My son was picked to do this a few months back, it was really cool to be up in the wheel house with the pilot and after the trip around the river, he got a certificate declaring him a certified "river's of america pilot", too cool.

Actually the last time I went on the Columbia, when some kids rang the ship's bell no one reacted to it, also when I tried the wheel, even though it creaked a bit, the cast member at the controls ignored my actions
