Cruising on the Mississippi

My wife and I are planning a week-long cruise on either the lower or upper Mississippi this October. American Queen appears as our first choice. I have a few questions.

1) What age group primarily frequents this type of cruise? We are seniors.

2) Is the lower or upper more interesting?

3) Some people say it is boring; some that is fascinating.

Anybody got any tips?

My in-laws took the Delta Queen several years ago. In their early 70s, they felt ';young'; on the ship. They did enjoy it, however, although the pace may be a bit slow for some.

Maybe that%26#39;s where the ';boring'; aspect comes in. Thanks for your quick response. I%26#39;ve got to explore this even further.
