Allowances for taking items aboard American Queen steamboats

[jucaha]

Hello!   We have cruised Europe with Viking...and appreciate that you are able to bring your own beverages aboard.   We like trying wines from locations we are visiting.   Can you bring beer, wine, etc onto the paddle wheelers on the Mississippi?  What is security like?   Do you pass thru metal detectors like on the mega ocean cruises...or is it like Viking?   

Thanking you in advance for any and all comments!
