which ship for the Mississippi?

which ship is the newest sailing the Mississippi? Would you sail up or down?

[BaumD]

Melody is the newest ship. Ship has to fight the current going northbound, so tend to move faster going southbound which may allow for more time in ports.

True (but less time sailing).  If you want to see a detailed discussion of this north-vs-south debate, switch over to the American Queen Voyages and read the recent "NOLA to Memphis or vice versa?" thread.
