We took a Mississippi River cruise on American Cruise Lines Oct. 3-10. It definately had the price tag of a luxury cruise but unfortunately fell very short. The worst thing was there was Legionella in the water (employees said this was a known issue prior to our departure). We were a group of 11, 8 of us got sick. There was also dreadful mold in the showers which we asked to have cleaned. The ...
We chose this cruise expecting a first class luxury cruise. We liked the all inclusive aspect of the cruise. However before we even got on board we ran into issues when trying to book shore excursions. The website would register my husbands excursions but not mine. That was all straightened out with a call was made to the cruise line. We had an overnight at the Peabody in Memphis which was great. ...
The experience of travelling the Mississippi was great and ticked one of our bucket list items. The low water was disappointing and whilst we accept that the cruise company had no control over nature the lack of communication both before the cruise and during was disappointing. It would have been an easy task to advise customers in advance of the change of itinerary as it was known well in advance ...
We sailed October 22 to November 5, 2022 on American Cruise Line, The Splendor, from St. Paul to New Orleans but it wouldn't let me put the correct date in.
We called 4 times asking about the conditions of Mississippi River. Even though they just returned doing the same cruise and had similar problems, they lied to us and stated everything was fine but cancelled 2 stops. By the time we ...
We are very experienced travelers and have been on over 30 ocean cruises including voyages on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Holland America, Norwegian, Celebrity, Azamara, and others. We were very disappointed with our experience on American Cruise Lines. This was the most expensive cruise per day onboard that we have paid and it was the poorest ship experience. I would say that we paid a ...

Our earlier cruising experiences consisted of thirteen ocean cruises. We chose this cruise because flights were being cancelled, covid restrictions are iffy and we could drive to Memphis. We anticipated visiting antebellum plantations and having an opportunity to see civil war locations. The pre-cruise stay at the Guest House at Graceland was a very nice plus to our cruise. Our luggage was ...
The cruise was overall adequate. We booked the owners suite. It was large but mostly empty space and not so grand furnishings. For the price we paid, $16,000 for both, it could have been much nicer. The crew was very friendly and helpful and onboard entertainment was interesting. The tours were excellent. If one likes to drink there was alcohol flowing, all included, for most of the day. ...
My husband and I chose this cruise because we wanted to stay in the USA . We wanted to cruise the river on a small ship. The ships are constructed in the United States and owned by a US family
We traveled the night before and stayed with other passengers at a lovely hotel in New Orleans.
The next day was easy boarding on the small ship with friendly and considerate crew members. Our ...
Cruise was 7 days from New Orleans. Daily stops in river towns like Natchez and Vicksburg were filled with history and wonderful tours of civil war battle fields, Southern mansions, museums and walking tours of historic districts. The daily selection of excursions was varied to accommodate every type of activity and interest. On board lectures and watercolor painting classes were great. Food ...
