I've listened to the calliope play as the Delta Queen passes every year of my life, often running down to the river to enjoy the view. I took my daughter with me a few days ago to watch her debark. I've cruised twice with my grandmother and it was a wonderful experience. You feel like YOU are a part of history just being onboard. Old does not mean unsafe. Don't let politics take away our historic and beautiful Queen. I want to take my grandchildren down to the riverbank to see the Delta Queen pass and get a few more cruises in myself.

I just returned from my first trip on the Delta Queen (5 days: Cinn-Pitt). The boat was wonderful! Every cabin opens onto a deck just over the water; there was a full safety drill hours after boarding; and many other safety measures are in place. I never felt at risk during my voyage and look forward to another trip in the future, provided the boat is allowed to travel.

There is no reason the Delta Queen cannot continue as she has. I will not support any local, state, or federal politician who votes against the exemption.
Save the Delta Queen.

This is a wonderful National Historic Landmark vessel, safely maintained and safely operated. I've had the great pleasure of being aboard the Delta Queen, and hope my grandchildren will get the same opportunity.

i have grown up living next to the river. i remember when i was little and would hear the whistle blow and my mom and i would go running to the river bank to see as she would pass and waving to the guest aboard. now that i am older i still go running when i hear coming to town. my parents have been lucky enough to have rode on her twice now, and have said it's a total life changing experience. some day i would like to have my chance to ride her. since i live on the river it would be a shame to not see her any more and get to share that magic with my children. we can't lose this piece of history, it means to much to me and everybody who lives have been touched by this magical boat. the delta queen has been a way of life for all of us who live on the river. i can't imagine life without her and we shouldn't. we all need to rally together to save her. we can't let this be her final chapter.

I grew up on the Ohio River and cannot imagine this beautiful vessel not sailing. I have some very interesting pix of her. We MUST save her.

Please let the Delta Queen continue operation! My family has six different lots in Switzerland County along the Ohio River. We gather weekly with our family, children and grandchildren to enjoy the relaxing life of the Ohio River. One of the delights that thrill us all is the chance to see the Majestic Delta Queen sail by us at the River. We all stop what we are doing and run to the River's edge. Always a Delta Queen sighting is something talked about for weeks to come by the children. It gives our Grandchildren a little page of history. I have gotten to enjoy her since I was a young girl and also had the privilege to board the Delta Queen on one of her stops. It is a beautiful vessel and should not be put out of service!
