Creator's Key Takeaways
We'll leave New Orleans bound for Memphis. We'll spend 7 days on board making a few stops on our northward journey.
The food on board, well, that was really one of the highlights of our experience.
I think that's one of the reasons I would recommend this trip to you to explore this part of the American experience.
