We are booked on the American Queen in early June. I was wondering if anyone would know if this vessel has any dedicated radio frequencies. On past ocean cruises I have enjoyed listing on a scanner as the ship docks and leaves port. It is a real hoot listening to some of the conversations between the crew as they try to please difficult passengers.
My scanner will also tune the maritime frequency band and I would be grateful for any suggestions on what channels would be most active on the lower Mississippi.
Thank you for any help.

Lower Miss channels
67 is the passing channel from Baton Rouge on down. 68 is personal talk between pilots.Above Baton Rouge 13 is the main channel. Channel 14 is used by canal locks. Traffic lights in NOLA harbor use 67 also.
