Riverboat cruisers come in all ages

I am responding to Arthur Frommer’s comments in “Taking It Easy on the Sleepy Mississippi” [On a Budget, Jan. 2]: I am a young 36, and I happily signed up with my mom, a young sixtysomething, for an art cruise on the American Queen.

It was more fun than my in-laws’ cruise to Mexico on a giant cruise ship.

I didn’t see anyone elderly on my cruise. Many were my age or younger.

So much for Frommer’s myth that riverboats are the geriatric cruise of the 21st century. It depends on your crowd. Always ask.
