The worst has happened folks. Now I know that our economy will never recover and the world will become a dark, desolate wasteland.) Since the end of the 19th century, Majestic America has graced the American people with Mississippi Riverboat cruises which epitomize absolutely the height of luxury.
I have for years dreamed of taking one of these glorious 3-4 day cruises, exploring the majesty of the Mississippi and her charming towns from St. Louis, homestead of Tennessee Williams, down to New Orleans, playground of Louis Armstrong. Along the way one is made privy to the ruins of the old south, including antebellum mansions, grand oaks and and an abundance of fried food, all the while relaxing in Victorian staterooms or sultry saloons or casinos aboard one of the fleet of three paddle boat liners.
This was the summer that I was going to start thinking about planning a mass-party-cruise with as many lucky people as possible. With the affordable rates, unbelievable accommodations and romantic ports of call, I really thought that the time of my life was just a phone call and a short drive to the river away. Now I, and so many unfortunate others, will never experience the majesty, and I am left truly heartbroken at this news.For information about saving Majestic America line: http://www.majesticamericaline.com (except for the Delta Queen, which has already been modified into a floating hotel in Chattanooga, TN. Good riddance)
