Overall, this is a beautiful display piece. It really looks great. But, while there are "play" features to it, like the geared paddle wheel, it is in no way suitable for play. The rudder is only attached by a single stud, and is insanely easy to knock off, and pain to re-attach once the paddle-wheel is in place. The upper levels cannot be detached to see the interior without taking apart the boarding ramp rigging.
As a display piece this model really, really, would benefit from a light kit. Without it, much of it is shadowed and detail is lost.

Response from LEGOBy Priv, LEGO® Customer Service, September 20, 2025
Thank you for sharing your building experience and your review on your set! We would suggest double checking your build around the rudder as there may be a piece slightly off from where it is meant to be and to make sure all pieces are tightly pressed together to make sure the rudder stays in place. You should also be able to access the upper level by detaching the top piece without needing to remove the pieces that the boarding ramp rigging is attached to/sitting on top of. Please reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can help troubleshoot and get your River Steamboat cruising!

This is the best build ever. Detail was absolutely incredible. Engine room, kitchen, sleeping quarters, cocktail lounge with bandstand, dinning room, toilet, pilot house.
Working paddle wheel, gangplanks, anchor, rudder, removable sections to view all the details.
Only complaint is the base stand.

Very enjoyable build. Took a little over two months to put together. Some will say it is very repetitive but it is a LEGO set. One brick on another. I look forward to more like this
