Creator's Key Takeaways

we've been on 50 cruises it's the most unique Cruise we've ever been on I think the most um fascinating from a historical perspective

it's the most American thing I think we've ever done the Mississippi am I allowed to call it the Deep South because to us Brits that that to us is the Deep South

the American Queen uses a hop-on hop-off bus system and it's all their own so they don't they don't get any outside in do it no the bus follows you the boss actually follows you all the way down the river

we were lucky enough to be invited to her kitchen which is based in Natchez it's a High Street Kitchen I mean it was a gorgeous little place actually and we learned how to make American biscuits
