Don't worry about water levels now, things can change literally overnight.

 

Ask again one week before your cruise.

whether you will encounter a problem also depends on the ship you will be traveling on. Right now concerns are low water-levels. Viking ships have a bigger draft than ships of other cruise lines and will therefore get effected sooner by low water-levels. For example, last year Viking had to bus people around while AMA was still able to cruise.

And it seems to work the same way in high water. Viking's ships are taller than AMA's and had to stop sailing sooner during the 2013 floods.
