This was my first cruise EVER that I took with my mother as her gift to me. What an amazing memory and the best part is my 'cruise souvenirs' were a group of women that I hope to see, again, soon!
I was excited to see the beauty of Maine from the water after visiting some of the ports last year by land. The water gives you an entirely different perspective!
Portland, Maine is the 'city' we ...
We love American cruise lines. It is geared for the older population. You are treated with respect and compassion. The ship we were on, the American Star only holds about 100 passengers, but there were only 50+ passengers. It felt like having your own private yacht. The onboard entertainer Mark Farris was wonderful. The cruise director Jenn Starr was amazing. The guest speaker Dale was so ...
My friend and I selected this cruise for this year based on the terrific itinerary that would bring us to the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River. We booked the trip in 2021 and the reviews we read were from 2019, a year after the ship launched and before the pandemic. They were wonderful. We didn’t think to go back and read reviews again, but did so while we were on the cruise - what a ...
We selected the San Juan Islands Tulip Festival Cruise to visit Skagit Valley for the annual tulip festival held every April. It rivals visiting the fields of Holland without the overseas travel. We spent time in Tulip Towne and were given a private escorted tour of the farm operations. It was very informative and educational. Anyone with an interest in gardening would love it.
The cruise ...
American Cruise Lines makes every cruise a 5-star experience!
The ship was spotless and so beautifully decorated from the various common areas to our private areas.
The staff and crew were wonderful. Made us feel like we were the most special guests on the vessel!
We had some rough waters on occasion but the captain and cruise directors handled the experience with wisdom.
The dining ...
This cruise, besides highlighting the Revolutionary War, was a Cherry Blossom theme. Since the blossoms were early this year, the itinerary was adjusted to include Washington DC first to be sure to catch their beauty near their peak. There were talks about the history of the cherry blossoms onboard plus excursions, including walking tours, which highlighted the cherry blossoms. All the art ...
March/April 2023 - My wife and I have been on numerous cruises (26+) throughout the world on various cruise lines over the years. This was our forth cruise on American Cruise Lines. Our American Revolution cruise started on March 26 in Baltimore, MD. This was the first cruise of the season.
We came down to Baltimore from Newark, NJ where we were visiting, on an Amtrak train. We stayed at ...
Christmas on the Chesapeake
We have done a fair amount of small ship cruising but not usually in the United States. A friend recommended American Cruise Lines when we wanted to see the Mississippi River. We did that trip this June and were so pleased with that experience that we immediately booked three more cruises with them. We chose to spend Christmas on the American Revolution Cruise on ...
My husband and I chose this cruise since we have no relatives nearby. We thought it would be special to be pampered by American Cruise Lines at this time of year! This was our first time on Chesapeake Bay, and we were astonished at the many excursions available. Not enough time to do them all, so we will need to come back again and cruise again with ACL. Exceptional excursions to us were the ...
We have traveled a lot, but have missed much of the USA. Our friends recommended American Cruise Lines (ACL) for both the quality of the cruise and the excellent on-board speakers and entertainment all keyed to the river and itinerary. We are seeing America on American Cruise Line.
We didn't know about the St. John's river prior to this trip, and while we have visited Florida many times have ...
